Low Flow Toilets Are Crappy Says Nomad !

Donâ€™t let a bunch of elitist, infrastructure-obsessed, organic-tofu-eating whale-saving, opera-listening, earth-tone-wearing PBS viewers set the election agenda for you, â€œLetâ€™s start a movement, voters!

FLUSH OUT THE ISSUES

In new homes, chronic problems with toilets typically flow downhill, and complaints eventually reach the builder. An NAHB Research Center survey of builders, property managers, and homeowners last year found that â€œbuilder reported they receive more callbacks on low-flow toilets than anything else.â€ Homeowners blame builders for using inferior products or failing to supply adequate water pressure. A majority of all survey respondents said they had experienced problems with low-flow toilets in the last 12 months.

What happened? Did the entire building and remodeling industry embrace a product with the reliability of a Pontiac Fiero? Bring on the lawyers, the media, the John Grisham novels.

John Grisham novel??

i thought Howard Stern would be a better choice for a novel about the

Un-Flushable.

Nomad, your face is a little bit FLUSHED! Are you going to blow a GASKET? Take a SEAT!

Why can't Americans manufacture an efficient, water-saving, dual flush toilet? People all over the world have them....why can't we?

If I'm not mistaken, low-flow toilets are a result of environmental regs from the federal government. I read an article not long ago about consumers evacuating American hardware stores in favor of passing into Canada to buy more powerful or at least regular thrones. I don't have time (not sure if my punctuation here should be a comma or a colon) but if someone wants to search the bowels of the internet I'm sure this could be verified.

I just wanna say that nothing gets my bowels in an uproar more than having to flush 3 times to get a simple Kleenex to go away! HUMPH!

Ok I wasnt expecting this and its throwing me off my game. But really if you have to flush twice wheres the savings ?

Not to mention the plunging factor !

Nomad I'm with on this big guy they are useless. I spend more time plunging that anyone should have to.. I fixed it myself I turned the pressure up at the valve damit I refuse to flush twice just to get the paper to go down.. :-5 :-5

The other usless water saver is the low flow shower head... took care of that one as well, management put one one, I took the damn thing off..:rolleyes:

There's a new Australian movie out called "Kenny". Here's the official website.

http://www.kennythemovie.com/

It's one of the finest movies I've seen lately. And the lead character hires out, and services, portable conveniences (or dunnies as we call them in these parts). Grin. Portapotties in the US, I think.

I am aware that the aussie sense of humour is, well, different - but do hope some of you durned furners get to see the movie. You'll cack yourselves laughing.

Thanks Hamster!! Guess they're Portaloos in the UK ?? Grin. Seriously, it's a fun movie though.

Talk to me muka muka poo ! The shower is covered. Whats this about the terlet valve now ?

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 7:02 pm

Nomie I don't have a state of art toilet but most have valves going into the tank and they can be opened more to increase the water pressure to the tank.. it work on my terlet. there is also a valve in the actual appratus inside the tank that can be taken off to increase pressure..
