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.

Bathroom Blogfest 09: Flushing this economy will take more than the average toilet
This post is part of Bathroom Blogfest 09. Professor Toilet is proud to be one of 21 bloggers invited to participate in this third annual event, celebrating all aspects of bathrooms. This year’s Bathroom Blogfest theme is “Flush the Recession and Plunge Into Forgotten Spaces.”
MaP Your Way Around Clogged Toilets
To flush the likes of this economy, it takes a high performance toilet, independently tested to remove at least 1,000 grams of solid waste on just 1.6 gallons of water or less.
That’s more than 2.2 pounds of stuff you really do not want to be plunging.
Maximum Performance Testing (MaP) is an independent report of toilet flushing performance developed by John Koehler and Veritec Consulting. The 15th edition was just published last week, available free through the Alliance for Water Efficiency.
The EPA requires that WaterSense labeled toilets be able to flush a minimum of 350 grams in the MaP test. At present, MaP test is the main, if not only, independently recognized test designed to gauge this rather important parameter.
