I got asked today by someone from Arizona about putting a pressure assist in an old Kohler toilet. He wanted to switch out a gravity tank with a pressure assist tank. He was telling me that the pressurized air would produce a great amount of water. A huge amount in fact.
I tried to tell him that they only produce 1.6 gallons at the most, and that the bowl is a different configeration that is designed for the push the pressure has. It's not for a siphon bowl. They are not gor gravity bowls.
Any bowl before 1992 requires at least 3.5 gallons, and pre 1985 5.0 gallons or more. Putting a pressure assist that only outputs 1.6 gallons is a waste of time and money. If you want a pressure assist toilet, you buy it as a set. A matched bowl designed for it, and the tank. Kohler makes a nice pressure assist toilet with a Flushmate.
K-3493 Kohler Highline with pressure assist. Not to be mistaken for their gravity Highline with a different bowl and tank.
