Sloan Flushmate Curve
There are many benefits to Flushmate performance:
1. At the start of the flushing cycle, water delivery is maximized to produce a powerful pushing action.
2. Toward the end of the cycle, the remaining water forms a large water surface area.
3. The entire cycle is approximately 5 seconds.
Sloan Flushmate Drain Carry Performance
The graph shows that as water volume is decreased, drainline carry capability also decreases - except for the toilet combinations which are achieved by flushometer tanks. Test conducted according to ANSI standard procedures as discussed in APSE Research Report 91-01.
Sloan Flushmate Advanced Bowl Design
Flushmate-equipped bowls are hydraulically designed to "push" contents out of the trapway instead of gravity siphoning. Siphoning requires a more complicated trapway, impeding performance. Flushmate's trapway is simple, only needing one bend.
Flushmate-equipped water closets eliminate the need to double flush because the trapway design has fewer bends.
Toilets with Flushmate use a siphon-jet bowl to meet and exceed ANSI/ASME A112.19.2M and CSA B-45 performance requirements.
Sloan Flushmate Trapway
Flushmate-equipped water closets have trapways that are specifically designed to allow waste to be extracted earlier in the flush, unlike gravity trapways, which require a choke area or siphon bend that ultimately restricts flow.
Sloan Flushmate Water Surface Area
Flushmate-equipped toilets offer the largest water surface area (10" x 12" / 254 mm x 305 mm) comparable to older (3.5 gallon) models.
A large water surface in the bowl reduces odors and keeps the bowl cleaner by reducing the dry surface area, thereby reducing housekeeping chores.
Sloan Flushmate Non-Sweating Tank
Water is contained in the Flushmate system. The result is a non-sweating toilet that keeps the floor around the toilet dry.
The additional cost of an insuliner tank is not necessary.
Flushmate + WaterSense
Look for the new WaterSense label on Flushmate toilets.
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), makes it easy for Americans to save water and protect the environment. As part of the WaterSense labeling plan, home products such as bathroom faucets and toilets will boast the WaterSense logo - but only if they perform at least 20 percent more efficiently than their less-efficient counterparts.
Flushmate makes it easy by meeting and exceeding the WaterSense criteria - giving you exceptional efficiency and true high performance.
What Makes Flushmate Pressure-Assist Toilets Flush Better?
Pressure. Gravity-fed toilets are designed to siphon the waste out of the bowl, while Flushmate units are designed to push the contents. How To Install a Flushmate Pressure-Assist Toilet
Prior to installing a Flushmate Pressure Assist Toilet, it is important to flush the water supply line. Beyond that, the installation procedure is the same as with any other toilet and requires a minimum 3/8" supply line. In fact, Flushmate Pressure-Assist Toilets are perfect for residential and commercial applications where the static pressure range is between 20 P.S.I. to 125 P.S.I. for Flushmate III and between 25 P.S.I. to 125 P.S.I. for Flushmate IV.

Can You Put A Sloan Flushmate System In An Existing Toilet?
No. The Sloan Flushmate system will only work in a toilet that was originally equipped with a Flushmate system. A gravity bowl with Flushmate inside will splash excessively. What Is The Minimum Pressure Requirement?
The Flushmate 1.0 GPF requires line pressure of 35 PSI or greater. The 1.6 GPF and 1.28 GPF models require line pressure of 20 PSI or greater. How Do I Know What Series Of Flushmate System I Have?
The series number isn't always on the Flushmate tank. You will need to compare the pictures on FlushmateRepairParts.com and find the one that looks like your tank. Where Can I Find My Tank Number?
The tank number is either stamped on the bottom side of the tank lid or somewhere inside the china tank. It will be stamped with ink or imprinted into the china. Why Does The Sloan Flushmate System Go In A Different Manufacturer's Toilet?
What Kind of Maintenance is Required?
There are no preventative maintenance requirements. If you need to troubleshoot your system, read your Owner's Guide for help. Where Can I Purchase Flushmate Systems and Flushmate Parts?

- Sloan Valve Company's FLUSHMATE Division receives ASPE Award for technological breakthrough in pressure-assist toilet flush design.
- The FLUSHMATE Division of Sloan Valve Company was awarded the ASPE Industry Award for Outstanding Service to the Advancement of Plumbing Engineering Technology, according to Stanley Wolfson, Executive Director of ASPE. The American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) presents the award once every two years to the company that best promotes the advancement of the plumbing industry.
- Pressure-assist technology helps toilets deliver performance consumers want ... technology rated #1 by consumers and consumer publications.
- Americans want toilets that perform better. Since the law now requires each flush to use only 1.6 gallons of water (down from 3.5 gallons), articles and letters appearing throughout the United States are focused on one thing: the new toilets do not deliver the same performance as the old ones. And that has consumers frustrated.
- College cuts water usage by 25% per month with FLUSHMATE® pressure-assist toilets.
- By adopting an aggressive water conservation standard, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA, was able to reduce water usage at its facilities by 25% per month. The school has eight research institutes and houses 900 students and approximately 250 other employees and faculty on campus.
- Flushmate-Equipped Toilets Ranked High In Overall Performance By Consumer Reports And MaP Testing Program
- Recent independent tests conducted by Consumer Reports and the Maximum Performance (MaP) Testing Program revealed that toilet models equipped with Flushmate pressure-assist operating systems demonstrated outstanding overall performance compared to other models.
- Report Confirms Advantages of Flushmate
- A new report confirms what Flushmate customers have known all along - the installation of pressure-assist toilets with Flushmate flushing systems can save thousands of dollars while significantly boosting overall water efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
