A high efficiency toilet configuration includes a water tank. The tank includes a supply line, a mechanical valve controlling a flow of water from the line into the tank, and walls and a base. The tank includes a through-hole in the base channeling water out of the water tank and a tank outlet hole including a housing extending through the through-hole. The tank includes an outlet valve configured for selectively prohibiting water from flowing through the tank outlet hole and permitting water through the tank outlet hole during a flush event. The tank includes a water column vessel disposed around the outlet hole and configured for separating water in the water tank between water outside of the vessel and a channel of water contained over the outlet hole. The configuration includes a toilet base including a bowl and a plenum for channeling the water to the bowl.

A toilet configuration that is connectable to a sewer drainage pipe is provided. The toilet configuration includes a water storage tank, a ceramic toilet body including a toilet bowl, and a water supply plenum operable to receive water from the water storage tank and channel the water to the toilet bowl. The toilet configuration further includes a primary drain operable to fluidly connect the waste receiving basin and the sewer drainage pipe and at least one footrest formed unitarily with an outer surface of the ceramic toilet body. The footrest is operable to aid a user in elevating at least one knee while the user is seated upon the toilet configuration.

Anti-overflow toilet

A toilet includes a water storage tank, a bowl including a waste receiving basin that includes an upper rim and at least one toilet bowl aperture in a side wall of the waste receiving basin, a water supply plenum operable to receive water from the water tank and channel the water to the bowl, a primary drain operable to connect the basin and a sewer pipe, and a secondary drain fluidly operable to connect the toilet bowl aperture to the sewer pipe and operable to drain the water from the bowl. The secondary drain is separate from the primary drain and includes an auxiliary aperture fluidly connecting the secondary drain to the water supply plenum and operable to drain the water from the plenum. The toilet bowl aperture and the auxiliary aperture are operable to permit the water to bypass the primary drain when the primary drain is clogged.
