Bad inventions: the low-flush toilet

August 25, 2009

OK, so how is this good for the environment? You flush. A gobbet of water appears, trickling around a few parts of the bowl. Resulting in, quite frequently, no significant change to the cleanliness of the water closet. Time to:

a) scrub endlessly with the toilet brush
b) leave it for somebody else (me?) to sort out
c) get some bleach on it…

… thereby ruining the environment. Whatever was wrong with big old chain-pull flushes and plumes of water pummelling the dirt off?

Inventor’s punishment: An obvious one. Low-flush him! Despite the fact that this won’t cause him – or anything else – to disappear down the bowl.
