Sinkpositive multipurpose accessory sink
It’s not that I have an obsession with saving water in the bathroom, but when I ran across this device, I just couldn’t resist. The sink replaces the lid on your toilet tank, connects to the fill valve and operates whenever the toilet is flushed. There are several advantages to having a fixture like this:
Runs whenever the toilet is flushed – no handles to touch.
Encourages hand washing – faucet is already running, why not?
Conserves water – water used for hand rinsing goes into tank flush next time.
Serves as a visual reminder of just how much water is going down the toilet.
Can help detect early leaks in the flush valve.
Sometimes the simplest answers can be right in front of us. The device is made by SinkPositive and sells for just over $100.
Do you ever think about how much water goes down the sink drain in the bathroom just during the normal course of daily use? Have you ever thought about whether using drinkable water to flush waste down a toilet was a good idea? Some estimates of home water usage are that 74% is in the bathroom. It is also estimated that about 40% of domestic water consumed is to flush toilets. I’ve often wondered about this, more and more so lately as more frequent drought conditions accompanied by increased development and water usage are making us more conscious of water management issues.

One way to save water and dollars!
Do you ever think about the amount of water you flush each day? Even with a low flow toilet you flush a significant amount of water unnecessarily. Estimates are that you could save 5 gallons per day per person, so for a family of 3 that’s about 450 gallons a month or 5400 gallons per year! You could replace your toilets with the expensive dual flush kind, which are common in Europe, or you can install a simple device like “Select A Flush”.
Select A Flush easily installs in minutes using highly engineered, long lasting seals. It fits most 1.6 to 7 gallon two piece toilets. You get to choose whether you need a small flush or a larger flush; so simple you
choose to move the leaver to the left or right! This system is also safe for septic systems and it is less that $30 per kit.
