How toilets work

The toilet works mainly by using the siphon principle, and siphoning refers to the use of the pressure difference between the water column to let the water rise, and then flow to a lower place, until the water surface in the container to form an equal height, the water will stop flowing. When the toilet is discharged, its internal water level exceeds the high point of the S-shaped bend of the toilet will appear siphon phenomenon will be excrement and water sucked away to the water becomes less, the siphon phenomenon disappears, leaving a small amount of water to form a water seal.

To understand the working principle of the toilet, you need to figure out the function of its components, the main functional components of the toilet are float, inlet pipe, seepage pipe, outlet pipe, lever, water plug and water release knob.

When we press the release button to pump water to the toilet, the button pulls the lever, the water plug will be pulled up by the lever, the water in the tank will naturally flow out, when there is no water in the tank, the water plug without water buoyancy support will automatically fall down to plug the outlet, the same, the float ball without buoyancy, will fall, pulling the water into the water plug will pull it up, so that water can enter the tank.
