Title: save water Post by: Ross on January 14, 2008, 04:54:20 PM An easy way to save water is to wrap a brick in tin foil and put it in your toilet tank. Every time you flush, the bowl will fill that much less and you'll save a ton of water over time!
Title: Re: save water/ What about water efficient toilets? Post by: Nitanae on January 20, 2008, 07:08:47 PM This a great idea for older toilets, but what about new water saving toilets? I have thought of trying this but have wondered if it would still work.
Has anyone tried it on a newer toilet? Did it still work well? nitanae http://adesignforliving.net/ Title: Re: save water/ What about water efficient toilets?

I have thought of trying this but have wondered if it would still work. .Has anyone tried it on a newer toilet? I am not sure how new is new when it comes to toilets, but this has worked in every one I have had. Try it, it is simple enough to undo. For more extreme measures I have lived in 2 houses where toilets were flushed by a "bucket flush" method. Five gallon buckets were left in the shower and outside in the rain to collect water and then this was poured into the toilet bowl directly to flush it. It seemed like a great way to save water, though we put them away when nicer company came! I did flush the regular way once every other day just as a precaution, though I don't think it did any harm any way. Any thoughts?
