Pressure toilets & pressure loss

rick123 · May 2, 2009

Are there any pressure toilets that work decently when there is a loss of pressure?
Sometimes hurricanes can knock out the water utilities, and then we flush by filling the tank from the pool.
In this case multiple flushes are OK, as long as everything goes down.

NO
They are worthless without at least 25 PSI

And you can't use a bucket to fill the tank.
You would be SOL

Thanks. So anyone in a hurricane zone, be sure to have at least one gravity-fed toilet!

A good gravity toilet is rated the same as a pressure assist.
So, with only 20 PSI, you would still be getting a great flush.
