The European Shelving System
The "shelf" is located inside the toilet approximately half way in between the rim and the bottom of the bowl. All deposits into the bowl rest on the shelf until the flushing mechanism is engaged. Once engaged, the deposits are forced down the hole and through the pipes. This system eliminates the use of excess water, but deposital air time (time in which deposits are in contact with the open air), is significantly increased.
Deposital air time can often temporarily affect the will to live. Studies have shown that this common side effect is most usually the result of the subject's exposure to public restrooms.
The question can then be posed: when weighing the cost, which is more important, stink decreasor or water saver?

Ugh- that is completely disgusting! Actually the shelving system did almost affect permanently dad's will t live, as he has described it before! I hope you have lots of effective aerosals !! (Also, a yucky- way too personal thought!)

Ooh, a little different from the profound nature of your usual posts! Equally important though! I'm going for water saving being the most important thing but really only because I know that's the right answer... Really, it's the pong-reducing properties I think should be focussed upon!
Thank you for the courtesy of a "before" photo.
Haha! Just for the record, that's not my toilet!
I TOTALLY understand and feel your pain. Indonesia also takes part in the "shelf system" ... yuck!
Stink decreaser is always the right answer! Put the water to work where its wanted.
