3 to 4 gallons.
They want to reduce this to about 1.3 gal.
Depends on if it needed to be flushed or not.
1.6 - 3.5 gpf
Sadly, yes they can! The toilet is much bigger then them and they can fall in their poopy water and drown. If they get flushed down who knows where they go! maybe out the plane!
a lg piece of chicken was dumped in the toilet and flushed. now have clogged toilet. someone recommended putting vinegar in the toilet. will it dissolve the chicken and how much to use and how long will it take
An old style (pre 1990) toilet uses 13.5 litres. The newer 'low flush' toilets use 6 litres or less.
Generally, modern toilets are required to be low flow, which is 1.6 gallons (6L) per flush. Older toilets were 3 gpf (11L). Modern toilets vary in the amount of water required to flush them, from 6L to 3L. Some have a dual flush system allowing solids (faeces) to be flushed with a full volume flush, say of 6 or 4.5L, and liquids (urine) to be flushed with a smaller volume flush of about 3L. It is not possible to flush properly a toilet with less water than that with which it was designed to be flushed. Low volume flush toilets have been designed to work efficiently with a smaller volume of water.
25 PPM then flushed out properly
No. the average toilet used is mechanical and uses gravity to flush. e parts need to be in p-top shape hen the Toilet Gets Flushed e easiest way to see how the whole system orks together is to flush the toilet with the lid f. That still leaves the question of how it al nctions. It is actually pretty simple. the flush lever to rise up pulling the chain with it which makes water rush down into the bowl evel lowers enough that it drops back down over the flush valve the refill valve and allows new water into the tank. Th water is coming in much more slowly than the water going out so it doesn't interfere with the flapper
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.
alone on average an american flushes down the toilet about 5 liters of water. so imagine how much things like showers or even brushing your teeth can waste.
There is an air pocket in one of your pipes, or you could have a small clog. I had the same problem and live in Canada so I got Roto Rooter up to clean out my pipes. It didn't cost that much.
First thing you should do is call a plumber. Drain lines are not supposed to leak. Your drain line is clogged and needs to be snaked out and the leaking pipe repaired.
