The Coriolis Effect only affects large bodies of water, for example, hurricanes are diverted from the equator because of the Coriolis Effect. The Coriolis effect would not affect a toilet enough to overcome the design of the fixture. The rim holes would start the swirling. Please read the Snopes page that explains this in greater detail. The link is attached.
There is a common urban legend that when toilets flush on the opposite sides of the equator the water will spin in opposite directions due to the Coriolis Effect. The truth is that this does not happen and they spin the same way regardless of which side of the equator they are flushed. The Coriolis effect is just too small to have any effect on the water in the toilet. However, it does have an effect on really large things such as hurricanes. Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere will spin in the opposite direction to hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere.
No. This applies to large-scale weather systems and ocean currents, but a toilet bowl is too small to be influenced by this. The direction a toilet flushes depends on how the toilet is built.
Latitude has no effect on the direction a toilet flushes. The Coriolis Effect cannot influence such small-scale processes.
Water swirls clockwise in toilets in the northern hemisphere. Toilets in the southern hemisphere (below the equator) swirl counter clockwise. The reason for this is the "Coriolis effect."
because it might be clogged Water level in your toilet bowl is first determined by the water level in your reserve tank on back of stool. Check there first to see if it is filling properly. Second reason, maybe that you have a obstruction in you main line, however slight it will cause gravity to take control.
Muriatic Acid I think.(Pls.Correct me if I am wrong)
barometric pressure differances between outside and inside, in a wind storm, lots of variences in pressure, there is a vent, that allows air in fromoutside to allow water to drain without any gulping of airfrom the drains, this vent allows outside pressure to be directly on the other side of the water plug the the s trap in the toilet forms(plug to keep sewer gases out of house) so when the pressure raises and falls just outside of the vent, the water moves up and down.
Reusing greywater- it's touted as being environmentally-friendly, but it's actually wallet-friendly too. It can also be used to flush toilets. Just pour a bucket of greywater into the bowl, and the toilet will flush without the use of any fresh water.
Public water fountains can be extremely dangerous in the number and kinds of bacteria that are found there. Some studies have found that water fountains harbor more germs than the water in a toilet bowl. People either throw trash in the fountain, spit in it, or put their mouths directly on the spigot.
No, the water in a toilet does not spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the flush system, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. In a toilet, the water is flushed by a flushing mechanism. This flushing mechanism is usually activated by pushing a lever or pushing a button, and it causes water to be released from the tank into the bowl. The shape of the toilet bowl, as well as the type of flushing mechanism, determines how the water will move once it enters the bowl. When the toilet is flushed, the water quickly fills the bowl and then begins to swirl around. The force of the swirling water will cause it to push against the sides of the bowl and create a whirlpool effect. As the water circles around the bowl, the shape of the bowl determines the direction in which the water will spin. The water will usually spin in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the type of flushing mechanism, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. The shape of the bowl and the type of flush system will determine the direction in which the water will spin, regardless of which hemisphere the toilet is located in.
2" or 3" integral trap built into toilet bowl.
clay used in making the porcelain bowl or the trace minerals that are in the water in the toilet bow.
Not the bowl, the tank
You would need to pour the water into the bowl.
The initial statement is false. Water doesn't 'turn' one way or the other when you flush due to location north or south of the equator. It has everything to do with the shape/size etc. of the bowl, and nothing to do with geographic location!
Under what circumstance? New toilet, when you turn the water on, water goes down the overflow tube to fill the bowl. You don't have to flush it the first time to fill the bowl.
NO.
You hold them or get clean water for them
On some toilets you DO get water from front of bowl, it's all a matter of design.

The water did not cause the explosion it was from the pressure assist that caused the toilet to explode because of a hair line crack
