How to choose a toilet
Water Closets (commonly toilets) are not all exactly the same. There are
variations that allow you to choose more comfortable, higher quality, and
more powerful flush designs. Some of the major features are discribed here.
Material Benefits
Gravity Fed
Gravity powered water closets are the most common type of toilets. They use the force of gravity to expel the refuse.
Siphon Jet
A siphon jet is similar to a Gravity Fed toilet, with the exception being the addition of an opening in front of the trap way that shoots a jet of water to help expel the refuse. This improves the performance of the flush.
Pressure Assist
Pressure Assist water closets are powered by compressed air entrapped in a special pressure tank. When flushed, the air forces the water out at great velocity through the trapway.
