Buying and Installing Your Own Squat ToiletI never would have thought this would merit mention, but I keep getting mail on the topic of, "Please tell me where I can buy my own squat toilet!" And, somewhat surprisingly, if you ask Yahoo or Google to search for "squat toilet manufacturer", this page comes up as the most relevant one on all the Internet. Due to all the meta-level discussion about said topic, including that previous sentence... Well, that's nowhere near so strange as some of the web searches that people do when they stumble across this page. Yes, I have looked at the web server logs, and yes, they do show search terms used to find this page with a search engine, and yes, there are an awful lot of really sick people out there.
Beyond that, in the interest of public service (and getting people off my back), here is all I know on the topic. Many thanks to Richard Pratt rhpratt@texas.net for tracking some of this down and forwarding the details. Zurn Industries makes an "Eastern Style Water Closet" that you can order and have installed by your plumber. It's pretty expensive in the U.S.
Toiletological correspondant Natalie pointed out that Parryware, http://eparryware.com/, also carries them. Go to something like: http://www.eparryware.com/products/category.asp?t=c and look at the "Indian Pans" menu. If the above link doesn't work, go to http://eparryware.com/, click "products", then "range", and look for the "Indian Pans" menu. As for other alternatives:
Finally, if you are like a recent correspondant who still could not figure it out even given all the above information, and apparently wanted me to come to his home and install one, I can't help you. If you're not bored yet, you might be interested in (or at least tolerate): |
