How many times do you flush?

Consider the Ford Pinto. They could have done that better, too. I'm sorry nothing better has come along yet, but something will.

I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a Pinto: "Keep your distance. Pintos explode!"

So i am told when handled correctly

Ok, now for the serious stuff, i asked the family how many times they flush, after some confusion and replies of "every time i use the toilet" i cleared up the question, the consensus is once except the rare occasion when not everything was flushed away, then its twice.

Upstairs we have low water use toilets, downstairs is an old style one with a couple of bricks in the cistern.

Hint. For older toilets put a brick or two or plastic bottles filled with water into the cistern. Or purchase a tank bag and pay for the privilege of reducing water use.

A minor personal factoid: at home the answer is one the vast majority of the time. The remaining small amount requires a plunger. Where I volunteer, it's all the time - a modern "whoosh" takes care of any and all deposits. Some places there's a single or double way to flush. Using the "double" where indicated takes care of the remains all the time.

Perhaps in the future we will be recycling most of our own water, via filtration units, and fresh water will cost an arm and a leg - and rationed.

Still suits...like the Fremen wear...

The spice must flow.

Our Esteemed President is concerned that we're all flushing 10-15 times due to the Dastardly Democratic insistence on low flow toilets. He wants to save us. So, denizens of RF, how about it? Do you need saving?

I have only one opportunity to flush and I am saving that for November, 2020. Unless our elected plumbers clear the clog before then.
