Someone tell me

Why does the water in my toilet bowl, go up and down when the wind is blowing outside?

 

I always wondered this.

 

Is it cause the globe is effected by the wind??????????

 

 

Keep it clean.

[misfish]

And NO,Im not drunk,just incase, ya,ll are wondering. I just could never figure this one out.

caused by the wind fluctuating the air pressure in your plumbing vent/stack. When the wind blows hard pressure builds up inside the stack and actually will push water back up into the plumbing system.

 

My wife calls me a wealth of useless information!

Condos have vents ( stink stacks) too

What Fang said.

[tschirk]

If the wind blows perpendicular (across top of pipe) it will create a venturi effect that will cause low pressure in the vent pipe and it will draw water upwards! This is the same effect as in a paint spray gun or carburetor.

Also ingesting extreme quantities of alcohol can create the same visual effect too!
