Actually, my can flushes counterclockwise, but it really doesn't matter. The lever is just there to lift a chain that lift a rubber tab that opens to draw the water out, with it repenishing the water while or upon closing.

AnswerIt is called the "Coreolis Affect". North of the Equator, the water flushes counter-clockwise, so south of the Equator, the water flushes clockwise.

The coreolis affect does not apply to why the toilet flushes counter-clockwise. toilets have grooved holes that forces water to spiral to the bottom. this increases the flush force. earth's rotation creates the coreolis affect on weather patterns, etc.

Why does the toliet water flush the oppoiste way in Mexico?

If you are above the equator, they flush clockwise. If you live below the equator, they flush counter clockwise. This is because of the Coriolis effect and the direction seawater flows in the ocean. Likewise to the toilet, the oceanwater travels in a clockwise pattern above the equator, and a counter clockwise pattern below the equator.


Do toilets flush clockwise?

Not necessarily. The direction in which toilets flush is determined by the design of the toilet and the water flow, not by the hemisphere you are in. The Coriolis effect influences large-scale systems such as hurricanes and ocean currents, but it is too weak to affect the direction of toilet flushes.
