In the daily life of residents, toilet water consumption accounts for the majority of household water consumption, and flush toilets are among the "large water users". According to the statistics of Master 8890, taking a family of three as an example, the average person uses the toilet three times a day, flushing about 45 liters of water every day, and consumes about 16,400 liters of water a year.

The toilet is flushed frequently, and the water bill is twice that of the neighbors

Citizen Ms. Cheng's family rents in Sanma Road. She said that the water bill at home is twice that of the neighbor's house every month.

Ms. Cheng has a family of three, and her neighbor is also a family of three. The lifestyles of the two families are similar. They cook two meals a day at home, but the water bill is much lower.

"My family pays more than 60 yuan a month for water, but the neighbor's only needs 30 yuan. The same water, how can it be so much worse?" Ms. Cheng was puzzled. At first she thought there was a water leak in the house. After asking the master to check it, she ruled out the possibility of water leakage.

But the master reminded that this may be related to frequent use of toilet water. Ms. Cheng said that the design of the toilet in her house is unreasonable. You have to flush the toilet twice each time to clean it, which consumes 1.5 buckets of water. Because of this, Ms. Cheng’s water bill is higher than that of her neighbors.

It is understood that the capacity of flush toilets currently on the market is between 4.5 to 6 liters. Taking 5 liters as an example, each person uses it three times a day and consumes 15 liters of water per day. The city’s permanent population is 740,000, and the daily water consumption reaches 11,100 cubic meters.

Placing a water bottle or lowering the float can reduce the amount of water storage

The humble flush toilet was a waste of water without knowing it. So, how can we save water from the toilet tank?

"Filling a Coke bottle and other containers with water into the water tank or slightly bending the handle of the float in the barrel can reduce the water storage in the water tank." Recently, the reporter and Master Pan of 8890 did several water saving experiments.

In this experiment, a toilet with length, width, and height of 39, 19, and 20.5 cm was selected for the experiment. Under normal conditions, the storage depth of the water tank is 17.5 cm after the water is filled, and the flushing water is about 12.97 liters.

Experiment 1: The reporter pre-filled a mineral water bottle with a volume of 550 ml into the water tank. After the water storage is completed, take out the water bottle. The actual water depth measured is 15 cm, and the flushing water is about 11.12 liters.

Experiment 2: The reporter bends the float handle in the bucket slightly to make the float drop. After the water storage is over, the actual water depth is 15.1 centimeters and the flushing water is about 11.19 liters.

Through experiments, we can find that the above methods can reduce water consumption. Master Pan said: "The first way is to reduce the storage volume of the water tank.

The second method is based on the principle that the flush toilet relies on a floating ball to determine the water shut-off, reducing the floating ball to reduce water storage.

A second method, better than the first, because the water bottle might be stuck in the tank means but not stop the waste water stream. "

One large and one small button of the drain valve can save a lot of water when used correctly

"The above two methods are ultimately to reduce water storage. In addition, we can also reduce water consumption by reducing drainage." Master Pan also introduced the drainage valve adjustment method.

On the drain valve of the toilet, there are two buttons, one large and one small. The big button means full drain and is used for flushing the stool, while the small button is semi-draining and is used for flushing the urine. Below the two buttons, there are two adjustable buttons respectively.

In life, even if it is to flush the stool, not all water is needed. At this point, we only need to adjust the activity adjustment button below the full drainage button upwards. In the same way, semi-drainage can also be adjusted upwards to reduce flushing. Generally speaking, we can adjust the full row to two thirds and the half row to one third. In short, citizens can determine the amount of drainage that suits them through trial and error, and then adjust the activity buttons.

In addition, one water with multiple uses is also the most common and practical way to save water. We can store face water, vegetable washing water, etc. in an empty bucket, and then use waste water to flush the toilet when needed, which can also save water resources.
