A Comparison of Toilet Flushing Mechanisms Across Different Eras

The creator systematically demonstrates the flushing action of each unit, highlighting the differences in water volume and vortex patterns. The display showcases the evolution of plumbing technology and design, providing a surprisingly hypnotic look at the mechanics of household fixtures. By testing multiple units in a row, the video offers a unique perspective on how toilet engineering has changed over the last half-century.

Had a landlord that didn't want me to flush at night because it was disturbing the peace of whoever. Started peeing in a bottle and dumped the contents on his front yard. His garden won a prize that year. Win/win

7 gallons (26.5 liters) to flush a toilet? Holy damn, that's a lot of water.
