Unlike traditional toilets which rely on gravity and to flush, pressure assisted toilets use compressed air to assist in flushing. Pressure assisted toilets look very similar to gravity fed toilets from the outside. Pressure assisted toilets are most commonly used for commercial applications. Some benefits that this system can include a more powerful flush, high resistance to clogs, and lower water consumption. They are also less likely to have condensation build up during humid weather.
Step 1: Water Flows to Vessel Water fills a sealed pressure vessel inside the china tank. The water pressure from the building displaces air in the vessel, building pressure that will be used for flushing.
Step 2: Vessel Ready to Flush Water displaces the air, causing it to further compress. The water pressure is used to create a powerful siphonic flush action.
Step 3: Air Pressure Empties Vessel When flushed, the stored energy of the compressed air accelerates the water flowing into the toilet bowl faster than relying on gravity alone.
