How A Toilet Flushes
How a toilet flushes in your own home.
If you were ever sitting on the pot and wondered how it works? Well, here it is.
First, you push the handle down which pulls a chain connected to the flapper up. The flapper is a circular disk that forms a seal around the drain valve. Next, the tank is drained and the water flows into the bowl. Then, the water carries the waste down the trap and down into the main drain. After that, the flapper closes forming a seal around the drain valve and the fill valve takes water from the main water supply and starts to fill the tank. This will take approximately three minutes and will use about 2 gallons of water. Finally, the float rises and stops any more water from going into the tank.
Also if you wanted to know some facts to share with others, here are six:
- There are three different types of toilets: wall-hung toilets, close-coupled toilets, and back-to-wall toilets.
- The average price for a toilet is between $250 and $600
- A normal toilet’s lifetime is 50 years.
- The first toilet was made in 1592.
- Toilets are made of porcelain, a ceramic material that is made through high levels of heat. it is used because it is durable and sleek.
- Button toilets rather than handle toilets are more hygienic because they can be kept cleaner and in the future, the lever flush might go away completely.
