What Is an Up Flush Toilet?
An up flush toilet is a toilet that is designed to send waste material upwards to a larger drain system. These types of toilets are used in applications where no downward draining plumbing is available. They are more expensive than traditional toilets and operate in a different fashion. A toilet of this type is often used in basements and other below ground situations. Several types of toilet can be classified as an up flush toilet. The most common type is an all-in-one unit that has an electric motor that grinds up solid waste before pumping it up a drain pipe to the structure’s main drain. These toilets are specially designed; a traditional toilet can not be used for this application. Called a macerating up flush toilet, these types are the most common and least expensive up flush systems.
