Unrelated question, the water tank is not at the ceiling. It is located on the ground, like in the photo. Is the water pressure sufficient for flushing duty?

I believed there is a water pump to distribute the water to the various points.

U can already use the water now right? If u think the water is not filing fast enough then u will need a pump. U can check with the shop by telling them how many toilets and kitchen. They will propose u the pump size.

Just went to the show unit again. You are right, that is the rainwater collection tank. There is another tank at the ceiling. Phew.

Like another member mentioned, the WC is probably there so the door can clear when open/close. Change it to a folding door. I did that for my small bathroom and it “felt” more spacious cause it makes getting in and out feel easier.

Just curious do you have the measurements for your bathroom? Really does look small.

It does look small indeed. I have not taken the measurement, just visual.

Yes, I think combination of moving the WC to the right, change to a smaller wash basin and folding/sliding door will do the trick. Just hope this does not affect the floor tiles that much.

A wall hanging basin without sitting on a tile top will save some space.

Do share measurements when you get it, I’m curious how small a bathroom can be.

coz if shift to the side-to-side cant move much compare shift front-back

What is the reason to move the WC at the first place? Due to floor size?

I redo the toilet and removed the offset flange in the other house done by the previous owner. No recurring problem

1. the floor is uneven and water become stagnant on the spot, plus we remove the massage bath tub and need to cover its drainage hole
2. we plan to separate the toilet and the shower area to establish a wet and dry area (it's a 3 room 1 toilet house)

In a discharve piping, it cannot have more than one bends or U-shape at the begining of flushing or it will hinder the flow.

If the contractor did not dig up 6 feet of the flooring, then likely it flows sideway to the old pipe.
