Mechanics of Flushing

Last week while attending my certification I found myself thinking about the mechanics of flushing. Specifically automatic toilet flushing.

Toilets (and bathrooms in general) tend to be a subject that I just don't approach.

Bodily functions

Fresh air proximity

I usually push away from that with a ten foot pole.

However last week I couldn't; I found myself agitated and then increasingly tickled by the mechanics of automatic toilets.

Have you ever wondered how a person determines the appropriate time for that WHOOSH of water to flow? How do you calibrate WHEN it should flush?

I did.

Several times last week.

Because each time I was in the middle of going, a slight shift and WHOOSH! The toilet would go & I was left wondering what the hell just happened.

I didn't move away from the toilet, I didn't open the door & walk out, I was hovering & shifted.

Each time it happened I jumped in surprise and tried not to lose my balance.

Then I got smart...

I found a toilet that wasn't so sensitive.

And all was right with the world.

Have you ever experienced that?

Happy Wednesday, y'all!!!
