Abstract
A water reservoir tank storing a primary body of water for release to a toilet bowl for flushing houses a pressure tank that stores a minor amount of water at a pressure considerably higher than that of the primary body and is discharged during flushing to join the water released from the reservoir tank and impart increased overall energy to the water in the bowl. The pressure tank is automatically discharged and recharged during each flushing cycle.
