The first one made by Kohler, that is. Pretty late to the game, but better than never, I guess. Still not as efficient as a 3/6 litre dual-flush.

1) How does it perform in MaP testing?
2) What's the water surface area?
3) Is it available in ADA-height?
4) Why can't FHB include litres along with American gallons?
