Often I see this inscription in public toilets: "Do not throw toilet paper in the toilet." Tell me whether it is possible to throw toilet paper into the toilet at home. How could this threaten? It seems to dissolve in water.

The installation of toilets in the bathrooms of an apartment building and public institutions is often very different, in the latter case, these differences contribute to clogging of pipes with paper residues and the formation of blockages. The first thing you need to pay attention to in this case is the quality of the paper. The opinion that all modern toilet paper disappears without problems in water is fundamentally wrong. Only specialized products that completely dissolve can be thrown into the toilet. In public toilets, cheaper analogues are usually used, which only break up into small pieces.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the structure of the sewage system. If it has a short path, which ends with a storage tank with active chemical components, this will help launch the corresponding biological processes and dissolve the paper.

It is strictly forbidden to throw paper into the toilet in the following cases:

  1. Waste is collected in the sewer, and does not go into the sewer.
  2. On the route of the runoff, there are numerous bends, turns and narrowings.
  3. The diameter of the outlet pipe is less than 10 cm, especially with a length of 5 m or more.

It turns out that in all respects it is possible to throw toilet paper into the toilet bowl of an apartment building, the main thing is that it be of appropriate quality. Today, manufacturers often produce products in which even bushings are subject to dissolution.
