WC and the fox-hole toilets

Posted by kotsengkuba on September 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Nung bago ako sa kumpanya namin, gusto kong magbawas ng “maruming tubig” sa katawan kaya nagtanong ako kung saan ang CR. Ano daw ‘yung CR sabi ng mga intsik kaya idinemonstrate ko kung anong gagawin ko sa CR. Hindi daw CR yun kundi “WC.”

Tinanong ko naman sila kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng WC dahil ang CR kako e nangangahulugang Comfort Room. Pero hindi nila alam. Buti pa si Wiki alam:

A flushing toilet or water closet (WC) is a toilet that disposes of the waste matter by using water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location. Modern toilets incorporate an ‘S’ bend; this ‘trap’ creates a water seal which remains filled with water between flushing, thus providing a hygienic barrier by preventing sewer gases from passing up the drainpipe. During flushing the ‘S’ bend also provides siphon action which helps accelerate the flushing process. Water filling up the bowl creates a high pressure area which forces the water past the S bend. At the S bend when water starts to move it creates a vacuum that pulls the water and matter out of the toilet. When there is no more water is left then the air stops the siphon or vacuum process. At that point the water that is going into the bowl continues to fill up the bowl to equalize the bowl and the S bend. This ends the cycle of one flush. However, since this type of toilet does not generally handle waste on site, separate waste treatment systems must be built.

Pero bukod sa tawag na WC ay may isa pang kahindik-hindik na kwento tungkol sa mga toilet sa China. Alam nyo bang “fox-hole style” ang mga toilet dito?
