*

Characteristics:
1) Flushes through a siphon action created in
the trap-way located at the rear of the bowl.
2) Retains large amount of water.
3) Efficient but moderately noisy. The trap-way
is round and less likely to be clogged.
4) Costs a little more than the wash down type.
Water enters through rim punchings and
through a jet that fills the rear trapway
completely, creating a siphon action and
resulting in quick withdrawal of water
from the bowl. A water jet is located at
the inlet of the trapway, Most of the bowl
surface is covered with water. This model
is efficient but moderately noisy. Its cost is
reasonably low.
*
Characteristics:
1) Costlier than the wash down type and the
reverse trap type, but is more efficient in
service.
2) Retains larger amount of standing water that
mostly cover the bowl interior.
3) Has a larger trap-way making it less likely to
clog and the flushing action is silent than the
other types.
4) Very sanitary and easier to clean.
Water enters through rim punchings and jets
placed in an up-leg of the rear trap, filling he
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.
*
Characteristics:
1) Acceptably expensive type of water closet bowl,
yet, proven to be less noisy and very efficient in
its performance.
2) Flushing action is through a whirlpool motion of
water inside the bowl, followed by a flush down
of the liquid and waste completely.
3) Retains a large amount of standing water
covering almost the entire interior surface of the
bowl.
4) Considering the large amount of standing water
retained inside the bowl, it is very sanitary and
easy to clean.
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.
