⚫️ What is a flash tank?
In general, a flush tank is a container that holds water inside. You can use this stored water when needed. In this way, you pull the lever and the volume of water is discharged at once and with pressure. Of course, the function of the new models is with a button instead of a lever.
What is the use of flash tank?
One-time flushing with high pressure cleans the toilet bowl and flushes waste to the well. You might ask, why don't we clean and drain the bowl ourselves with a hose? Because the water pressure of the hose is low. In this case, you have to waste a large amount of water. But the high-pressure flushing of the tank is fast and less water is consumed. On the other hand, all the seams and points of the toilet bowl are cleaned well.
⚫️ What is the difference between a flush tank and a siphon?
Sometimes the term siphon is mistakenly used instead of flush tank. (You've probably heard the term siphoning!) These expressions are common. But from a technical point of view, it is wrong to use two words interchangeably. But the siphon is a curved pipe that is used in the sewage piping system. In this way, it keeps some water in its bend, so that the smell of sewage does not leak into the building.
⚫️ Is it necessary to use a flash tank?
In today's buildings, yes! Sanitary evacuation is a necessity in the space of houses. In the past, a device called Aftabeh was used for evacuation. But these days, all kinds of flash tanks can be purchased. It doesn't matter if you use a foreign toilet or an Iranian one. Flash tanks suitable for all kinds of needs are available in the market.
