Be Nice – Don’t Flush Twice
|
Here in Vancouver, BC, it rains. And rains and rains and rains. Okay, this year has been quite dry, but last winter we had the most snow this area has seen in 30 years, and the mountain run-off is exceptional. Plus we’re surrounded by rivers and straits.
My point is, it’s wet here. As a happy consequence, water is pretty much free. No water bills. It’s in our taxes, I think. However, most of the world is not as “lucky.” Most other places I’ve lived (in the States, especially) have charged for water. And at times water had to be conserved due to droughts. One of the front lines of water conservation in the home is your toilet. For under $40, you can convert your toilet into a 2-flush system. One flush – applying a quick tap of the handle – get rid of any wee bit that you want to flush. Hold the handle down a moment longer for the full flush. The kit mentioned here has everything you need to convert your toilet. Cheaper models are out there, but will probably require that you reuse some existing hardware, which would be lame because you’re “up”grading your system, right? Right. |
