    Watched a few videos explaining how toilets work before seeing this one, and this one was the only one that explained how filling the bowl with water made it flush. Thanks for clarifying things!

      Yes, most videos don't even address this, which is arguably the most important part: the S trap

    When you showed the siphon operation, you should have shown "all" the water in the bowl be siphoned away. Water would not have remained in the bowl the way it was shown, because this would create a vacuum in between the departing water and the remaining water.

    I literally found out how this works yesterday, so I'm here to tell you how you got it wrong! 😜 Your illustrations are of two completely different types of toilet tank. 1:02 Your side view shows a US style toilet where the handle opens a flapper valve in the bottom of the tank that just let's the water out downwards. But the inset diagram labelled "Graphic with more detail" shows a UK-style cistern, where the handle forces water up a tube that forms a siphon, as labelled, so there isn't a naked hole in the bottom of the tank like there is on the main image.

    After a friend of mine discovered a rat in her toilet I became more interested in exactly how a toilet works. National Geographic does actually have a video that shows how something like a rat could climb up through pipes and show up in your toilet bowl! 😱

  • @joevarga5982

    Why does the overflow tube in the tank where the water re-fills the tank not fill up with water?

  • @Henryz90

    Thanks! I showed this to my 5yo because she didn't understand why the toilet wouldn't flush again after she just flushed

    Fun fact: in the streets before toilets was made people threw their poop out in the streets and it became a hazard for cities so they made toilets

  • @hisforj

    The demo does not empty the entire toilet. I’m curious how that works.
    1. How water level is kept constant in a toilet after emptying all that were before.
    2. How (what force) it empties in the first place.

    Can you make a video like this one but show the differences between the way the different types of toilets around the world work like you did American toilets? How does the UK toilet work with the American toilet?

    8 mar 2022 11:26 pm est(utc-5):thanks . my mother use coloring-agent-liquid to check why sometimes toilet inhale but no one is flushing . and that coloring-agent-liquid enter toilet-bowl occasionally while no one is flushing , telling that piston is automatically-sending little water gradually to toilet-bowl until water-tank become semi empty then water-tank self-refill water while making inhale-noise . piston-renewal fix that problem . now toilet inhale again occasionally but my mother is in foreign country . so i want to know how toilet work.

    This is horrible... What path does the water take?... What type of system causes the "swoosh" sound and moves the "stuff" so aggressively?... Its in the bowl design for sure .. what about the little holes around the rim, what path does the water take to get there?. Is it a dual path?... You illustrated the water in the bowl only at 45 degree angle... never level..... This should be removed from youtube accept for maybe suggested it for 8 year olds..

    Now to answer the mystery of why Americans feel like they need 100 litres of water to pee/poo in when Australia and the UK has proven you need a few cups full 😂.
    The amount of times my hand ended up in water while pooing in America was beyond a joke.
