Theory of Operation (cont.)

Flush Cycle

The flush cycle consists of the following steps:

When either trip button is pressed, an electronic signal is sent to the circuit board (which is safely housed within the pump).

This triggers a timing sequence that turns on the pump motor for a specific length of time. The length of time depends upon which trip button was pressed. The pump runs longer for a long flush.

The pump sends pressurized water to the front jet and rim through the connecting hoses.

This initiates the siphon action in the bowl, and thoroughly flushes the side walls.

As the water in the tank lowers during the pumping action, the fill valve float drops.

This turns on the fill valve to refill the tank.

While the tank is filling, water is also sent through the refill tube to return the bowl to the proper trap seal level.

After the pump turns off, the fill valve continues sending water to both the tank and bowl (through the refill tube).

The fill valve turns off when water reaches the proper water line in the tank.
