Professor Toilet 101

Hello, my name is Professor Toilet. Welcome to my online classroom. I am here to help you learn about the toilet and the science behind how it works. In Flushology, the syllabus is simple. The content here will help you understand:

1. The science (hydraulics) behind a really good flush.
2. The greening of toilet flushing
3. How to fix problems when the laws of physics are over-ruled by a poorly engineered toilet that results in clogging, leaking, ghost flushing and other stress-inducing symptoms.

Browse the site, educate yourself and happy flushing.

    Flushology: 1,000 Grams Equals?

    The best flushing toilets have been independently tested to take down 1,000 grams of solid waste on just 1.6 gallons of water.

    How much is 1,000 grams?  It is equal to 2.2 pounds.

    How much is 2.2 pounds? It is equal to:
    *    Two 16 oz steaks
    *    Eight quarter-pound hamburgers
    *    66.6 chicken nuggets
    *    The difference between zipping your jeans standing up and lying down
    *    Probably more than your current toilet can flush without clogging
    *    Way more than you will ever “output” in a single visit to the toilet, no matter what you did last night

    The test is called Maximum Performance Testing or the MaP test.  Download a free copy of the latest MaP test from by John Koehler and Veritec Consulting and see how many grams your toilet can flush cleanly and completely.
