A toilet that is authorized by the WaterSense Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to bear the WaterSense label. NON-WATER URINAL. A urinal that discharges into the sanitary drainage system but is not supplied by a water distribution system. WATERSENSE-LABELED FIXTURE. A plumbing fixture that has been tested by a third-party laboratory in accordance with the WaterSense Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, has been certified by such laboratory as meeting the performance and efficiency requirements of the program and has been authorized by the program to use its label. 2.

Behavioral economics was used to analyze the 27 design of the dual flush mechanism of the Sloan Uppercut® toilet. The default option, pushing the 28 handle down, results in a large flush. Because Americans have been ―conditioned‖ to push the 29 toilet handle down, it was expected that most users would push the handle down out of habit. A 30 field experiment measuring up versus down flushes in eight women‘s toilets in a municipal 31 building confirmed expectations. While Sloan predicted a 2:1 urination-to-defecation ratio, the 32 observed ratio during the control period was 1:4, i.e. the ratio was the opposite of what would 33 occur if people used the toilets correctly. Adding signage to each stall only increased the ratio to 34 2:5, emphasizing the importance of the default.
