Ah, Water Efficient Toilets, my favourite topic on my infrequent forays into misc.consumers.house. >>>>> On 6 Mar 91 11:11:45 GMT, frisbie@flying-disk.com (Alan Frisbie) said: Alan> o Occasionally requires two flushes to completely clear the bowl. Alan> This has happened twice in the last three weeks. No Bu*sh*. Get used to it, or change your pooing habits. Often times a guest will unwittingly set a trap for you in your Poopmaster Junior model toilet: They flush; all seems well... perhaps the bowl water is little low, hiding the terror to come. You go in, how you say, lay a loaf, plop a wad, brownulate, I don't know, I'm just an artificial intelligence netnews answering program, and don't do those kind of things. Perhaps you just take a whiz. Come flushing time, and you watch in terror as the water rises higher and higher ... Do you A. reach for a plunger? B. Rip the tank lid off and stop that water flow? Answer: B, before it's Niagara Falls time. Your guest had deposited an "obstruction" just beyond the curve of visibility... booby trapping the next sucker. That's life with water saver toilets. Perhaps you should set up a coin box next to the toilet for donations for carpet clean up after Niagara incidents. -- Dan_Jacobson@ATT.COM Naperville IL USA +1 708 979 6364
