Been a plumber’s grandson, son, and a plumber myself for 69 years. Got three toilets- a 1940’s 5+ gallon flush in the basement, a late 50’s 3.5gallon or so upstairs, and a circa 2003 American/Standard Champion in the powder room that only uses 1.6 gallons per flush. The 1.6 tries to swallow your privates if you flush when still seated; I’ve seen some others that would choke on a tissue if given the chance. Please don’t flush the puffy paper. Toilets like to chew their food before they swallow.
I understand there is a black market in old toilets, with the new toilets in new houses getting replaced with old ones as soon as the building inspector is gone.

Found a way to deal with those “restricted flow” Toilets.
Go, flush the number 2, wipe while it’s re-filling, then flush again.
Have had hardly any back-up with this.

I’d hate to know what the X-18s were like

I guess the X-19 is otherwise exstinked.

Indeed, we must decrease our water usage. The fracking industry needs all there is to ‘spare’.

This artist seldom pays much attention to details, even such common ones.

The American Standard “Champion” is the best that you can get.

It would be really bad if were in San Frisco and you were caught flushing your dead goldfish down it.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If its broke but can be fixed don’t replace it!
