@mgcasella it's not mdf. looks like particle board though. and the rest was obviously for a demonstration. he's not going to upload a video of him actually peeing...
@kfaslf yes but you have to flush your toilet also, this just allows you to use the same water for two different things. You pay for it but get more usage, so its free in that sense.
it is turning water that would normally go into the bowl anyway, into greywater...
the only hygiene note here is the the old mythbusters poop particle tooth brush test. havin the sink that close to the flushing bowl might have some increased "contaminant" transfer. but really, bacteria are everywhere. i like the idea
@TheiRenaissance But that is not the only sink in the bathroom..that one is only used for when your done using the toilet. The idea is that you have another sink in the bathroom, but you just use that one for washing hands.
i fail to see how this saves water, As say you have a 5 litre cistern, it wont stop filling untill it reaches the 5l mark, as some of the cold inlet is being diverted to the makeshift spout (say, 1L over the fill cycle.) it will have a total water input of 6L during the fill cycle as the extra litre goes down the bowl anyway.
Correct me if i am wrong as most toilet syphons are slightly different over here in the UK.
@TerrorTrooperM The only water you lose is the bit that remains on your hands and the water you drink. The rest goes straight to filling the toilet I think.
Haha That is one of the best ideas i have seen, great invention. Love when you drink from the pipe hehe, naturaly looked discusting. But like the others say "same as the water in the kitchen'.
that is the source water that is used to fill the bowl, meaning it's the same water in the pipes that would come out the sink. He's drinking it before it's toilet water.
it's not toilet water yet; take a minute to learn how it works & you'll find he beat the system by thinking outside of the box - the 'faucet' is using the CLEAN water that will refill the toilet after it is flushed
You only pay for the water when you flush the toilet with that tool. On the other hand, if you don't use that too, you'd be paying for flushing the toilet AND washing your hands in the sink...
The hot water at a safe temperature can't kill bacteria(It has to be above 150F(65C) to kill germs), but hot water helps the soap wash off the dirt and oils on your skin. The simple work around with cold water is to using a liquid soap or a foaming soap.
yes you got that right... this is a bad idea cuz in alot of parts of several countrys they use rainwater for it... only cleaned out a bit to make it look fresh and noi smell ;)
oh i see wot u done u hv got the inside of the tolilet the get mroe water into the bowl nd then put it tho a pip nd bk in bowl then down the toilet lol
Great idea, I have so many problems with this video but I wont go into them, only the problems concerning the sink... GREAT IDEA...really, BUT it looks like such a big inconvenience having to lean over and use such a small sink, why not walk 2 feet if that to use a normal sink?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Have fun when the soap corrodes the rubber stopper in the toilet and you have to replace it. Strange chemicals inside the toilet reservoir invalidate the warranty. Have fun with this useless invention folks.
Once again.... Someone has to rain on the parade! Although this may seem to be a crazy way to conserve water, it is a pretty good concept. I applade your creativity. The world needs more crazy ideas like this with a bit of fine tuning to better the future. Thumbs up!
This is the best idea i have seen in my life, seriously, i can do it at home. I will try, but i wont to remove my usual sink, i`ll try to sinсhronizе it with my toilet. Thanks a lot for instructables!

I'm too distracted by the beginning:
1. It didn't look like he wiped anything with the toilet paper - so what was that for?
2. It was obvious he was wearing his pants on the toilet, yet I could hear him zip up his fly - does this mean he was peeing while sitting down?
3. The MDF board makes the bathroom look trashy.
All in all, however, this is a great idea!

yah but u are not wasting clean water on your toilet asshole
thats the idea
Afro3200 2 years ago
The point is that you used the water once for free. So, in a way, you get a bit of free water.
Otherwise, you'd be paying to wash your hands in the sink while the toilet refilled.
The water he drank, however wasn't free. lol

With this design the water goes directly into the overflow tube into the bowl, therefore never touching the reservoir.
