What is a Flapperless Toilet?
Flapperless Toilet: The only gravity-flush toilet that
controls water flow with the use of patented “tipping
bucket” technology,
eliminating rubber flappers and flexible seals in the toilet
tank.
There has been some confusion in the industry regarding
flapperless toilets. A number of manufacturers with unconventional
flappers are attempting to define their flexible seal as “flapperless”.
Any flexible seal controlling the flow of water from the
tank to the bowl can eventually deteriorate and leak. As
a result, the user will waste water or, alternatively,
have to replace the flexible seal, possibly increasing
the consumed water amount per flush and compromising water
conservation gains – something that is crucial we
avoid, given the growing need to save water.
Standard toilet designs contain rubber flush balls that
can leak due to improper seating or normal “wear
and tear” from
corrosive minerals in the water. This is not the case with
a “true” flapperless
toilet, which has NO sealing devices that control the flow
of water from the tank to the bowl. A “true” flapperless
toilet eliminates all such sealing devices and resultant
concerns for the water conservation industry. In the Niagara
Flapperless™ tank, water is self-contained
in either a 1.28- or 1.6-gallon “tipping bucket”.
The Niagara Flapperless™ “Tipping Bucket” technology
contains no flush balls or flappers. It’s virtually
maintenance-free and will never leak.
As a conservation-minded company, it has been an ongoing
challenge to keep the user from unintentionally or intentionally
converting a 1.28- or 1.6-gallon per flush (gpf) toilet
to a higher amount of consumed water per flush after the
flexible seal has been replaced. A “true”
flapperless toilet addresses this issue. The user will
not have the responsibility of detecting possible leaks
from a flexible seal within the tank and the additional
challenge of locating the right replacement part – simply
because with a Niagara Flapperless™,
there is no maintenance involved, and no leaky seals to
replace – EVER!
A “true” flapperless toilet will remain a permanent
1.28- or 1.6-gallon per flush fixture!
