Can iron in well water effect flushing power in toilets?

Generically this is known as sewage. Grey water (contaminated water from sinks and baths) can be reused for purposes like flushing toilets. Water from flushing toilets is "black" water and is sent off for treatment.

'cause water is going though them

It's the water going through the pipes.

Yes, but not in the way we think of flushing toilets. In private houses, a bucket or two of water was used to flush away the waste and prevent odor. In the public latrines, there was a stream of running water beneath the seats to flush away waste.

so that you have a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets.

You could have a venting issue with your venting system, or a blockage with your main line. Your toilets dump alot of water all at once. Try to visualize all that water hitting a closed bubble of air in the pipes--that is why they could all be flushing oddly.

The Minoans invented the first flushing toilets among many other things. Information about the first modern-day flushing toilets: The first patent for a flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775, sixty years before Thomas Crapper was born. Crapper was awarded 9 patents during his lifetime, 3 of them for improvements to the flushing water closet, but the true inventor was Alexander Cummings. Also, Sir John Harrington had invented a water closet in 1596…

5.0 gallons of water are used when flushing a toilet. << nope nice guess Older toilets 3.5 GPF newer toilets 1.6 GPF

Yes, but not in the way we think of flushing toilets. In private houses, a bucket or two of water was used to flush away the waste and prevent odor. In the public toilets latrines, there was a stream of running water beneath the seats to flush away waste.

It definitely means you don't have to pour a bucket of water down the latrine, and it smells much better.

Agriculture and industry use more water than drinking and cooking , energy and flushing toilets.

let your sump pump, pump the water into rain barrels and use the water for plants, washing clothes, or even flushing your toilets.

There are hundreds of gallons of water wasted every minute. Water is wasted by leaving the faucet running, taking long showers, and flushing toilets when unnecessary.

I have heard that sometimes certain toilets under certain conditions can cause siphoning of water from the bowl of other toilets. Of course, that would require you to have two toilets on premises. If so, check the Cadet water level before and after flushing the non-Cadet toilet. Good Luck

It depends on the flushing system you have. Here there are 2 toilets, one spins clockwise, the other one counterclockwise.

An older toilet can use approximately 5 gallons, I believe. But now the lower flush toilets use 1.6 gallons.

The newer toilets are 'going green.' They are being designed so that less water is used for flushing, conserving water. If it is turning green in color, you should probably clean it better.

it was because of a 2 valve flushing system on some toilets. #1 was a minor flush #2 opened both water flapper valves in order to maximize the flush:)

It has been said that some flush toilets existed around 25 B.C., so it's possible. Bear in mind 'flushing' just means adding more water from a different source than the drain to move the night soil out.

On average, 9,239,845,561 gallons of water are used per day flushing toilets; On most toilets, 1.6 gallons are used every flush; 9239845561/1.6=5774903475.625 flushes per day There are 86400 seconds in a day 5774903475.625/86400=66839.16 flushes per second around 66,839 flushes per second

If the electricity for the water power plant goes out, water cannot be pumped to your toilet for flushing.

you most definitely have a clog in your line.your toilet and bathtub are both draining in the same spot so if your flushing the toilet and there is a clog the water is most likely going to fill in the tub

Yes, but not in the way we have them in the present day. In private homes, they used the old bucket system. In the public latrines, they had a constant stream of running water to carry away waste.

a toilet cistern holds 3216 Most modern toilets will hold about 20 litres, but they are being made smaller all the time due to better flushing designs and the need to conserve water. Toilets can all be adjusted internally on the fill valve to hold less water. The new recommended flush amounts in many countries is 13 or 6.5 litres.

Water swirls clockwise in toilets in the northern hemisphere. Toilets in the southern hemisphere (below the equator) swirl counter clockwise. The reason for this is the "Coriolis effect."

The first flushing toilet was invented and made for the queen of England (I'm not sure which one) by Thomas Crapper. He was later knighted to Sir Thomas Crapper. Actually, ancient Greeks and Romans had flushing toilets (albeit somewhat crude and way ahead of its time) and running water as early as the 1st century AD. they were made of stone or wood and many were communal. Sorry I was't more specific, The first flushing…

Flushing a toilet uses the water contained in the toilet tank.

Toilets in modern Rome are like all modern toilets. The modern flushing toilet with an S- bend was first patented by Alexander Cummings in 1775 and the first toilet with a U-bend was patented by Tomas Crapper in 1880. The toilets of ancient Rome were totally different. They were communal and could be in rooms without partitions or outdoors. An outdoors toilet found at Ostia (Rome's port) had three walls and the fourth side was…

It will be exaclty the same, the only difference is that flushing the toilet with bottled water is very expense. It really will be a waste of money.

explain how using a lot of disinfectant to clean toilets could have an effect on sewage treatment

Elongated toilets have a more comfortable seating area and if you are a large person, elongated toilets provide more room for your body. Their large water surface area enables users to flush with more power and with minimum water usage.

25% of A households water usage is used flushing the toilet.

Hearing water flowing after flushing is a common as water flows down the soil lines

Well start by turning on the electricity, then turn on main water valves, turn on all sink, tub, toilet faucets and let water run until air is bled from system. Check system for leaks. Should be good to go after flushing toilets to remove anti-freeze from the bowls.

The toilets refill because water is leaking past the flapper. In your case, you are running some water or turning water off right when the toilets are ready to refill and your action "jiggles" the ballcock to start. The toilets are also refilling at other times but you have not noticed yet. Get them repaired.

Depending on the local codes, there are a number of things to try. 1. Grey water can be used for flushing toilets. The toilet does not need potable water. However, you don't want grey water to age and ferment. 2. Grey water can also be used for irrigation of plants that are not eaten by humans nor livestock. 3. There are alternative toilet arrangements such as composting toilets and incinerator toilets. The compost produced should…

All water is naturally recycled and purified through the water cycle. Cities that do not receive enough rainfall purify their waste water to use it again instead of letting it go into waterways. There are different levels of purification, so some water is cleaned enough to be used for gardens and flushing toilets, other water is purified enough to drink. This is a good thing to do.

you say, You have two toilets,,, Water everywhere in house, Except the two toilets? Contact me in my personal message board, Give more details

You should not be clogging the toilet at all. It could happen for a few reasons! Maybe you are using to much toilet paper. If not then there is something going on in the toilets! Other reasons could be that you are not flushing the toilet often enough. When having a bowel movement, it helps keep the toilet from becoming too full if you flush it several times. Newer, water saving toilets may also need…

water currents are used for filtering water and for geberating power

Toilets that bubble when flushed and drain slowly can be cause by different things, such as port holes that are clogged, a clogged drain line, the tank has a low water level, or a problem in the vent pipe. A plumber can check for the specific problem and fix it.

Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The Coriolis effect is the reason why hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.

Significant improvements in the infrastructure for the carrying of water would be useful as there are currently significant losses from leaks in water mains etc (a bit like trying to carry water from a well to your house in a bucket with a hole in it - this is less than efficient!). Further to this, improvements in the collection and use of rainwater and "grey water" which can be used for (by way of example)…

from toilets

depends what type of toilet u have, newer toilets use less water than older toilets

Modern toilets use 1.5 gallons of water per flush, older models can be as high as three gallons per flush. How much you'll save depends on the water charges in your area. Just remember that the sewer fees are usually twice the water usage amount, so the savings can be huge.

low flush toilets use less water.

Africa is a continent, with many countries in it. Some of the countries have large cities, with very nice houses and apartments which have hot and cold running water and flushing toilets too. There are also slums with no water at all There are also people away from the cities who live in grass huts and mud huts, as they have lived for thousands of years. These people have no water at home and have…
