The Supplemental Toilet Tank provides
additional water for flushing low-flow volume toilets and
helps to prevent low-flow toilet flushing problems, such
as clogging and overflowing. |
The Supplemental Toilet Tank is designed to prevent
sewer line backup, and other flushing problems with water-saver
toilets.
A 1999 survey by the National Association of Home
Builders Research Foundation found that new-home buyers experienced
difficulties with their low-consumption toilets that included problems
such as clogging and overflowing.
The Supplemental Toilet Tank provides additional
water for flushing via a plastic tube that extends down into the
integral tank. A vacuum pump, connected to the upper portion of
the supplemental tank, causes reduced pressure in the upper interior
of the supplemental tank, enabling it to fill with water. When the
toilet is flushed, water flows out supplemental tank into the integral
tank to aid in flushing the toilet. This unit requires no change
to existing plumbing.

BENEFITS
- Complete removal of waist products from commode
- Keeps the sewer lines from the house to the main clear
- Helps prevent flushing problems with water-saver toilets,
such as sewer line backup or clogging
- The additional water provided by the Supplemental Toilet Tank
uses less water than a second flush of a commode
|
|
FEATURES
- Consists of three parts: an inverted air chamber, a vacuum
pump, and a vacuum switch
- The inverted air chamber sits on top of an existing commode
water tank, with the opening below the water line.
- The vacuum pump pulls water up and into the inverted air
chamber
- A vacuum pump automatically turns the pump off when the inverted
air chamber is full
- When the commode is flushed the intergral tank empties along
with the supplemental (inverted) water tank
- Once the integral tank is refilled, the supplemental inverted
air chamber refills automatically due to a vacuum chamber effect
in the inverted air tank caused by the vacuum pump
