LMAO!!
PS... the flow in my toilet will scare ya, but floaters STILL often require a second flush! ;)
Or the scheme is perfect, but it just hasn’t been more fully implemented or implemented often enough.
Nowadays, the use of water is MORE with these toilets, rather than less. Has to be if you need to flush 2-3 or more times.
Just as Thomas Crapper was “honored” for his contribution of the “ballcock” to indoor plumbing by the ubiquitous reference to his surname for evermore, perhaps we confer similar status on Superdoofus Al Gore. Once might say,”Excuse me, I have to use the Algorator” or “My morning routine includes a brisk walk, a cup of black coffee, and nice big Algore.” Loonie, lefist, progressives should leave plumbing to plumbers if they are to ever learn that Algore rolls downhill.
Yep, there's the first verification flush, before you even do your business, to make sure the person before you didn't clog up the pipes, and then the additional 2-3 flushes, depending on how much toilet paper needs to be used.....before, one flush was enough.
BA-WOOOOSH

Actually the sewers were designed with at total per household volume of water (average) that is dased upon all of what you listed. Revomal of one part toilets (new low flow)is enough to make the system over sized and therefore starting to clog.
yes that is always the fall back position with lefties.
Don’t they realize that oxygen is 2/3s of CO2, that deadly greenhouse gas???
There is so much salt in the water that finally wends its way to CA that drip irrigation over time caused the soil quality to deteriorate.
The solution? Flood the farms with lots of water to wash away the salt.
Brilliant.
Couldn’t agree more. We have some water issues here in SE Va and I am of the opinion that most of them could be solved if we used ‘grey water’ (shallow water wells, high minerals, not fit for drinking) for flushing.
How about we stop trying to save water and start trying to save civilization?
Well, whodathunkit? Their poo stinks too!
Kills algae & that starts a whole downward spiral of events, none of them good.
From time to time, there are unplanned releases here of overflow water from lake Okeechobee and the excess phosphorus does the same thing - can’t be helped since all of South Florida is interdependent on an extensive system of canals.
>hat most of them could be solved if we used ‘grey water’ (shallow water wells, high minerals, not fit for drinking) for flushing.
Okay, but that is not “grey water.”
Grey water is any washwater that has been used in the home, except water from toilets.
Dish, shower, sink, and laundry water comprise 50-80% of residential “waste” water.
We had a new well dug. Never capped the old shallow well. It probably was dug 100 years ago. Nothing wrong with the water, just would run out in the middle of summer from time to time and have to wait for hours for the water level to come back up. I've been telling my hubby for several years now, we need to use that water for laundry or toilet flushing. It can't be that hard to set it up. Main reason for this is, now we have a 300'+ deep well, and the pump is costing us plenty in electricity. Probably around $25.00+/- a month.
AMEN BROTHER!
What I have never figured out is who told this brain trust that it is at all possible to waste water?
It is absolutely not. Water is like energy, it can not be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.
Now I will admit there are places it’s harder to get at, but the idea of “wasting” water is a farce. It all evaporates into rain, and is redistributed mostly as needed.
The dumbest thing I heard some infobabe say (and that’s a competition) was when a water main break was causing this huge fountain (60-100ft) in the air, her comment was “Look at all that water being wasted”. I threw a brick at the TV. I so bad wanted to find her and ask her straight faced to explain that statement. The water was rolling down a hill into Sugar Creek, which winds itself into the Catawba River, where it evaporates, and falls again.
Man, common sense with these people is like garlic to a vampire!
