Distinctive in shape and seating height, similar to that which you are accustomed to from your toilet at home Our toilet display includes 4 models, each offering individual comfort levels to suit your wishes and meet your needs. To recap differences between the various models include, the size of the waste-holding tank and the flush-water tank, the type of pump installed and whether or not the waste-holding tank comes with a level indicator. Porta Potti Advantages at a Glance Flush Water Tank - a mixture of water and flush-water fluid such as Aqua Rinse Plus is poured directly into the flush-water top tank. This mixture is designed to clean the bowl and helps prolong the life of the seals after each use. There are 3 types of flushing mechanism; piston and bellows, both a kind of manual pump that require minimum effort, and a push button electric flush. Electric flush of course offers the most convenience (sorry couldn't resist) but in truth it really offers most benefit where physical limitations make it necessary due to illness, injury or disability. Electric flush carries a higher cost which for the average user is difficult to justify, given the ease of use and effectiveness of piston and bellows pumps.
