24 Hour Water Test

[jpberg]

I just use my bidet to clean my pipes out now, works greeeeat!

Warm or cold water bidet?

See, this is where shit gets serious.

Nice job. Now that you have run out of real things to say, you get personal. It doesn't help your case that you must bring in irrelevant arguments in to make yourself look good.

You are clearly the initiator of making it personal when you made false allegations against certain unnamed pro water flushers which you couldn't back up with any facts whatsoever. Now you're trying to play the whiney victim. You're a lot better, it appears, at dishing it out than you are taking it. Hang on, I'll call you a Waambulance. And it is relevant, it points to your selfish character.

I'm interested, why not clean lucite with alcohol? I have been and hate to think I'm damaging them.

Alcohol will cause micro fractures in acrylic, so I clean my acrylic stems using water and a little unscented dishwasher soap.

I don't believe they were deleted, just locked. I think the bigger issue is you don't have any specifics to point to.

Oh, look at me, I came on a water flushing thread and posted that it was stupid, now I am attacked!!! Poor lil’ me.

Any impact on the finish of the pipe? Only concern that keeps me away from water.

I haven’t had any negative issues with the finish. I just buff them dry with a fluffy towel afterwards, and they look better than before.
I have some nice pipes, so I like to keep them in tip top.

None with mine, but I trickle water through the chamber at a rate adjusted to keep the chamber filled while it pours out through the end of the shank, and I wipe the exterior. It will screw up microcrystalline wax finishes, like Paragon and Halcyon, but I just reapply and it's good as new.

Yes, I've had stain runoffs on 2 or 3 Danish Stanwells. I could see the stains on my fingers and tissues that I wiped the pipes with. The water seems to have washed off surface layers only, as residual layers remain that appear permanent. I've water rinsed around 50 or more pipes I'd guess and this happened on the Stanwells only.

Funny, I wash my Stanwells all the time. Were they estates?

I bought all of them new. They were all over 10 years old before I water washed them for the first time.

Probably some dingbat at the factory ordered waterbased stains for a run. But, even waterbased stains don’t usually wash off.

The stains stop running after the first couple of washes. They don't run until the hot water washes off the wax layers.

I imagine different finishes will hold against water better than others. Something with an oil cure should be more wear and water resistant than something that only has a few coats of wax on it.

Hold up!

You can get a warm water bidet?!?

 

[bullet08]

Would it be safe to say if spit cleaning the rim doesn't run the finish, it would be safe with water?

A cold water bidet sounds like a particularly exquisite form of torture ?

Only the first few times, it also helps tone your pelvic floor!
