And of course, 6 litres is always sufficient. ;-)

Because it's downstairs? Less of a syphon effect?

Mine has nine (!) but all three of us only ever use the same one for a dump - but not at the same time :-)

No! Only one is a 'proper toilet' though - smallish room with just a bog and basin. And it is on the ground floor. Habit, really.

By proper toilet I mean not a bathroom. This house was a guest house or B&B for years, there were two toilets - one in the bathroom and a downstairs loo, which we use. Early 1980s, the then owner added en suite facilities to four rooms. Total, six toilets. He also built his own private bathroom with toilet on the side of the house (ground floor). Seven. The other side of the house was extended to build a shop, with two toilets. Nine. OK, so the last two are not actually in the house.

They're not even very efficient at saving water either, in my experience, given the number of extra flushes often needed....

Cisterns usually have a high water level mark.
The first thing to check is the water level and whether the flush is using all of the water. If the level of water rises in the bowl when it is flushed then it may indicate a problem downstream.

Somebody just has to say it - this thread is really just a load of shit.
I would certainly go with the the fact that the OP has failed to indicate i f the loos are all of an identical design; knowing how poorly some pans fai l to clear the deposit, it would be interesting to know if one has the opti on of testing before buying one.

They often have removable plugs in the syphon/diaphragm part to determine the end point of the flush, leaving lots of water in the cistern.

l design; knowing how
I tried taking a dump in a kitchen showroom once - then found it wasn't plumbed in. They should have a notice to tell you not to try them.

Isn't there supposed to be a test that uses balls of chipboard material to test the flush. Not sure if it has a British Standard.

The EU have interefered with our excellent toilets - and we have rushed to comply. In the meantime, in Greece, toilet paper is collected in hotels and carted around in cleaners trolleys before being put in a scip to be scavenged by cats.
