Abstract

The invention relates to a pressure-flushing system ( 100 ) for toilet bowls, comprising a cistern mounting ( 500 ) and a drain module ( 200 ), said drain module ( 200 ) comprising a vertically oriented pressurized water tank ( 501 ) and a drain pipe ( 502 ), a hydraulic drain valve ( 18 ) and a DC pipe interrupter ( 5 ). The drain pipe ( 502 ) is mounted vertically in the pressurized water tank ( 501 ) and projects from the bottom of the pressurized water tank ( 201 ) for a flow connection with the toilet bowl. The drain module ( 200 ) is retained by the cistern mounting ( 500 ), which also carries a gas accumulator ( 19 ). The cistern mounting ( 500 ) has a water-carrying design and has a water connection ( 8 ) for connection to a drinking water mains or similar, and connecting channels ( 507, 510 ) that fluidically connect the pressurized water tank ( 501 ) and the gas accumulator. The pressure-flushing system ( 100 ) complies with standard EN 1717, is compact and easy to install. It allows pressure-wave flushing with little water and low noise emission.
