misfish Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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!

tschirk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 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!
