Low-Flow Toilets Suck (or Blow; you're pick)!

**** As requested, I first did an extensive search of all thread in all forums on this topic and found NONE!****

Low-Flow toilets actually waste water. News at 11:00.

(I think this marks the end of anything with substance I have to say; of course, that may have occured sometime previously, before, in the past, at a prior date and time)

Fo sho, no newbie could have come up with that!

Was this one of the points of discussion during your meeting with "the nobles"?

I know all those "bandwagon jumpers" will miss the deep Tiki-ness of your missive, they'll just think that lo-flo toilet bashing is "what's happening!"

:wink:

That being said, you're way ahead of me on substance! :lol:

I'm going to have to disagree on this one. I'm not pick at all.

Bong's exactly right on the low flo toilets. If you're just peeing then they're A-OK but if you produce something with a little more substance, then you often have to flush twice! Or more!

Low flow showerheads are "Da Bomb" however. Since I got a low flo showerhead I have yet to run out of hot water whilst showering. And that's a blessing. Also when you combine shower time with pee time then you really make the low flo toilet a complete waste of time, water and energy. Go with the showerhead people!

Low flow toilets are ridiculous. Half the time you need to do a courtesy flush for yourself just to keep things from clogging up.

Way too much information.....

It is true. The low flow toilets hear in India are vary bad. We are always having to many flush.

Whoa, ok, now breakfast doesnt seem so good...

Tbird.

You're right Kono, low-flow shower heads are worth it. It just takes a while to get used to less water, but then you're good to go.

Speaking of which, how many TC'rs pee in the shower?

One time when I had athlete's foot my wife told me that Madonna cured her athlete's foot by peeing on her feet in the shower. I told her "Yeah, but do you know how hard it is to get Madonna to pee on your feet in the shower?"

just dress up like britney spears, freddie :)

That's easy for you to say J$, you've gor the legs for it! :D

I think that picture is just a spoon full of some exotic soup.

I have a low flow toilet and a low flow shower. I fixed the shower by simply removing the plastic o-ring inside the hsower head that reduced the flow. Now I am blasted with a firehose like torrent when I shower, which is awesome. The toilet I cannot fix however, and its driving me crazy. You have to flush 3 or 4 times whenever someone puts exotic soup into the bowl. This is counterproductive for sure!

Maybe I should run around barefoot in public restrooms more often. Maybe my wife will feal sorry for me and that will finally get her to take a shower with me to pee on my feet. She's always been a huge Madonna fan.

Ya know there are low-flow toilets with TWO buttons!

One for #1, the other for 'bulkier' needs.
Sounds like a solution!

As far as water goes, we used to be a two shower maximum household. Whenever guests were around we'd make them use the hose outside.

We recently converted to gas and an on-demand hot water system. You turn on the tap, the hot starts flowing. You NEVER run out(unless of course you have a power outage) and there is no tank! The entire thing is about 2' X 1' X 1'. Also great if you're putting in a basement suite and need the extra space.

Low flow sucks. Give me a nice massaging shower and a tsunami when I flush :wink:

I spent 9 1/2 years going out to sea on Coast Guard ships...Let me just say that low flow VACUUM toilets really SUCK. They are so bad that they put a sawed off broom stick next to them for you to "break up" your waste. Yummy!

So you wanna talk shit doo yah
Well as a builder of fine homes
We like to install only one brand of toilet
From the least expensive in their line to the most expensive.
TOTO toilets can take a 2" handball and suck it down every time.
We even install them as construction toilets and have all the workmen and workwomen on a 13,000 square foot house that takes 3 years, use them. And never a clog.
So remember Aunty Em, when you crap on TOTO
your not in Kansas any more?
