The larger flapper-flush valve is used on toilets that use less water, such as 1.6 US gal (6.1 L) per flush. Some have a bell inlet for a faster more effective flush. A problem with the valve type flush mechanism is that it invariably starts to leak after a couple of years use due to wear and tear of the valve, particles, etc. trapped in the valve.
When the handle of a flush toilet with a tank (British, cistern) is turned, a discharge mechanism is activated by means of a rod or chain. The mechanism may be a flapper valve, which is designed to sink more slowly than the water - allowing the water to exit to the toilet bowl below, so that the tank may empty.
The lever arm connecting the siphon plate to the flush chain was often fixed directly to a pivot on the siphon rather than the cistern, so the arrangement of the siphons was highly flexible: flush pipes could be fitted in the middle or side of the cubicles; flush chains could be arranged at the back or front of the trough, or through the bottom ...
A narrow passageway leads from the main water supply into the pressure chamber. It is the narrowness of this passage that meters the flow by slowing repressurizing of the pressure chamber after the action of a flush. The diaphragm technology allows the flush valve to open and let water into the bowl. A main cylinder valve operates up and down.

Fit slowly closing valves. Toilet fill valves are available in a quiet fill type that closes quietly. Non-slam check valves do not rely on fluid flow to close and will do so before the water flow reaches significant velocity. High pipeline pressure rating (does not reduce the effect but protects against damage).

A low-flush toilet (or low-flow toilet or high-efficiency toilet) is a flush toilet that uses significantly less water than traditional high-flow toilets. Before the early 1990s in the United States, standard flush toilets typically required at least 3.5 gallons (13.2 litres) per flush and they used float valves that often leaked, increasing their total water use.
