To flush a toilet with hot water, we need a water heater near the
toilet. The typical toilet tank might qualify, if it was suitably
insulated. Other types of toilet depend on normal water-pipe
pressure, and for that style of toilet we would need some sort of
flash-heating system.
If the
water was near its boiling point when flushed, many bacteria
will get killed by that hot water. Also, since hot water can dissolve
more stuff than cold water, the insides of the drain-plumbing leading
to the sewer system should be a bit cleaner. This could be an
important point when thinking about how your water company wants
you to buy insurance to cover cost of clearing an underground clog on
"your side" of the system.
S.H.I.T.T for short.

If I remember correctly this did not go over well when I posted it.

// Other types of toilet depend on normal water-pipe pressure// Almost no toilet (unless you count a urinal) relies on input pressure, even the ones you think do, don't. It is all about the siphon. Whether by gravity or by vacuum (same thing really in this case). But the introduction of increased temperature in the input is a good idea, if you like volatile "oils" like indoles and skatoles wafting through your house, like. |

[2 fries], I see your version of this Idea is in the
"Hygiene" category while mine is in the "flush" category,
and both are about flushes...so now you know why I
didn't see yours when I decided to post mine. |

I'm assuming most of the hot water would go down the
drain, not evaporate, so I'm not expecting odors to be
any worse than normal for a restroom. |
|
| |
Let me know if my Idea's focus is too close to yours,
since part of this here is about keeping your section of
the underground pipes cleaner.... |

We can't be too careful when heating farticulates. |

A cup of vinegar does a good job. Give it a chance to work over night. |

That's a lot of energy to be literally flushing down the toilet.
Quite wasteful, when there are many other ways to
clean/maintain the loo. |
