NYC Hero Toilet Flushes 56 Chicken McNuggets at a Time
By Chris Weiss
I recently moved and one of the biggest downers about my new place is the inadequate toilet. The thing just doesn’t have much gusto to it and often gets clogged or leaves serious floatage behind. It’s one of those low-flow jobs and I often find myself completely defeating the purpose of such a toilet by flushing it two or three times a go.
Well, NYC seems to have this same problem with their toilet flushing. And it appears that the janitorial lobby put the screws to the city. The government is planning to pass a bill that would push powerful, dual-flush toilets into all new city buildings. The toilets feature separate 0.9-gallon and 1.6-gallon flushes for liquids and solids respectively and seem to be capable of saving water while still handling the biggest, greasiest loads.
But that’s not what’s really interesting. What’s interesting is the type of things that these American Standard H2Option Siphonic Dual Flush toilets are capable of gobbling down, things like 20 golf balls and 56 chicken nuggets at a time.
There’s something a little disturbing about seeing stacks of whole hot dogs and scrapped up orange peels in a toilet, but you can watch this thing in action below–an entirely different type of toilet porn. It’s definitely not the impotent, ever-clogged bowl you may have at home. [via Dvice]
