The New brick for your toilet

  • Posted by: monique epstein
  • on August 31, 2009 at 2:25 pm

I noticed in ‘the water issue’ of GOOD, it is recommended that a brick be put into toilet tanks to displace/save water. DON’T do it. The sediment breaks loose and can ruin your pipes. Instead, try to get your local water district to purchase and distribute (free) the H2OBrick, a patented, water displacement device which is made of recycled PP and will last forever.
