The toilet is a piece of everyday life that has remained unchanged for many decades. In recent years, however, advances in plumbing technology have increased significantly. Pressure-assisted toilets are one advancement that help make frustrating clogs a thing of the past.
Function
Traditional toilets are simple and use gravity to create flushing action. Newer pressure assisted models, however, use compressed air in addition to gravity for better function.
Operation
Inside the tank of a pressure assisted toilet, a canister contains compressed air. This pressurized air is used to push water through the system with significant force. Once the water has flushed, the air tank re-pressurizes for the next use.
Advantages
The most obvious advantage of pressure assisted toilets is the prevention of clogs. Because air pressure works in addition to gravity, material caught in the pipes of the toilet are dislodged easily.
Disadvantages
While effective, pressure assisted toilets are more expensive than traditional designs, costing more than $100 more. In addition, many assisted units are loud when flushed.
Advances
Since there initial introduction, advances in the design of pressure assisted toilets have helped make them quieter and more water efficient.
