How to Flush Your Toilet Without Running Water

One way to manage waste. If you have extra water, that’s all it takes to make a toilet flush. Keep in mind, though, that the recommended stored drinking water for one person each day is also a gallon, so you can flush your toilet just one time, or you can stay hydrated.

Yep! Prior to hurricanes we store a few five gallon buckets of watee back for exactly this purpose!

This only works in siphonic toilets blowouts and washouts don’t work as well on bucket flushes.

What if your poop is too big and it doesnt fit the hole?

[MJ-pstk]

Is there any chance and possible way that after that bucket water dump, the tank could fill back up ? On its own

" gravity flush" as some say.

Most household toilets in our country don't have flush so this is not a revelation to us Filipinos. 😂

But if you have no running water, where you getting the water from? 😂 But one of my favorite things is taking a 5 gallon bucket and pouring water into the toilet and watching it disappear as quickly as I pour it.
