1.6 GALLON FLUSH VIOLATES OUR RIGHTS!

It is true, the mandated 1.6 gallon per flush is a violation of your right to be free and make your own choices!!!!!!
I am a plumber and can tell you that 60% of the low flush model toilets are junk! I am also a union pipeliner, I have helped water up 2.8 miles of 24" pipe from a fire hydrant with the help of two honda trash pumps. What did we do with the potable water when we were done? we pushed it in to the storm sewer at 160PSI. Money talks and bullsnot walks if a man wants to flush his turd in ten gallons of water then he should be able to as long as his utility bill is paid.
on a side not you can usually tweak your low cap flush toilet to use approx two gallons by adjusting the float set screw or removing it completely. if you have an old 3 gallon flush toilet and wish to save a little money set a brick or two in your tank.

I see the makings of a great bumper sticker in there somewhere![:D]
not too mention that in many cases the "low flush" toilets require two (or more) flushes. So even at 2 you are using 3.2 gallons of water, which is more than the 3 gallon model.
If King of the Hill has taught me nothing else, and it hasn't, it shows that low flow toilets use more water than the regular hi flows.
hahaha
King of the Hill for the win!!!
Vote for Ron Paul and free your toilets!!
Why on earth do something simple like that???? if we did that we would render the "service" you provide null.

Agree, when you have to flush several times, uses more water. How about those Hospital commodes !KKAA- WWHHOOOOOOSSSHHH!!! Sounds like a dadburn jet engine, those babies got some pull !!
most likely a pressured bladder if it is a tank type. Kohler has a an AWESOME toilet I forget the name of it but they had one in the extended stay I was at in detroit a couple of years ago, man that thing would push a whole roll of TP down it and not even burp.

Is it glorious to take a crap? you back Ron Paul????? this is news to me! so you are saying that you're a nutcase too, who happens to believe in personal responsibility and freedom???
If that is what you are saying I may have to reevaluate my opinion of you not that it was ever bad [:I]
agree completely,

Sort of like the mandated winter fuel...you use quite a bit more. It makes no sense whatsever.

kristov was right! [:0]
I dont know who made the remark about, "people here say 1.6 gals a violation of rights" I just expanded on it because it is a violation of free choice. And I think it was P3Skyking who made the remark.
But yes it is a violation of free choice, you have NO IDEA the water that gets wasted everyday! I have seen a couple million gallons of potable water dumped in a storm drain, all in the name of oil.

Problem? You are talking to a bunch of guys on a web site where members have actually posted about feeling that low flush toilets infringe on their rights as Americans!

I am as anti-big government a person as you will ever meet. I want them out of my life. I want them out of my State, I want them out of my car, out of my bank account and off my lawn. I want them on a big ol' leash.
I am knee deep in governmental caca daily, maybe not literally like yourself, but caca just the same.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who really seems to want to do the hard things that can turn this country around.

You can have my BudLite
My low flow toilet works great. It's the dang low flow shower head that sucks.
Take the screen or guts out of it. Then they work fine.

CA has gotten wise to that. You can still remove the aerator but there seems to be another restrictor plate in the sealed part of the shower head.
I could not agree more. The gov't has absolutely NO FRIGGIN' business regulating what kind of toilets we can buy.

my old house has an 86 year old working toilet that takes 4.5 gal per flush. id like to see them pull it out of my house.
My grand parents had one of those in their house I told grandpa that if he ever wanted to leave me anything that is what I would want

Cool in winter, stinks so much in the summer a blind person can find it.
WORKS EVERY TIME. NEVER PLUGS UP!
