* In the US approximately 40% of all domestic water consumed is flushed down the toilet. * an old-style single flush toilet can use up to 5.5 gallons (20 liters) of water in one flush, whereas more water efficient dual flush toilets average less than 1 gallon (4 liters) * replacing a traditional single flush toilet with a water efficient dual flush toilet saves about 21 gallons (80 liters) per person per day.
That very much depends on on the tank, and the year your toilet was manufactured.
Some high-efficiency or "low-flow" toilets can use in the area of 1 1/4 gallons per flush; older toilets can use several gallons. (As of November 2009 you can get a 1.28 GPF toilet for about $100 in the southeast USA.)
If you don't have any other way of finding out:
The amount of water is variable. It depends on the position of the ball-cock float, and the arm that presses against the rubber disk to stop the flow. Some people may place a house brick in the cistern to reduce the amount of water.
depends what type of toilet u have, newer toilets use less water than older toilets
1.6 gallons to 3.5 gallons depending on age of the toilet.
An older toilet can use approximately 5 gallons, I believe. But now the lower flush toilets use 1.6 gallons.
Around 9 litres
Each flush of a toilet uses the same amount of water.
to use less water when flushing
It helps to keep your body flushing toxins out of your system, by making you use the toilet more.
You can get rid of maggots in a RV toilet by flushing them down. You can also use bleach to kill the maggots.
Don't you think you should at least say if the toilet is 3.5 GPF or 1.6 GPF=Figure no less then 2,100 gallons=Don't you think you should at least say if the toilet is 3.5 GPF or 1.6 GPF=Figure no less then 2,100 gallons=
If the toilet works each time on one flush, they use roughly half the water of a standard toilet. You would then use half as much a month on the toilet. They do not always flush completely on the first flush and the toilet is only a part of the water bill.
Depending on the toilet, between 1 and 5 gallons.
Yes, it will use about a pint less water with each flush, but you have to be sure the brick does not obstruct the flushing mechanism or you may be running water constantly - wasting a lot more than you are saving.
industrial water has chemicals in it and even after it has been treated it is inadvisable to use it because it contains so many chemicals that cannot be removed from it
He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.
The problem here is one of two problems, or both, depending on the installation of your toilet. One. The flushing rubber inside the toilet cystern on the bottom is now old and perishing and needs to be replaced. Two. Certain toilet cystern installations allow for the inlet over flow to flow into the pan of the toilet and not to the outside, thus causing the toilet to seem as though its constantly flushing, this also has a rubber inside of it and needs to be replaced. Check and make sure that the handle of the toilet is not sticky, it has been known that a sticky toilet handle (probably because the back nut is too tight) wont go down, therefore not allowing the flushing rubber to go back onto its seat to stop the water running into the pan.
It takes 1 bucket of water when we flush.
