Every goddamn time I go to the crapper I forget how horrifyingly annoying it is to flush once I've dumped 'my load'. Taking a crap and flushing is more difficult and frustrating than arguing with an apple zealot. Every god damn time I get on my toilet there is always at first a sign of relief when I empty my load, I read for a bit, I wipe up and then I proceed to flush.

Out of all the things that could be difficult in life, WHY IS IT THAT FLUSHING IS ONE OF THEM!? All one should have to do is press the lever and the poo goes to down the pipes, once I hit the lever, I should never see that fscking terd again.. But no, no no no, the craphole has to close the gates and force my crap to stare right back at me with it's putrid smell and say, WTF do you think you're doin? I ain't going nowhere bub, over my sticky, smelly as body! So I flush and I flush with the water raising higher and higher in the bowl before I fscking realize I need to pull out this retarded hightech, multichamber whatchamacallit plunger I have and proceeed to unclog the damn toilet. I have to spend a good 5 minutes unplugging this worthless craphole of a toilet every time I use this toilet, I'm surprised it doesn't fscking get clogged when I take a fscking piss.

After I unclog this toilet, I get a huge whiff, my crap, essentially flipping me off and saying '****** you' right before leaving. It's like this fscking toilet is playing a joke everytime I use it, I don't understand, is it asking for a ****** sledgehammer to it's face? Cause I swear to god I'm ready to ****** crack it's goddamned skull.

How is it that these fscking legislators came up with this sh1t? What, is this country filled with people who piss in their toilets at home but take a dump outside? Maybe it's those ****** liberals that thought of the low flow toilet because all they do is eat fscking soybeans, making their poo resemble deer poo, no wonder why they think these damn toilets work.

So after I'm done with the plunger, I now have to shake it vigorously until all of the water 'leaves it's chambers' so it doesn't drip ass water all over the place. When putting away the plunger, I come to the frustrating realization that I have just flushed the stupid toilet at least five times, I have effectively wasted more fscking water than had I had a normal toilet. The point of these toilets is to have me USING LESS WATER, NOT MORE!:| So every god damn time I take a crap, instead of using 3 gallons of water, I am now USING 8! Great, so this worthless crapinfested, bacteria hellhole of a toilet now effectively pisses me off in two ways! It takes 5-10mintues out of my day, trying to get the fscking thing working again so I don't stink up the bathroom and I'm now going to pay more on my waterbill because these fscking hippie legislators who crap like deer thought it would be a great idea to reduce the waterflow of a toilet to equivalent of me taking my morning leak, just ****** GREAT. I hate you, I hate who ever thought this would be a ****** good idea, I hope some redneck one day comes up to your bed and smothers you in your sleep, only to dispose of your body in the county sewer.:|:|:|:disgust:

low flow toliets are a good idea gone bad. they don't work. you have to flush a second time most of the time. where did we save water there? :confused:

i agree with your frustrations OP.

You need to install an anti-scald valve in your shower. There are two kinds but they basically do the same thing. One has a sort of heat-sensitive spring while the other monitors water pressure on the hot and cold side. In either case, if there's a loss of cold water pressure, it'll automatically cut back on the hot side and if there's a loss of hot water pressure, it'll automatically cut back on the cold side.

OP, how old is your toilet?

When low flow toilets first came out they had tons of problems. CUrrent ones work great.

When I bought my house 4+ years ago it had a huge 5 gallon or so flushing toilet. The thing would clog up every other time I used it. So a couple years ago I bought an Elger toilet from Menards. It's a 1.5 gallon low flow toilet. I can load that thing up pretty good before it will clog. It works FAR FAR better than the old one I had even though it uses like 1/3 of the water.

Plus the effect on our water bill was amazing. It dropped $10-$20 or so and there's only two of us living here. Imaging having a whole family and going frmo a 5 to a 1.5. the water svings would be huge.

I'd go check and see how old that toilet it and if it's know to have clogging issues. Then maybe just go buy a better one.

About to say the same. Comparing 1 toilet to ALL is like saying my car broke down so ALL cars must be junk.

There are good and bad toilets. Same with any product.

Isn't there some sort of valve that is supposed to reduce the severity of this? Perhaps you could just get a plumber to put those in without having to redo the whole bathroom?

edit: arcas beat me to it and had better information to boot.

They don't do much for turds but they probably save on whizz.

the other problem with low flow toilets is, the angle of the drain.

the angle of the drain pipes were designed with 5 gallons in mind. a lot of the older houses tend to clog when you put low flow toilets in there because there isn't enough water to keep the solid waste moving.

actually, that was told to me by a guy that used to work for American Standard (toilet company in Trenton NJ)

They don't do much for turds but they probably save on whizz.

the answer of course is to only flush after a whiz if someone had already whizzed before you.

if the water is clear don't flush if it is yellow flush.

that sounds gross but with the 5 gallon toilets there is enough water in it to make it livable.

it ends up being about the same then. ;)

The Japanese have "dual flush" toilets - one setting for liquid waste, one setting for solid waste. It's quite efficient.

Alternative #1: Dump, flush, wipe, flush.
Alternative #2: Dump, wipe, flush and hold the handle until the tank empties.
