Who invented the Toilet ???

Answer 1

John Crapper... ha ha not really:
Thomas Crapper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Crapper.Thomas Crapper (baptized September 28, 1836; d. January 27, 1910) was a plumber who founded Thomas Crapper & Co. Ltd. in London.

Despite urban legend, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (the myth being helped by the surname). However, Crapper put in effort to popularise it and did come up with some related inventions.

JF BRONDEL invented it!!!! read on,
However, it seems the idea of toilets went down the drain until the mid-1700s. Reading further, we found the answer to your question -- the first valve-type flush toilet was introduced in 1738 by a man named J.F. Brondel.

Of course, the "water closet" had been invented 150 years earlier by John Harrington, and the valve toilet would undergo many serious revisions before it came to resemble the modern bathroom fixture we use today. Thankfully, most of the incremental improvements are fully credited in Sulabh's toilet history.

Strangely, there was one name that didn't appear anywhere in the fascinating document: Thomas Crapper. We'd long heard stories about the toilet being invented by man named Crapper. Had we been taken in by a schoolyard myth?

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by the toilet, as the simplest was a whole in the ground, so its a bit hard to define who invented that.

"The original flush toilet was made by Sir John Harrington, but due to slurs published by himself and being ridiculed in England for his invention the toilet was never mass-produced. Then Alexander Cummings, a watch-maker, patented his design for a flush toilet, which was the basis for the modern toilet the human population (as well as some housepets) uses today."

Answer 3

Crapper was an engineer who is credited with the invention of the flushing toilet and adding the word crap to the English language.

Crapper was born in Waterside, Yorkshire in 1836, the son of a steamboat captain. At the age of fourteen, Crapper was apprenticed to a plumber in Chelsea, where he served as a journeyman. In 1861, Crapper started his own business in London, called Thomas Crapper and Co. The company manufactured sanitary ware, bathroom fittings and in particular the flush toilet, which made the firm famous. The merchandise was noted for its quality and value, and the company thrived. The products became regular household items throughout the country. Some ‘Crapper’ manhole covers may be seen today in Westminster Abbey. The firm drew the attention of the Royal Family, and Crapper was commissioned to fit out the Royal country house of Sandringham with thirty water closets with cederwood seats. The company enjoyed Royal patronage even after Crapper’s death and obtained several Royal Warrants.

The assumption that Crapper invented the flushing toilet in untrue. The device was created by Sir John Harington, a courtier of Elizabeth I, who had a ‘john’ built at the palace. It was developed by Alexander Cummins, whose device allowed a modicum of water to remain in the bowl to prevent seepage from the sewers. Crapper did popularise the loo and made it an accepted domestic fixture. The notion that Crapper gave his scatological name to faeces is just crap. The word ‘crap’, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, derives from the Middle English ‘crappe’, meaning chaff or residue from rendered fat.

Crapper died in 1910 and is buried in Beckenham Cemetery, Elmers End Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TD.
