All The Weird Things That Happen After You Flush The Toilet

[@alliekuma4234]

As somebody who started working as csr for a plumbing company recently I genuinely appreciate this. It helps me understand the terminology a bit more so thank you.😊

[@pattycake8272]

So if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence; it's because the septic tank may have a problem?

[@btetschner]

Plumbing is a trade skill that will always be valuable.

[@TheOfficialTarynTots]

I actually learned all about this after my local state Congresswoman (and former sec of state) became Water Commissioner after a couple big companies were dumping massive pollution in our water. She claimed she asked them to stop and they freely did so (I highly doubt that). After that, they stopped sending us our water report (that we got annually and make it hard to find online). Then she decided to take a large payout (I mean paycut )to be our Water Commissioner.

No no, you were right the first time. Government officials leave the government and then become lobbiests, board members, or other important members of the evil companies that they were paid off by... er ummmm... I mean voted for.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

The entire downtown area of Chicago was raised by a dozen feet to put a sewer under it. Entire buildings were raised, often when they were fully populated.

[@btetschner]

It wasn't long ago when people didn't have indoor plumbing for their houses, they were reliant on outhouses.

[@garycarpenter6433]

I know of a guy that has a bathroom and a outhouse and he'd rather it than his bathroom (a friend of mine told me this yrs ago)

[@gudjon_jonsson]

What a timing. I'm sitting on the toilet

I used to work in a factory that was near the local waste treatment plant. It was pretty “fragrant “ in the summer time. 😖 After the water gets treated it is cycled into the Rock River.

[@GummyBearWA]

I haven't had the float flush system since the pressure switch became available in the early 80s. Just came back from the UK, and they're pumping untreated sewage into the ocean, lakes, and streams. You can't go near the water for fear of getting sick.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Hilarious! But seriously...funny and very helpful for understanding and appreciating the plumbing and sewage system we have today.

[@catsupy]

TMI time! When I was little, I used to say I was "feeding" the toilet when I went to the bathroom.

[@TheAwesomeTD]

I love this! My toddler says he dropping legos off. 😂

[@Scraggledust]

How about the aging of infrastructure (mainly bridges)? Maybe about the repairs and the work required, to bring infrastructure up to modern standards? Thanks for always showing up! 😜

[@dkev001]

A treatment plant I am familiar with, doesn’t add chemicals at the end before going back to the river. The water travels through a building with banks of UV light to kill the remaining bacteria in the water.

[@great-grandmakirk8828]

Thank you for sharing this weird history it’s fascinating. ❤️👏🏼

[@seanwebb605]

I think the turtles live in the storm drains, not the sewers. People call all sorts of things sewers but there are so many different systems.

[@misterhat5823]

A lot of cities have a combined system, where they both are the same thing.

[@seanwebb605]

@@misterhat5823 Which city do the turtles live in?

[@garycarpenter6433]

Don't forget the 🐊 Alligators in the sewers and the rats in Chicago and NYC

@@garycarpenter6433 Ummm... no. The teenage mutant hero turtles, splinter (rat), and leatherhead (aligator) live in NYC, not chicago.

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

Our septic tank was not two feet from house. The well was at the other end, some thirty feet distance. We had to dig out the tank every year due to its small size. Yes, our leeching bed area some 30 feet from tank was a slightly darker green than rest of the yard.

Would love to see a segment on the origins of famous dishes and the inventors behind them (e.g., beef Wellington, the Waldorf salad, etc.)

[@glennso47]

My mom and dad had a septic tank when I was a kid. They had pipes channeled under their garden. Great fertilizer. Their vegetables were huge and tasty.

[@monkiespukerabbits]

Don’t forget a cesspool. My sisters trailer had one when in West Virginia. I’m blind, open up her back door to step outside, and almost fell into the cesspool.

[@debbieellett9093]

Had a boss that dropped her phone in the toilet! After that, I was sure to never have my phone while on the throne😄😃😂

[@NewMessage]

Usually there's a lot more complaining about the smell when I flush. Coming from the other room, even.

[@silverturtlelady]

Are y'all going to be doing anymore Timeline videos? I hope so, they are the greatest!

[@btetschner]

2:22 The novel Morlock Night by K.W. Jeter (1979) is the first "steampunk" novel. Jeter coined the term "steampunk" in 1987 when he was describing it and other novels by James Blaylock and Tim Powers.

[@btetschner]

2:22 I went to The Time Machine (2002) in the theater, it is a very memorable film.

[@elizabethramsey9295]

My mom used to flush bleach water down their toilet much to my dad’s irritation since they had a septic tank. Also my dad and brothers never flushed my toilets after they did number one. I guess old habits die hard.

[@KittynFranky7643]

Lived out in the country for a while and I used to do the same. Drove my poor husband insane. He always complained that he had to throw a rotten chicken to bring back the bacteria.

[@GroundersSourceOfficial]

We don't flush after a #1 because we like to conserve water. Plus, when #2 is tripled due to a health issue, you'll be glad you saved that water!

[@avengerscap]

Yeah--not all toilets have a ball mechanism anymore.

[@andrewweaver2517]

I'm making a call about my septic tank. Thank you. Yall seriously saved me a lot of money with this knowledge.

[@btetschner]

4:12 I remember watching Primal Fear (1996) with some of my friends in college. This was at the time Edward Norton was hitting it big on many different films.

[@The7Reaper]

Ever had a septic tank fuck up and it have to be dug up to be repaired? Yeah... happened at an old house I lived at years ago, and it smells like death and stinks up the whole neighborhood, not a good time.

[@laya7061]

Nice. While I eat my takoyaki. 😅

Lol great choice of vid to watch while you consume 😅

[@tainatarot]

Ewww. Love it!! Lol 😂

[@glennso47]

Sometimes a rather unpleasant thing happens when you flush a toilet when the toilet drain is clogged. Rather than having the water to go down, it comes up and out all over the floor! No fun at all! 😲

[@BakedRBeans]

Like I always say......Flushing down, is better than flushing up.

[@Saudyization]

Alwsys close lid before flushing..avoid all that yucky particles in air. And make sure air fresh for next use 😊... i love my bathroom clean as my kitchen.

[@lilitharam44]

Now I want to see a video about water towers and where the water from your sink comes from!

[@joelyanovich7477]

Any chance you guys could give us the weird history of those Spirit Halloween stores that pop up at my closed down Sears every September?

[@ThatChick_NextDoor]

I know what ur talking about but I think it’s just cuz it’s a seasonal business, therefore every September they move into an old building for the business season.

[@Pieman29666]

The narrator is so great, as usual xD

[@TheAwesomeTD]

Kudos on your Better Call Saul connection.

[@ZoSo_x]

You can tell the narrator really *enjoys* his job

[@cdldriver2348]

I just recently found out that water we drink has been drunk 7 times before we drank it. Makes sense, 7+ billion people on the planet and a finite amount of water.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

The grass is always greener on the other side of a septic tank. @9:30

[@SWLinPHX]

Are you talking about the Erma Bombeck book "The Grass Is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank"?

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

Ahahaha--no, i don't think so? I was just playing on a phrase from the video... tho i'm curious about this title now that you've mentioned it! :) @@SWLinPHX

[@SWLinPHX]

@@ingridfong-daley5899 Erma Bombeck was a humorous author who wrote books like that one in the 1970s & 80s. I haven't read it (my mom used to read her) but that's what I immediately thought, LOL.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

I remember her name, and i like that style of writing--i'll have to check her out; sounds like she uses words like i do!

[@SWLinPHX]

@@ingridfong-daley5899 Oh yeah, she was a huge best-selling author in her time. I think you might like her.

[@BakedRBeans]

Look at the valve shown at :50 That is the Sloan valve, used on all commercial toilets. Originally, it had Delany stamped on it, That is the inventor's name. Sound familiar? I saw an interview with actress Dana Delany, and she said her grandfather was the inventor. He made millions off his invention! She said that her grandfather would say. "It might be s---- to you, but it's gold to me!"

Do a video on Charles the 5th of the Holy Roman Empire. He had control of Spain and Central Europe in the 15th century. It would be interesting to talk about the feud between him and Martin Luther. He struggled to maintain him empire in the end and split it between his sons.

People underestimate the value of wastewater treatment. The industry is in need of workers. It's one of the easiest jobs to get as a young person. It can pay well sometimes also.

i flush my septic system every five years but have an aunt that has never flushed her system for over 40 with no major problems at all......

[@Noah_E]

At least where I am (central VA, USA) the septic system has to be designed to accommodate a family of five as a minimum. If only two or three people use it, the system may easily go decades without needing any maintenance. Mine's been fine since 2015. Our seasonal cabin hasn't needed servicing for two decades.

[@ANDROLOMA]

Video, upgrade thyself! 1:46 Ball floats and float rods are obsolete, and have been since the 1990s. The better flush valves are Flushometer types, with the float attached to the fill tube that slides up and down to activate the inlet valve. Please amend this discrepancy at your earliest convenience. Please, and thank you. 🙂

[@fredbays]

Septic tanks and leach fields are so essay to mange and not person to pay every few yr. Just keep the bugs happy by not putting stuff in there that will kill them. Like what? most house hold cleaners. Use only 100% biodegradable ones. Then just for good measure give those bugs new friends every mo. Drop a packet of them in toilet 1st of each mo. Then there is where u build. Never ever build on flat ground. Ur leach field will fill up every time it rains and take days to dry out. Besides flat ground is for framing not building on. If the land u build on has a grate to it put ur leach field below ur well a good 100 ft from well. The land being on a grate means it will drain fast thus yr leach field will never fill up.
