How I Flush My Toilets Using Rainwater
Here I explain my proof of concept on how to operate your toilets off of rain water. The biggest challenged I faced was locating the low pressure ballcock seal. After a brief conversation with Fluidmaster Tech support I learned almost all american homes operate on a high pressures system, our toilets will begin to operate at 8 (psi.) Second and Third world countries operate on low pressure systems. Their toilets begin to operate at 2 (psi) Because America operates on a high pressure system finding the low pressure ballcock seal I needed in stores or online was next to impossible. Fluidmaster was eager to help. They located and shipped me a few seals at no charge just to see this happen. If you plan to replicate this proof of concept, here is Fluidmaster Tech support # 949-728-2000.
