1.5 gallons per flush is not conservative

[compuwiz1]

When you have to flush it 3 times, damnit!

What were those idiots thinking?

Sometimes, you have a day, where you must flush it three times, commonly known as a triple flusher. There would be no need for this, if the damn toilets worked the way they used to, back in the good old days.

The good news, is, I have found a way around this stupid plumbing limitation, and fortunately, used toilet parts are cheap, as well as plentiful.

The most I ever have to flush is twice on occasion. So yes, 1.5 gallon saves water.

My guess would be you're using too much paper.

Vacuum flush system....

How about trying a "courtesy flush"? Or don't wipe with a catchers mitt.

And, just how do you determine, what is the right amount of paper? This could vary, from meal to meal.

Or eating too much cheese. Get a freakin' coat hanger and do a little pre-flush stabbing with that baby.

okay, educate those that don't know. How do I upgrade my toilets?

 

[Aimster]

I dont unload all at once or it clogs

but my old toilet I unload it all with no programs

 

[mugs]

They were thinking that most of the time people are just peeing, so it still saves water.

or you can buy a dual-flush and save water even if you have to flush 3 times. .8 gal for #1 and 1.6gal for #2. It has 2 buttons on top and you get the choice.

You cannot give birth to 2lb lunches in this day and age, so it seems. And the salad bar... forget about it! :shocked:

One of my toilets is particularly annoying. It's an oblong-shaped toilet that creates a pretty good swirl pattern but the water spends so much time swirling that by the time it actually starts to drain, more often than not the...erm...dumpage has been torn apart into little pieces. By that time there isn't enough water remaining in the tank to wash it all down so I have to flush twice just to ensure the bowl is clear. It's not a question of too much toilet paper but of poor flow design.

You got your body function numbers backwards, chief.

I'm sometimes a little slow but how did I mess it up?

I vote that everyone should have the industrial strength flushers found in most commercial buildings.

 

[rhino56]

pee in the sink, it saves 2/3 of total water usage

 

[Squisher]

There are toilets that do work well at the 1.6 gallon flush level.

You can get some pointers about toilets here

You can talk the rest of your life away about plumbing, including toilets, here
