Default Question for Peggy.

A while back you, at least I think it was you, said something along the
lines of "a typical flush creates x yy of waste". Am I dreaming? If
not can you give me a number/measurement to replace the "x yy" with?
I.E. 1 pint.

The typical flush volume from a marine toilet, including flush water, is
approximately .6 gal...or about 2 liters. If you have a manual toilet,
it's possible to reduce it to an average of only about 1 liter by
learning how to use the "dry" mode to do more than just pump the last of
the water out of the bowl.
