under pressure

“Ingenious” is the word Wilson uses to describe Sloan’s Flushmate pressure-assist toilet system. The high-performance, low-consumption system harnesses pressure from the water supply line to generate the energy needed to complete the flush. The unit can be retrofitted to most manufacturers’ standard, gravity-fed toilets. Sloan Flushmate, 800.580.7141; www.flushmate.com
