@afterquestion: How does a toilet 🚽 flush with no pump or motor? The secret is a siphon. Water rises through a hidden curved pipe, then pulls itself out of the bowl. In 60 seconds, discover how the handle, chain, and flapper release the tank water, why the bowl empties so quickly, what causes the final gurgle, and why a small pool of water remains to block sewer smells. Welcome to "How Does It Work?", a series explaining the everyday things around you in just one minute. What should we explain next?

On European toilets there are two flush buttons incorporated in the lid. One for four litres of water and one for 6 litres of water. Ecosystems in use.
