I had acquired 2 one gallon containers filled them with water, I was to drop them into my toilet washer tank to save 2 gallon per flush. I was so proud of myself until I opened my tank to discover it did not look anything like I knew of tanks. It had a built in smaller size tank in it,that was flushing with force. Opps, my new house already had low flush toilets unbeknownst to me. Now that I got I could not save any more water per flush, I started wondering whether I could reduce number of flushes w/o disturbing my sense of order, cleanliness. Sharing this story, in hopes you would find it amusing. Sometimes life turn out simpler than I think it is.
