Anything wrong with following the adage "If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down?"  By only flushing with #2, you can significantly reduce your number of flushes.  This is, of course, dependent on how often you #2 and whether you can stand to leave urine in the toilet.  But, hey, it's just a suggestion......

R.P.

To save water in toilet flushing, we save the pee in plastic milk jugs (females use a funnel) and dump it on the leaf pile. Breaks down nicely. Great fertile mulch. But in the winter, or with no leaf pile, we fill a jug and flush it all down in one flush (or it "flushes itself".

What ever happened to the idea of putting a brick or two into the toilet tank?

Instead of putting in a newer toilet, I decided to reuse my bath water. I live in the city, so I really do not 'need' to do it, but the point is to reduce our foot print on Earth. And I am saving a ton of water and money doing it- So Stick to the Man. I had a 32 gallon trash can that I pumped the water in, then gravity fed to the tank. I am currently using a two gallon pail of water and dumping directly into the bowl and reusing 5 gallon pails to store water until I need it. I believe it will be more cost effective for most people and easier to handle, though the trash can can hold more water. Down side, do not expect a shine white bowl ever again. If you what a white bowl, use rainwater, you should be use that already, Right?
