"Low-flow, water-saving toilets significantly reduce the amount of fresh water consumed and the corresponding amount of blackwater generated." How effective are they really when people continue to flush inorganic waste such as wipes, tampons, wrappers, dental floss, etc into the wastewater stream? An extra flush to get that tampon down defeats the purpose of water saving toilets. A toilet back up wastes gallons of dirty contaminated water. What a mess to clean up!
The most common sewer problem facing a homeowner is a backup in the sewer line. Most backups can be prevented by taking notice of what is flushed down toilets and sinks
THROW THE FOLLOWING IN THE GARBAGE NOT DOWN THE TOILET:
• tampons
• condoms
• unused medications
• cotton swabs
• cotton balls
• bandage wrappers
• wipes of any kind
• disposable diapers
• nursing pads
• mini- or maxi-pads
