*/ Material preparation

* : This article will omit the process of making a non-water-saving toilet, if there is no ready-made toilet, please purchase a water-saving toilet directly.

** : The density of the selected weight should be at least greater than that of water, and the volume should not be too large, otherwise it cannot be put into the bottle. Sand, small stones, etc. are good choices. Modification procedure

1. Open the lid of the toilet box and put the Coke bottle in to check whether it is the right size. If the height is not suitable, please do a proper trim (do not cut the bottom)

2. Take out the bottle, place the weight in the bottle, and then put the bottle back in the toilet box. If the weight of the bottle does not make it sink to the bottom, add water

3. Cover the toilet seat and complete the precautions for water-saving toilet

1. Do not touch the "mechanism" in the toilet when you put it in

2. It is not feasible to throw a few tiles in the toilet tank

3. After all is completed, it is best to check the water leakage of the water tank, which can lead to a waste of up to 946 liters of water per day!

Check method: Drop a few drops of pigment in the tank (or pour a little more colored liquid such as soy sauce), half an hour later to see the water in the toilet, if there is the color of the pigment, it indicates that there is a leak point, may be modified, may also have a leakage problem in the toilet itself, please repair in time. Application category

1. Family use

2. Modify the toilets of the accommodation of the two sessions and publicize the modification principle in the news

Open the lid of the toilet tank, you can see the principle at a glance, the ball will float with the water surface, when the level reaches a certain height, the rod switch driven by the ball will close the water inflow. Therefore, adding a certain volume of water bottles to the tank can reduce the amount of water when filling, so as to achieve the purpose of saving water.

Such modifications also have drawbacks, the reduction of water volume is likely to lead to insufficient flushing. If this is the case, two flushing is more wasteful, but try to change to a mineral water bottle, if not, perhaps your toilet is already water-saving, do not need such modifications. More serious about water Who is suffering from all kinds of water-wasting practices?

Every year, nearly one billion people get sick or die from lack of clean water (detail). African women carry 18 kilograms and walk 40 billion hours a year to collect water (detail). Every week, nearly 38,000 children under the age of five die from drinking unclean water. Who is wasting water?
