Snake
Snakes can enter the toilet from the pipe that waste goes through. Just thought I can point that out.Cwater1 (talk) 17:30, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Nasa Toilet and low - flush toilet
In this paragraph of the wikipedia article:

The amount of water used by conventional flush toilets usually makes up a significant portion of personal daily water usage. However, modern low flush toilet designs allow the use of much less water per flush. Dual flush toilets allow the user to select between a flush for urine or feces, saving a significant amount of water over conventional units. One type of dual flush system allows the flush handle to be pushed up for one kind of flush and down for the other, whereas another design is to have two buttons, one for urination and the other for defecation. In some places, users are encouraged not to flush after urination. Flushing toilets can be plumbed to use greywater (water that was previously used for washing dishes, laundry, and bathing) rather than potable water (drinking water). Some modern toilets pressurize the water in the tank, which initiates flushing action with less water usage.

I would like to edit it to this:

The amount of water used by conventional flush toilets usually makes up a significant portion of personal daily water usage. However, modern low flush toilet designs allow the use of much less water per flush.''' Older toilets used approximately 6 gallons per flush. In the early 2000’s, new technology such as different designs of the cistern and the siphon, low-flush toilets, allowed toilets to use 1.28 gallons per flush'''.(https://www.epa.gov/watersense/residential-toilets#:~:text=Specification-,Flush%20Facts,of%201.6%20gallons%20per%20flush.).Dual flush toilets allow the user to select between a flush for urine or feces, saving a significant amount of water over conventional units.

High-tech toilet
See also: Toilets in Japan

"High-tech" toilets, which can be found in countries like Japan, include features such as automatic-flushing mechanisms; water jets or "bottom washers"; blow dryers, or artificial flush sounds to mask noises. Others include medical monitoring features such as urine and stool analysis and the checking of blood pressure, temperature, and blood sugar. Some toilets have automatic lid operation, heated seats, deodorizing fans, or automated replacement of paper toilet-seat-covers. Interactive urinals have been developed in several countries, allowing users to play video games. The "Toylet", produced by Sega, uses pressure sensors to detect the flow of urine and translates that into on-screen action.

Astronauts on the International Space Station use a space toilet with urine diversion which can recover potable water.

The most expensive toilet was created by NASA and cost $23 million and was sent to the International Space Station.(https://www.nasa.gov/feature/boldly-go-nasa-s-new-space-toilet-offers-more-comfort-improved-efficiency-for-deep-space) Astronauts on the International Space Station use a space toilet with urine diversion which can recover potable water.

 * Sounds good to me. The main thing I would suggest is to put the volumes in a Convert function so the text shows litres as well as gallons. HiLo48 (talk) 02:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
