FAQs
What is a pressure-assist toilet and how does it differ from a standard gravity toilet?
A pressure-assist toilet contains a sealed, air-filled pressure tank inside the porcelain tank. When water fills the pressure vessel, the trapped air is compressed. Pressing the flush lever releases both water and compressed air at high velocity, clearing the bowl more forcefully than a gravity toilet. Gravity toilets rely solely on the weight of the water, while pressure-assist units add air pressure for a stronger, faster, clog-resistant flush.
What advantages will I see after upgrading to a pressure-assist model?
• Powerful flush: Up to 70 percent more waste-clearing force reduces clogs and double-flushes. • Water savings: Most pressure-assist toilets use 1.0–1.1 gpf versus the 1.6 gpf common in older gravity units, meeting EPA WaterSense® guidelines. • Cleaner bowl: The vigorous action helps keep the bowl cleaner between scrubbings. • Reduced maintenance: Fewer clogs mean fewer plunger calls and less wear on drain lines.
Are pressure-assist toilets noisier than traditional toilets?
Yes, the discharge sound is noticeably louder for about one second because the water leaves under pressure. However, modern pressure-assist systems include mufflers and tank-insulating liners that keep the noise level comparable to a commercial restroom. If noise is a concern, we can recommend models with additional sound-dampening features.
Can a pressure-assist toilet be installed in my existing Copperhill bathroom without major renovation?
In most cases, yes. Pressure-assist bowls use the same 12-inch rough-in and standard floor flange as conventional toilets. As long as your water supply line can deliver at least 25 psi (most Copperhill homes have 40–60 psi), installation is straightforward. Our technicians remove your old toilet, inspect the flange, set the new unit with a high-grade wax or rubber seal, and reconnect the supply line—usually in under two hours.
What maintenance does a pressure-assist toilet require?
They need very little upkeep. Because there is no flapper, chain, or fill valve assembly inside the pressure vessel, common leak points are eliminated. Periodic tasks include: • Cleaning the bowl with non-abrasive cleaner. • Checking the supply stop and hose for drips. • Inspecting the pressure vessel every few years for proper charge (our team can do this during an annual plumbing inspection). If the toilet runs continuously, the cartridge seal inside the vessel may need replacement—an inexpensive 15-minute service.
