The toilet from St. Thomas Creations in the video below doesn't qualify for GreenSpec — it's a 1.6gpf toilet (the federal minimum), and GreenSpec requires 1.28gpf or less — but it sure is fun to watch it flush stuff. (More fun than miso in condoms, anyway.)
What do I mean by "flush stuff"?
- 2.5 pounds of carrots
- 4 complete sets of plastic chess pieces
- 3 pounds of large Gummi bears
- 18 large hot dogs
- 78 plastic letters and numbers
- 3.5 pounds of grapes
- 20 golf balls
- 3.5 pounds of dog food

A minor correction: 1.6 gallons per flush is the Federal maximum, not the Federal minimum.

Thank you, you're absolutely right. I think I may have been going for "federal minimum standard" but didn't quite make it. (Folks, learn more about the things Martin learns about at http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/gre... )
