I don't have any experience with low volume cans at all but it seems to me I read somewhere that some use air pressure with the water. As the reservoir fills it displaces air under pressure which is captured and released behind the water to add a sort of jet effect.
Did I dream that up? Could be!

But that is my ignorance showing. I do remember one "high wall tank" that seemed to work well consistantly. As long as it works, I'm happy to have your guidence. We have a hole in the floor, (covered) and I've been told a new vanity and shower door are being added to the job. hahaha On Mon, 7 Jan 2008, chiliblindman wrote: > Spiro, the standard toilet that most of us probably know, have the valve in the bottom of the tank operated by the flush handle. > The valve less have a kind of tank or bucket inside the tank that tilts to dump. The push to make water saver toilets resulted in small tanks that didn't work and inserts into older ones that didn't work right. They displaced water volume in order to displace water usage. > The newer ones kind-a have the same tank size and some have the same water volume; but, only the top part of the water is used. The water, located in the upper portion of the tank has the power and momentum. The water mass gives pressure even if it is not all used and the height of drop adds power to flush faster. > I hope that makes it a little clearer and not muddied the whole idea. The real old toilets with a water tank near the ceiling always flushed good with a smaller water volume plus a roar and a half. Do you remember those? It would not surprise me if they came back in designer fashion. > ....................bob > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
