Why don't people install urinals in houses?

[beer]

I mean, they use maybe at most a third of the water a conventional toliet uses. I mean granted it would need to be alongside a stall for the female types but I think we should start putting urinals in houses. That way, you save yourself on your water bill, and they're so convenient too.

interesting proposal.

Because 2 toilets are more expensive than one? I dunno. I always wanted one where I've lived. Makes aiming SOO much easier when you're drunk. 🙂

I'd say probably because having a urinal and a toilet is more expensive then having just a toilet, despite the fact that the toilet consumes more water.

How much would a urinal be? It would seem that after a few years it would repay itself, at the latest.

Urinals usually smell pretty bad, and there's always the issue of excess &quot;drippage&quot;

A better solution would be: In Australia the toilets have 2 buttons one for #1 and #2. The button for #1 uses about half the water as a full flush #2 button.

they also look cruddy... toilets are so much more welcoming.

Probably because they look bad, smell bad, and usually leak etc..and it would be a pain to clean

If you want to save water, learn and follow this motto:

If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

I went to the Keys for a couple of days in 6th grade and the tree-hugging counselors used the same motto. 🙂

Ther's no need to install a urinal. There's already one in every bathroom. It's called the 'sink'. 😛

 

[MrCraphead]

Man, that's a great idea, I think I'll put a urinal in my house once I get it......anyone know how much that'd cost?

 

[dafatha00]

OVERTIME!!! OMG

ROFL

Now remind me NEVER to wash my hands at your house.

urinals stink of piss

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I think I'll install a urinal in my house when I have it built. 🙂

 

[chainbolt]

If it's getting warmer they really stinkg and smell. You have to put in lavendar

My girfriend hates urinals, she says it looks disgusting

 

[rmblam]

I bet you are trained to put down the seat too. ;-)

 

[heat23]

you will save $1 at the MOST per month on the waterbill...
im sure they cost a few hundred plus another couple hundred to install

 

[Sluggo]

Its probably due to the fact that urinals are only manufactured for commercial use (translation more expensive.) I doubt that a urinal uses less water than a low flow residential toilet.

the seat down? when I pee? that's strange, because our pot doesn't have seat
