After watchin' the movie 'Snakes On the Plane', we had some short discussion about some scenes from the film. One of it was from the toilet scene - where one guy was having his pee in the toilet without noticing the existance of a deadly snake in the toilet bowl. Yeah, you can easily guess what's happen next. The snake bit the man's 'jewels' to death. It's not the point.
My friend was doubt that there's no water that contains in the toilet bowl. I couldn't object about this since I noticed there's one thing called vacuum toilets in most of the airplanes. I did a little research and I found it via Howstuffworks site:
"Airplane toilets use an active vacuum instead of a passive siphon, and they are therefore called vacuum toilets. When you flush, it opens a valve in the sewer line, and the vacuum in the line sucks the contents out of the bowl and into a tank. Because the vacuum does all the work, it takes very little water (or the blue sanitizing liquid used in airplanes) to clean the bowl for the next person. Most vacuum systems flush with just half a gallon (2 liters) of fluid or less, compared to 1.6 gallons (6 liters) for a water-saving toilet and up to 5 gallons (19 liters) for an older toilet."
Bottomline is vacuum toilets use very little water. I assume it still contains water in the toilet bowl, don't you think so??
Another discussion - Is it possible to have snakes on the plane? Here's the answer:
