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 conservationist 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!
