(pedestal or slab) as well as those who cleanse with
water. It is only appropriate when there is a constant
supply of water available, and where the infrastructure is available or can be built to manage waste water. The Pour Flush Toilet requires
(much) less water than a traditional cistern Flush Toilet.
However, because a smaller amount of water is used,
the Pour Flush Toilet may clog more easily and thus,
require more maintenance.
If water is available, this type of toilet is appropriate for
both public and private applications.Pour Flush Toilets are adequate for almost all climates. Pour Flush Toilets are especially appropriate in densely populated areas where dry handling of excreta isn't socio-cultural appropriate.
