Abstract
A water reservoir tank storing a primary body of water for release to a toilet bowl for flushing is associated with 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. A predetermined time delay is introduced between start of the flushing action and discharge of water from the pressure tank. The pressure tank is automatically discharged and recharged during each flushing cycle.
