Low-flow toilets

[burleytog]

These things cause more harm than good. Took 14 flushes... :-[

How is 22 gallons better than 5 gallons?   >

[Bassn Blvd]

Yo, goofball, your not supposed to use it as a dishwasher. ;D ;D

[1inStripes]

Some low flows are okay, but yes, quite a few suck.

[fish-fighting-illini]

Yep the government had their hand in determining the spec's on these. It was a disaster for quite some time. So much so that their was literally a "black market " for standard toilets when these came out. The plumbers are going to make a killing in the next 20 years.

 As we speak the government is working on or has finished revising the spec's for washing machines. I'm thinking of "warehousing" some washing machines.

the low-flow is like the new pig-tail light bulb.

only in america could the government ban a perfectly good lightbulb in the name of "saving the earth" and replace it with a "green" substitute loaded with mercury.

besides, if it comes out that end, i want niagara falls to take it away.

I installed a pressurized toilet a few years ago.  It only takes one flush now and you better not be sitting on it when you flush.  The suction will take you down with it.

I want a toilet that flushes so hard it cleanses my colon.  And I want an exhaust fan that sucks the newspaper out of my hands.

Yea, it's a great episode. I was about to mention Nate Hashaway from the zoning board. ;D

They're the worst. I can clog them with a bad fart.

Yeah if you drop it and brake it you can't clean it up legally unless you block off the area and leave and call a hazmat crew to come in and clean it.  Then if you are gonna move and want to sell it you have to list it as having had a hazard spill and have all the documentation that it has been cleaned properly.  

And as an added bonus the light they put out is shite and takes 10 minutes to come on.   >

Pretty much 100% incorrect.

I have a low flow but, the key is the throat size. Mine will flush 24 golf balls in one flush.

I bet that's tough on your septic tank.

It's sad that it's come to the government intruding into how much "outflow" I can discharge from myself into my toilet in order to match it's flushing capacity.

This forces America to break his or hers typical discharge into smaller bits which ultimately means more time spent on the pot. Seems very counterproductive.

I remolded my house recently and all my toilets are now Low Flow, but I can flush a load or two no problem, just leaves some streaks though.

Where do you think the government comes up with most of it's hairbrained ideas?

Long live Hank Hill! America needs more guys like him.
