5. Water enters through rim punchings and jets placed in an up-leg of the rear trap, filling the
trapway and creating an instant siphon action without rise of water level. The result is quick
water withdrawal. Large water surface provides an efficient and clean operation. With quiet
flushing and moderate cost, this is the most popular residential model.

6. Water enters through diagonal punching around the rim of the bowl, creating a vortex that
draws the water down into the rear trap with a swirling action that scours the walls of the
bowl. Water strikes two parallel ridges and folds over forming a jet, producing siphonic action.
Large water surface provides a very efficient and clean process, and the flushing is extremely
quiet. This model is mostly of one-piece construction with a low profile. Expensive.

7. Water enters through an open rim, as though a bucket of water were dumped into the bowl,
filling the front trapway and creating siphon action. This model provides quick removal of
water with minimum water rise. Small water surface makes the model more vulnerable to

soiling and clogging. This is the least efficient and most noisy type but lowest in cost.
