As a member of the anti-double flush committee - a toilet is no good unless it can flush 12 golf balls at once.

I'm curious how you and/or your committee came up with 12 golf balls as a reference for toilet flushing efficiency.

There's an ad about flushing a bucket of golf balls.

Ah, I see. I don't watch TV so I missed the reference.

1MOREMOD · 07-17-2021, 08:11 AM

I have never seen it but oddly this same thing came up at work. Think its like lowes or home depot advertising the bucket of balls thing.

LOL the guy that built my house put all three of them as this model. I can attest they do flush like a banshee. But that internal mechanism is a total POS. As they gradually went bad I replaced them with the recall part that's basically a huge flapper like the old ones use. but that huge hole does get the water into the bowl instantly and still works phenomenal.

I'm gonna get one as a challenge for myself.

That's where I know it from...not sure why they came up with golf balls.

Oddly, though I made the comment, I've never seen that video either - just the signs

TiMSport · 07-17-2021, 03:19 PM

All I can say is that if your shit is equivalent to a bucket of golf balls, you probably should lay off the red meat.

Kohler's AquaPiston flush system is great even though it probably can't flush 12 golf balls. It has yet to get backed up even once in the 2 years or so I've had them so far.

RelaxIN2 · 07-17-2021, 03:51 PM

I have 3 of those toilets' in my house as well..!! When you flush those suckers, it feels like the whole house shakes...

No clogging problems so far, but the wife keeps giving it a good test..

"the wife".... lol.
By the way, the last thing I want is a freaking toilet that shakes the house, especially if someone flushes it during the middle of the night.

TiMSport · 07-17-2021, 04:05 PM

Question is whether that power toilet can handle Randy.

No toilet can handle Randy Marsh on full power.

The piping in north america is WAY too small. Everyone I know has had clogging issues, i swear the pipes are half the size they are in OZ.

The difference is that North America uses siphonic toilets, whereas Europe and other areas use washdown toilets:

The benefits/pitfalls to both designs (ie, skid marks) are described here:

Alfisti · 07-22-2021, 11:58 AM

There's not enough flush either, at home the water comes in from all sides, crashing and making a general rukus. Here it's like a gulping sound, not a lot of washing machine so to speak, it's fucking weird.

TiMSport · 07-22-2021, 08:44 PM

Kohler toilets with AquaPiston flush system will almost never get backed up and it uses a siphonic design.

Washdown's "pitfalls" are mostly bullshit there. It's WAY easier to clean a toilet ("hands-free": just apply a dedicated chemical from the bottle, no rubbing) than to de-clog one! When in US I had to discard used toilet paper as dry garbage (I felt guilty!) instead of just flushing it down.

Great find at a garage sale. Bought two practically new bikes for $50 (!)
An older couple were selling their house and moving into a condo and were getting rid of a lot of possessions for cheap. When they bought the bikes a few years back, they had a lot of good intentions of riding etc... But the bikes remained unused in their garage.

I'm keeping one for use on my trainer after I fit a road tire in the back for a smoother ride. ( That was annoying with my TREK.) And gave the other one to a young 15 yrs old girl who's mother is a patient of mine. They are not well off and this was her very first bicycle. She cried, I cried. We all cried.
