Can flushmate be installed in any toilet?
Can I Install Flushmate® in my existing toilet? No! FLUSHMATE cannot be retrofitted to an existing gravity bowl. Bowls designed to work with FLUSHMATE harness the energy FLUSHMATE delivers to the bowl to create a "pushing" action for the waste.
What is the purpose of a flushmate?
The Flushmate system traps air as it fills with water, uses the water supply line pressure to compress the trapped air, forces water into the bowl, and effectively pushes waste out.
How does the flushmate cartridge work?
The FLUSHMATE® system traps air and as it fills with water, it uses the water supply line pressure to compress the trapped air inside. The compressed air is what forces the water into the bowl, so instead of the “pulling” or siphon action of a gravity unit, the pressure-assist unit “pushes” waste out.
How long does a flushmate cartridge last?
The current unit should last at least 10 years.
Is power flush worth it toilet?
With less flushes you have less wear and tear on the working parts of the toilet. These toilets produce natural scrubbing action to keep bowl clean, and results in less “toilet brush” cleaning which in time eats away at the enamel. Simply put, power flush toilets are built to last!
Should there be water in the tank with a FLUSHMATE?

How does a pressurized toilet work?
A pressure-assisted toilet uses a secondary tank, located in its main toilet tank to create additional air pressure to aid toilet flushing while maintaining more water in the toilet bowl. The toilet is exceptionally stronger than traditional, gravity flow models and flushes more waste using less water.
