My only comments/suggestions are regarding the Tornado:
1. Instead of flushing and then using the Tornado, what would happen if you ran the Tornado simultaneously during the first flush? Possibly save the second separate filling.
2. I noticed that the Tornado was mounted level. Would there be any benefit if the wedge was used and the Tornado was angled down, towards the main drain?
3. From what I was able to see, the Tornado spray head rotated with water coming straight out the head and at 90 degrees. What would happen if the head was slightly modified with one or two additional holes at 45 degrees? It would reduce the force slightly but would give a better spray pattern.
Thanks John!
I tried to install the tornado and use it according to the directions supplied. It didn't say anything about running while dumping the first time, but I don't see why that couldn't be done. Maybe it would have performed better, but probably not much. (I mean, it already did pretty darn well in the test! How much better could it have done?)
The directions definitely did say to mount it level though. There may be some benefit to pointing it at one corner or another as you suggest, or to modifying it. But I think those would depend on your tank configuration and where your "dead spots" were.
Glad I've got people thinking!
