5 Water enters through rim punchings and jets placed in an up-leg of the rear trap, filling the trapway and creating an instant siphon
. action without rise of water level. The result is quick water withdrawal. Large water surface provides an efficient and clean
operation. With quiet flushing and moderate cost, this is the most popular residential model.

6 Water enters through diagonal punching around the rim of the bowl, creating a vortex that draws the water down into the rear trap
. with a swirling action that scours the walls of the bowl. Water strikes two parallel ridges and folds over forming a jet, producing
siphonic action. Large water surface provides a very efficient and clean process, and the flushing is extremely quiet. This model is
mostly of one-piece construction with a low profile.
Expensive.

7 Water enters through an open rim, as though a bucket of water were dumped into the bowl, filling the front trapway and creating
. siphon action. This model provides quick removal of water with minimum water rise. Small water surface makes the model more
vulnerable to soiling and clogging. This is the least efficient and most noisy type but lowest in cost.

. psi pressure, compressing trapped air in the tank. When flushed the compressed air forces the water out. The bowl is designed to
accept the torrent of water. The crest of the surging water empties the bowl through the enlarged trap. Large water surface makes
this model efficient. Design features make it suitable for residential use. Flushing is
very noisy. Low
water usage (1.5 gpf) helps conserve water. Expensive.
