How Siphonic Toilet Works?

By pulling the lever or pushing the flush button, the flush valve opens that lets the tank water flow into the bowl. In the case of the Siphonic Toilet, you will see water rising in the bowl and then sinking rapidly into the bowl outlet. What actually happens is that the water flows faster from the tank and tries to exit the bowl immediately. This happens due to the large flush valve diameter than the trap way.

Just when water exits through the trap way, it forms a vacuum by displacing the air inside. When it flows over the kink in trap way is when the siphon begins to work. You can notice this when water in the toilet bowl stops rising and starts decreasing. In some Siphonic toilets, you can see a swirl, but the functioning principle is the same.

This swirl is because of the Siphonic jet present in the Siphonic toilet. Its like a gentle push which captures the optimal performance of water by using minimum of energy. It maintains the water level and cleans the toilet bowl thoroughly.

The siphon, at its ideal state, is so strong that all the heavy solid waste get sucked out with the water. At the end of the flush, you will hear a babbling sound, this is when the vacuum is broken, and it stops the siphon. The bowl then gets filled with leftover water and a refill in the tank starts for the next flush.

So, this is how a Siphonic toilet works.
