There could possibly be plumbing problems...A friend of mine flushed her cell phone the same way at work, and they had that bathroom shut down for weeks. they had to tear the toilet apart and everything. If you or someone you know who can help is handy with plumbing, you can turn the water off from the main valve, and take the pipe apart that connects to the toilet, with a flashlight see if you can see the glasses anywhere. If you can't i would just put it back together and assume that they have gone far enough not to ...(Answered by prplfae) |

Why does my shower water turn cold when a toilet is flushed?
I can be taking a nice, relaxing shower and -BAM!- someone flushes a toilet in another bathroom and the hot water vanishishes. It stays cold until the toilet tank is refilled (about a minute or two). Why does the toilet need my hot water? It's a cold water device!
I've been in other showers at other's houses, and the water becomes scolding when a toilet is flush. THAT, to me makes more sense, because the toilet is drawing away cold water for itself, leaving nothing but hot. But that's not the case in my house. ... (Asked by Shiomi Ryuu)

ONE OF TWO REASONS.
INSIDE YOUR SHOWER ARE TWO SAFETY DEVICES 1 A LOW PRESSURE DEVICE THAT DETECTS WATER PRESSURE SO THAT THE HEATER CANNOT BE ON WITH NO WATER INSIDE THE TANK

WHEN THE TOILET IS FLUSHED, THE CISTERN IS LOWER THAN YOUR SHOWER SO THE WATER FINDS IT EASIER TO COME OUT OF THE LOWER OUTLET, REDUCING THE WATER PRESSURE SIGNIFICANTLY
[DEVICE1 CUTS IN?]
AS WATER FLOWS INTO YOUR TOILET CISTERN, THERE IS LESS WATER TO GO THROUGH YOUR SHOWER SLOWING THE FLOW ...(Answered by andy t) |

Usually not too far downstream in house plumbing there is a trap. It looks like a cylindrical piece of short pipe coming down off a main pipe. It has a circular plate with a large square lug-type fitting on it that is square.
Often things that have weight fall down in there and can be retrieved with little effort......
...IF it's in an accessible area...and IF it's not 100 yrs old and rusted solid.....if if if. You know how that goes I'm sure.
Anyway....I don't think that line is normally filled with water, so be careful anyway if you can find it and ...(Answered by fizixx) |
