Nowadays, in order to save water, some elderly people will accumulate domestic water such as vegetable washing water, laundry water, bath water, and even mopping sewage, and then use it to flush the toilet.
They feel that this saves water and keeps the toilet clean.
In fact, this is very unscientific, not only does not achieve the purpose of saving water, but will bring a lot of hidden dangers to the toilet.
Today, Sister Li will share with you why "pouring water and flushing the toilet" is not recommended, and how we should use the toilet correctly to make life safer and more comfortable.
1. Dirty water needs to be discarded and should not be used to flush toilets
We all know that domestic water contains a lot of dirt, such as grease, bacteria, dust, hair, etc., if these things are used to flush the toilet, not only will pollute the toilet, but also easily clog the toilet drain.
This will bring a lot of trouble to our lives, and if the domestic water is left for too long, it will also breed bacteria, produce odors, and affect our respiratory health.
Therefore, we should dispose of the domestic water in time and not use it to flush the toilet.
Otherwise, the toilet is clogged, and the cost of unclogging the toilet can be much more expensive than the water bill, and the gains outweigh the losses.
2. Flushing the toilet with less water can lead to clogging
The design of the toilet has certain scientific principles, and its flushing volume and flushing force are carefully calculated to ensure the cleanliness of the toilet and smooth drainage.
If we pour the water from the bucket into the toilet ourselves, it is likely that we will not be able to flush the toilet clean due to insufficient water consumption.
Or because of excessive water consumption, flushing the toilet valve and affecting the normal operation of the toilet.
Moreover, pouring water into the toilet with a bucket or kettle can easily cause splashing and making the wet surface dangerous.
Therefore, usually use the buttons or levers that come with the toilet to flush the toilet after going to the toilet, and don't pour water to flush the toilet yourself.
3. Reduce the water storage capacity of the toilet bowl and cause odors
We should note that the toilet tank has a certain amount of water storage, which can ensure that there is enough water for each flush of the toilet.
At the same time, it can also keep the water seal of the toilet bowl to prevent the odor in the toilet from flowing backwards into the room and affecting our respiratory health.
If we pour water to flush the toilet ourselves, it is likely to cause the water volume of the toilet tank to decrease, break the water seal of the toilet, and cause the odor of the toilet. Therefore, we should keep the water tank of the toilet and do not pour water to flush the toilet ourselves.
4. How to use the size button on the toilet
You can take a look at the toilet in your own home, and there are two buttons on the water tank.
In fact, there is a difference between these two buttons, they are designed according to different flushing needs, which can help us save water and at the same time ensure the cleanliness of the toilet.
Generally speaking, the small button on the toilet is used to flush urine, and its flushing volume is relatively small, about 3 liters, which can flush away the urine and save water at the same time.
The big button on the toilet is used to flush feces, and it has a relatively large flushing volume, about 6 liters, which can ensure the cleanliness of the toilet bowl and prevent clogging.
So, after going to the toilet, you can use these two designed size buttons. According to different flushing needs, choose the appropriate button, do not press it randomly, wasting water.
In this way, you can save water and not be afraid of wasting water.
After reading the above, do you think that the toilet is actually a very knowledgeable thing?
Not only does it make our lives more convenient, but it is also more beneficial to our bodies. Don't dump water down the toilet again.
