I saw these things all over Japan when I was there. I want one!
I first encountered the Sink Positive during a tour of the Good Hotel in San Francisco (”intended to be the first hotel with a conscience”). It was there that I first encountered the SinkPositive, a remarakble water saving bathroom fixture - a sink that is placed on top of the toilet tank and allows consumers to use toilet flushing water twice: once to wash their hands and again to flush the toilet. The fixture goes for $109 - $119 plus S&H and replaces your traditional toilet’s tank lid. After every flush, the water that comes from the water supply line comes out of a faucet at the top of the toilet allowing you to wash your hands as it refills the toilet bowl. It looks sort of link a dentist’s sink. The SinkPositive is not meant to replace the bathroom sink, but will eliminate the need to use more water for handwashing post-bathroom visits. Basically SinkPositive creates a greywater system that is easy to install and use, inexpensive, and allows a household to operate without interruption.

I bought one from Real Goods and love it. Easy to install and kids use it. What most people don't get is that the water comes from the fresh water supply and after use drains to the bowl. It becomes the topic of conversation with every new guest in my home.

I had one of these years ago in my home in Japan! It worked great. I never did understand why it took so long for it to come to the states.

These are standard in Japanese houses and apartments. So are a 1/2 button or handle. You can do a mini flush or big flush, depending on your bidness. About time for us to enjoy these too. more »
