Sloan Flushmate III, 1.6 GPF Pressure Assist Toilet Flush Operating System

The FLUSHMATE® Pressure-Assist system is a component inside of a specially designed toilet that harnesses the pressure from the water supply line to provide the energy needed to complete the flush. The FLUSHMATE® system traps air as it fills with water and uses the water supply line pressure to compress the trapped air inside. The compressed air forces the water into the bowl so instead of the “pulling” or siphon action of a gravity unit, the pressure-assist unit “pushes” waste out. This vigorous flushing action rinses the bowl better than gravity units. The FLUSHMATE® Pressure-Assist system cannot be retrofitted into a standard, gravity-fed toilet.
