If the Tank is in the wall, and the "Hopper" is hooked up to the wall, How do you service the Float Valve and all that Nonsense ???

Sounds Like a Dream come True.

However, a truly nice design just to vacuum around the Loo. ( Personally, I never found it inconvenient to vac around a W.C.. )

The tank is serviced through a removable panel. What I can't get over is the carpet under the bowl. Talk about a maintenance nightmare.

Look at the vacuum!

She is vacuuming with a Filter Queen!

Notice the toilet paper that matches the “desert turquoise,” er, “closet.”

We have so much choice in consumer goods today, but you can get toilet paper in any color you want as long as it’s white.

Hanging toilets are the standard here, new houses are all built with them and people renovating their house put one in often too. Ofcourse no carpet here, but tiles. Cleaning is a breeze!

Like the ad for Cold Power. She could only get cold water into her washer. Guess she never thought that both hoses were not connected and that the one connected was for the cold water and was put on reversed for the valves.

I remember colored toilet paper very well, hell I remember when it had printed designs on it and some came with a fragrance. Most paper napkins and towels back then also came in colors and prints. You rarely see those now.

Me too Louis.  My grandmother used Soft & Pretty while my mother bought Charmin in green or blue and a neighbor bought pink.

The Kohler toilet I bought for my basement hangs from the wall. It required a water closet carrier (aka "chair carrier") that is bolted to the floor at the bottom of the inner wall - that part actually cost more than the bowl! It will support even a very heavy person. The toilet has a Sloan flush valve, which required a 1" water line to be connected. Mopping under the commode is much nicer than having to reach around to clean behind it.

As for colored toilet paper, I think I remember it being discontinued because it was causing irritation to certain "parts" on women.

Carpet in a bathroom is nasty! Only suitable for a "dude free" home.

In my basement I'm on my third and final wall hung toilet.  When we had the sewers put in years ago we had a 3" line come in at floor level to accommodate the wall hung toilet and the various sinks and laundry equipment.  The first had a tank and after about a decade it failed, cracking along at the mount points, replaced that with a similar unit, again it failed.

 

After that I get fed up.  Bought a commercial low flow unit and put in a Sloan flush valve.  This will never fail as it is properly designed and built.  Luckily all three matched up to the in wall carrier framed into 2x6 studs, no floor connection needed.  Plus with the Sloan valve's pressure this thing has never backed up or gotten plugged.  Kind of wish all my toilets had Sloan valves...
