- I do not normally do reviews on things i buy.
- But i am making an exception.
- My Wife and i are old and disabled.
- My Wife is bedridden, and cannot walk.
- She has been hospitalized 6 times in the last 3 years for broken bones she received while trying to walk to the bathroom.
- There was no way to arrange for our bed to be CLOSER TO THE TOILET.
- SO I DECIDED I NEEDED TO BRING THE TOILET CLOSER TO OUR BED....!!
- But how... ?
- Normal Toilets have their outlet sewer line EXIT THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET.
- We live in Florida and have no basement, and contractors said it would cost $11,000 to bust the concrete floor and install a sewer line under the house and closer to our bed.
- Then a yankee friend of mine said up north they use REAR OUTLET TOILETS IN BASEMENTS, and pump the output effluent up to reach the sewer line..!!!
- I realized we could use a REAR-OUTLET-TOILET , and would not need to pump the effluent UP, but just pipe it right out of the house at ground level thru a drilled hole in the concrete wall, and then dump it into an outside sewer access point.
- So that is what i did.
- So i bought this REAR OUTLEY TOILET, and installed it sitting in the middle of our bedroom RIGHT NEXT TO MY WIFE'S SIDE OF THE BED.
- I ran the exit-sewer-line out the back of the toilet, and thru a drilled hole in the wall, and and into the sewer access pipe that fortunately sits just outside of our bedroom wall.
- I ran an incoming pvc water pipe in from the outside using the same hole in the wall. The water line was fed from the yard watering outside faucet.
- END RESULT, NOW MY BEDRIDDEN WIFE ONLY HAS TO SIT UP IN BED, SHIFT HER LEGS OFF THE BED, AND SHE CAN SHIFT FROM THE BED TO THE TOILET, AND BACK AGAIN.
- NO MORE BROKEN BONES AND HOSPITAL TRIPS CAUSED BY HER FALLING WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE 15 FEET TO THE BATHROOM.
- YES, HAVING A TOILET IN THE BEDROOM IS UNUSUAL, BUT WITH OLD PEOPLE, AND DISABLED PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO ADAPT TO THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT.
- Thank GOD Walmart was able to sell me this rear-outlet-toilet.
