Regular readers might remember the toilet-flushing video from March that showed ridiculous quantities of carrots, chess pieces, Gummi bears, hot dogs, plastic letters and numbers, grapes, golf balls, and dog food getting flushed. Fun, but it didn't qualify for GreenSpec because it only met the federal minimum standard for water use.
Well, here's one that does. The H2Option Dual-Flush from American Standard offers an industry-first siphonic flush of either 1.6 or 1.0 gallons. And it's fun, too. Be sure to show this to the kids (because they don't already have enough ideas).
- 20 golf balls (full flush)
- 1 lb orange peels (full flush)
- 11 water wigglers (full flush)
- 56 chicken nuggets (full flush)
- 2 lbs flushable cat litter (full flush)
- 5 large hot dogs (full flush)
- 5 large hot dogs (half flush)
Wieners aside, it would have been nice to see how all of these went down — or not — on half-flush.
