I replaced my toilet with a new model 2 years ago. Was it the best of the best, no, but neither was my old one. Use of any amount of toilet paper with the new one = a mandatory double flush, every single time. Every so often a #1 with no TP will require a double flush as well. Yes I'm serious.
- kbenson 9y agoYou've explained that you have a broken toilet, not that regulations made a bad toilet. If your toilet can't even cycle a liquid through enough to even appear clean, you've got other problems.
- coolso 9y agoIt cycles the liquid just fine; it's getting rid of 100% of the bubbles that urinating sometimes creates (typically when it's concentrated, e.g., in the morning) that it has trouble with.
- pwinnski 9y agoYour toilet is definitely broken. This is not a regulation problem. Seriously, that is not normal behavior for a new toilet.
- Izkata 9y agoIt is normal behavior. The low-flow toilets seem to have been built assuming all waste is sitting at the bottom, but toilet paper can be held floating at the top due to surface tension. The first flush breaks that, then the second flush gets rid of it.
- atomical 9y agoBubble removal. That's a new one.
- patentatt 9y agoDo you really think all toilets work this way? Like, everyone else in the entire country has that same experience? You bought a shitty (pun intended) product, it has nothing to do with the boogeyman of ‘regultion.’
- TYPE_FASTER 9y agoWe've replaced two toilets in the last two years, no problems like this with either.
