Potex is pretty common in Singapore.It's the next generation of SPs.I wonder why SP ceased production.Potex appeared around 1985 and lasted till the early 1990s for the first model.You can see them in the following pictures...
The Potex you see above was taken at a shophouse at Hougang Avenue 8.It was very difficult to find an original toilet there because all the coffee shops have renovated their toilets.I went to buy a collector's card from this shop and asked the shopkeeper for permission to use the toilet.I paid $5 bucks to take this photo.
The one you see at the left is taken at a Public Toilet at Block 266 Serangoon Central.You won't be able to find this toilet anymore because it has been renovated.
What's really great about this toilet is that it has a Shires Cistern.The Shires Cistern is one of the best ones I've ever flushed.Or in fact it's the best.Just need a little force and the flushing pressure is really great.
Plus the fact that the feel is good.There's a springy effect when you pull the handle.
The photo you see on the right is the full view of
the toilet.The Shires Cistern is black in color.
It's not easy to be able to find this type of Cistern in Singapore.If you are lucky,there's still one more at Beauty World Center,Level 3 toilet.
Shires Cistern belongs to the mid-1980s era.You can find it at Funan Center,The Adelphi and Beauty World Center back then.It's still my favourite.Of course it has to match with an SP toilet,then it'll be perfect.
