Is the low-flow toilet the most stupid invention in the history of mankind?

I’d say there is a valid argument to be made that it is. How are you saving water when you have to flush at least twice or even three of four times?!?

Low flow shower head is even worse

Yeah 3 flushes 4 for spite

Yes. I lived in an apartment while in grad school that had low flush toilets. They were always getting stopped up and the plumber charged 80 bucks to unstop them. I bought a toilet auger and let folks know that I would do it for 50. I made a lot of money.

I believe Edder Vedder said it best:

Yep. I might by a couple of old maytags and put them in storage.

I used to think so, but I was in a hotel with the old kind this week and I realized I like the newer kind better. They just seem faster and safer to me, and they work better than I expected.

Subtle way of saying you are full of shite.

I will never move nor stay somewhere if I found out they had these. I can say I have never even seen one before.

My house is pretty new, and I never have issues with flushing. I think you need to review how much TP you are wasting with your shits. If you are flushing 3-4 times after a shite, the problem isn't the toilet.

Not any more. Thus the thread about low-flow toilets sucking arse.

I don’t think you’re supposed to do that in the shower
Posted on 3/23/23 at 7:52 pm to Darth_Vader
They are terrible. I just picked up a real toilet. Probably uses three gallons a flush.
I have to install it.
Dropped one the other day that stuck straight up out of the bowl like an old cypress stump.
The low flow had a time with that thing.

Wait… what??

The worst is those gas cans with the the nozzle that's for safety and/or environmental purposes but actually causes far more gas spills than the old kind.
