Snake

Snakes can enter the toilet from the pipe that waste goes through. Just thought I can point that out.Cwater1 (talk) 17:30, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Nasa Toilet and low - flush toilet

In this paragraph of the wikipedia article:

The design of toilets has evolved significantly throughout history, from simple pits to the advanced flushing systems found in modern restrooms. Early toilets, such as those in ancient Rome and Greece, utilized public latrines with basic drainage systems. The invention of the flush toilet is often attributed to Sir John Harington, who introduced a functional prototype in the late 16th century. The modern design, which includes water-saving features and efficient plumbing systems, has become standard in many countries. Advances in toilet technology continue, with a focus on water conservation and hygiene, leading to the development of more eco-friendly and user-friendly designs in the 21st century.

The amount of water used by conventional flush toilets usually makes up a significant portion of personal daily water usage. However, modern low flush toilet designs allow the use of much less water per flush. Dual flush toilets allow the user to select between a flush for urine or feces, saving a significant amount of water over conventional units. One type of dual flush system allows the flush handle to be pushed up for one kind of flush and down for the other, whereas another design is to have two buttons, one for urination and the other for defecation. In some places, users are encouraged not to flush after urination. Flushing toilets can be plumbed to use greywater (water that was previously used for washing dishes, laundry, and bathing) rather than potable water (drinking water). Some modern toilets pressurize the water in the tank, which initiates flushing action with less water usage.

I would like to edit it to this:

The amount of water used by conventional flush toilets usually makes up a significant portion of personal daily water usage. However, modern low flush toilet designs allow the use of much less water per flush. Older toilets used approximately 6 gallons per flush. In the early 2000’s, new technology such as different designs of the cistern and the siphon, low-flush toilets, allowed toilets to use 1.28 gallons per flush.(https://www.epa.gov/watersense/residential-toilets#:~:text=Specification-,Flush%20Facts,of%201.6%20gallons%20per%20flush.).Dual flush toilets allow the user to select between a flush for urine or feces, saving a significant amount of water over conventional units.

High-tech toilet

See also: Toilets in Japan

"High-tech" toilets, which can be found in countries like Japan, include features such as automatic-flushing mechanisms; water jets or "bottom washers"; blow dryers, or artificial flush sounds to mask noises. Others include medical monitoring features such as urine and stool analysis and the checking of blood pressure, temperature, and blood sugar. Some toilets have automatic lid operation, heated seats, deodorizing fans, or automated replacement of paper toilet-seat-covers. Interactive urinals have been developed in several countries, allowing users to play video games. The "Toylet", produced by Sega, uses pressure sensors to detect the flow of urine and translates that into on-screen action.

Astronauts on the International Space Station use a space toilet with urine diversion which can recover potable water.

Sounds good to me. The main thing I would suggest is to put the volumes in a Convert function so the text shows litres as well as gallons. HiLo48 (talk) 02:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Toilet is a room not seat?

Toilet is a ROOM where toilet seat is in (what doesn't have bath or sink). Calling toilet seat toilet may be some kind of americanization. When you google toilet supplies you clearly get impression that the word means room not seat. 90.191.130.174 (talk) 05:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
