Power Flush Toilets

Toilets

When shopping for a toilet there are a lot of things to consider. One of the most important things to consider is the flush type. Toilets come in a variety of different flush types. Aside from the classic gravity flush in most homes, there are other flush types with additional perks, like eco friendly flush types and more powerful flush types. Power Flush toilets or pressure assisted toilets as they are often called more becoming an increasingly more popular toilet flush type because they use less water. The average toilet water usage is reduced by 40% compared to standard gravity flush toilets. Read on below for common questions and answers regarding power flush toilets/pressure assist toilets.

How do pressure assist toilets work?

Using their efficient pressurized design, a pressure assist toilet helps to use less water per flush. When the power flush toilet is flushed, less water is used but the actual flushing is enacted with more force than a standard gravity powered toilet. Inside the tank of a power flush toilet there is a sealed plastic container filled with air. When you flush the toilet the pressure in the container releases, forcing water into the bowl at a high velocity.

What’s Inside a pressure assist Toilet?

There are two main toilet flushing types: gravity flush toilets and pressure-assist toilets. Gravity flush toilets are the most common. Gravity flush toilets contain water inside the toilet tank. A pressure-assist toilet is different from a gravity-flow toilet in for one main reason – the inside of the toilet tank. When you peek inside a gravity-flow toilet tank, water is the main component. If you were to open up a pressure-assist toilet tank, an additional, smaller tank would also be inside. Pressure-assisted toilets have a tank inside of another tank so that a large amount of air pressure is created in between the two tanks. This pressure makes it possible for more water to stay inside the toilet bowl, which, in turn, results in a cleaner toilet.

What are the benefits of a power flush toilet?

As stated previously, one of the main benefits to a power flush toilet is the efficiency thanks to their pressure assist flush. Because of the forceful flush, power assist toilets actually result in a sizable amount of water savings. The last benefit is overall less toilet maintenance. A pressure-assist toilet simply contains fewer parts, meaning it will be less likely to break down and require servicing. If you want to save both water and expenses in the long run then a power flush toilet is for you!
