um, the goal is to get the heater going by drawing on the hot supply, right? I’ve only ever seen cold supply hooked up to a toilet. So emptying and refilling the toilet tank doesn’t use up the cooled water in the hot supply line. However, catching cooler shower water in a bucket and using this to manually flush the toilet doesn’t waste the water. It is a lot of effort though.
I love the Sealife Center in Seward. They do excellent rehab and release to wild if they can, but this little one probably won’t be suitable to go back to the wild after being bottle fed.
