Consumer skeptisism; the biggest hurdle for new toilet standards.

Are you aware that the sewer pipes are clogging, because of this bright idea of using less water to flush toilets? How about doing a demonstration using simulated diarrhea ? I'll bet a large quantity of the stool will not flush.

It's not the paper, really. Within moments, toilet paper is designed to break up into tiny flakes which easily pass around most clogged material. Note that the objects used in this demonstration are slippery, flexible and smooth and of a consistent size. So, let's talk frankly, here. Most clogs really come from the fact that real human fecal matter can consist of segments of many different sizes, textures and firmness, and may have a sticky or gummy consistency. That's the true cause!

I work at a college and the most common cause of a toilet clog is overuse of toilet paper. Even as young adults That is a habit that some have difficulty breaking. The earlier you can teach them what is "enough" the better.

@AquaProSolutions

I want a new toilet!

[AquaProSolutions]

@p4gibson a better option may be to " convert" your current toilet to a DualFlush. Saves water, minimizes burdens on our landfills, save resources. Thanks Got the comment.

Fine showmanship but one question I always have with these demos is where is the gobs of toilet paper that my sons add. It's the combination of the two that seems to cause the most problems.

Fine demonstration. My toilet also ends up in a box, no pipes between.

Wake up, sometimes it's a long tramp.
