Not A Digital Operating System
w0w… The power-assisted flush of our new Glacier Bay water closet moves waste twenty feet further in the drain line than a conventional gravity-drained toilet. And it uses only 1 gallon of water per flush. Our days of double-flushing are over because the water closet bowl is completely emptied and cleared. And in only about five seconds.
As evidenced in the image above, water never enters the tank proper. The flushing system is the FlushMate device within the tank. A minimum water pressure is required because the FlushMate tank fills, compressing the air above it. This volume of compressed air provides the air pressure needed for the power-assist.
The actual flush is a little noisier than conventional toilets. However, the bowl clears quickly and the refilling takes less than thirty seconds.
Beyond the flushing efficiency is the water conserving benefit. This model sits a little higher in seating than the one replaced. This seems more comfortable for me. Shirley is interested in replacing the water closet in the master bedroom with this model. I think that is a good idea.
Had to double-flush this morning. Some TP failed to clear with initial flush. The upside was needing to wait only around twenty seconds for the FlushMate tank to refill. (I believe the replaced toilet took about a minute for tank refill.) The 5-second flush time and impressive power still surprises me. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteToday we replaced the other toilet in our home with a Glacier Bay model. The pressure-assisted FlushMate technology in the tank has won our loyalty.
ReplyDeleteRoutine sanitation of the bowl will continue; yet, the bowl stays clean due to the powerful flush action.
