Bathroom Blogfest '07: Automatic Flushers - Pros and Cons

Automatic flushers on toilets. They seem like a good solution. People don't have to deal with the whole germ issue and touching handles. And the toilet gets flushed when needed.

But - they need some work. Have you ever walked by a toilet or into a stall and it just flushes because the sensor was triggered by the light or lack of it?

Or - how about when you are sitting down and it starts flushing unexpectedly? Have you ever had this happen?

Again, there is an environmental price to pay when toilets flush unnecessarily. And the customer inconvenience is not to be ignored.
