2. You put the TP where? To Flush or Not to Flush

So, you’ve paid to do your business and have some toilet paper to throw away. What next? Well, you throw your toilet paper in the garbage — not the toilet. If you’re visiting from the U.S., this may come as a culture shock. The custom in Mexico is to throw your toilet paper in the garbage when using the bathroom. That’s what everyone does. However, if I’m being honest, most of the time when I use the restroom, I just throw the toilet paper in the toilet. For me, it makes no sense to put it in the garbage bin. In my thirty years of being Mexican and living in Mexico, I have never heard of any toilet collapsing or exploding for putting toilet paper in it. Like, I don't know what's the deal with people telling you, "Oh, put it in the garbage." It makes no sense. That said, there are some places where you’ll want to make sure you throw your paper in the trash so that it doesn’t clog the older plumbing. For example, when Tulum first became a more developed city, we heard many people talk about how it was not ready to receive the amount of tourism that it got and so the local plumbing systems were struggling to keep up. This also happened in Sayulita, one of those little towns where the place just blew up and everybody was visiting and so the plumbing system got all messed up and they didn't know what to do with all of the waste. But in every other place in Mexico, I just put toilet paper in the toilet. Nothing bad will happen!

3. Always have extra toilet paper.

Most public bathrooms don’t have toilet paper. That means that you always want to make sure you have some toilet paper on you when you’re traveling. In fact, traveling with out TP is one of our top things not to do in Mexico. This is especially true if you’re on a road trip and stopping in lots of public places. I can’t count how many times we've stopped at a gas station and Jim was like, "Ugh! I really want to use the restroom." He goes in, sees that there is no toilet paper, and then has to drive dozens more kilometers until we find a toilet with toilet paper.

If I am using the gravity kit how can I optimize flow rate?

• Remove carbon filter – This will eliminate the taste and odor filtration aspect of the product but will have the biggest impact on improving flow. • Prevent the hollow fiber membrane from drying out – When the hollow fibers dry out the pores in them close up and must be rehydrated to become effective again. The easiest way to avoid having to rehydrate is to keep them in water as often as possible. To rehydrate, allow the hollow fiber membrane to be submerged in water for 1 hour, rinse through in both directions with fresh water, then resume use. • Backflush – To backflush, push CLEAN water through the filter in the reverse direction of in-use flow. Do not use excessive water pressure water to backflush. Backflushing by blowing air through the filter in the reverse direction will also help restore flow. • Remove air trapped in the filter – eliminating air trapped in the visible hollow fiber section of the filter will increase hollow fiber surface area contact and improve flow. Pulling suction from the end of the tube can help reduce the trapped air and increase flow. Separating the hollow fiber section of the filter from the carbon filter section temporarily can also allow water to fully saturate the hollow fibers and reduce air bubbles, therefore increasing flow.
