Does flushing a toilet with the lid up cause a plume of bacteria to be shot into the air?
Unfortunately, yes, it does. The water holds all the bacteria from all the buissness that people make on your toilet. So it is better to close the toilet seat when you flush!
Why does Air come from the siphon when i flush the toilet?
Because the passageways in the toilet that carry the water from the tank to the bowl are, umm, 'full of air' (for lack of a better term). The water rushes from the tank into the bowl to flush, but all the air is in the way, so you see some come out of the siphon. That's as simple as I can make it.
What is causing a Large air bubble when flushing toilet?
there are large air bubbles in your toilet because your pipes are to thin or are cloged deep into the pipe. if its clogged poor sour milk down your toilet and flush it will desolve what ever is cloging it
Why do all of these small air bubbles like an Alkaselzter tablet keep flowing into the toilet after I flush it?
Small air bubbles in the toilet after you flush could indicate a clog. The clog may not yet be big enough to stop the toilet from flushing but you should take care of it before it gets worse. You should get an auger to clear the clog.
Which one is the best flush available in Indian market for the air block problems?
A tank-style toilet with a siphon flush valve will likely do the job just fine.
Why when you flush a toilet on the main floor an air pocket comes into the bowl in the basement toilet?
This could be an indication of a blockage or you may need to install more venting lines.
Plumber problems the drain makes gurgling sounds when you flush the toilet and the water goes down in the toilet when the other toilet gets flushed?
either the vert is plugged and there is no air getting through or there is no vent at all
Is it true that when you flush your toilet it shoots into the air 7ft?
No, when the toilet flushs, it sucks everything in. It will then be calmly lead into the sea. Not shooted. In any way. Where the f*ck did you hear that anyway?
When flushed the toilet on the ground floor gives out a burst of air and then will not flush the water away how can this be fixed?
Install a proper vent
Iwant to install toilet in your workshop do you have to vent the pipe?
A toilet has to be vented otherwise you are trying to force liquid against the air in the drain and it is pulling against a vacuum. It will never flush right.
Could garter snake die when you flush down the toilet?
Yes. It almost certainly will. Snakes need to breathe air in order to survive. A snake flushed down a toilet will almost certainly drown.
How is a toilet sanitary?
A toilet maintains its sanitary condition by means of a water seal- -the clean water at the bottom of the bowl keeps odors away and bacteria at an acceptable level. The water stays in the bowl because a toilet has a trap like all other fixtures. The trap is visible on some toilets and the link below shows the basic design of the toilet. When water is released into the bowl (when the flush handle is activated) the water and all material in the bowl "overflow" out of the trap and create a siphon. The siphon pulls all of the water out of the bowl and then is broken when it sucks air (that gurgling sound after you flush.) Current law mandates the following conditions.1- Toilet must be made of smooth impervious material.2- Toilet must have acid resistant finish.3- Toilet must flush with 1.6 Gallons per flush or less.4- Toilet must have a non mechanical seal5- Toilet must evacuate at least 95% of the water (objectionable material) every flushhttp://www.homerepairforum.com/images/uploads/2005-9-10_Toilet_Bowl_FLUSH_STEP_1_w550.JPG
