 Chicago Faucets
Flushometer-tanks incorporate a closed vessel which traps air that becomes compressed when water is pushed into the vessel by the force in the supply system.
As the contents of the main vessel are discharged refill water from the supply also starts flowing into the vessel and, as internal pressure drops to almost zero, the air inducer becomes activated and draws new outside air into the vessel.
Once the bowl's raceways are full of flowing water discharged from the flushometer-tank, flow noise is a function of the specific bowl's trap and raceway design.
