It is common to use an airplane toilet during air travel, but do you know how an airplane toilet works? And what happens if you accidentally press the vacuum button? Let’s find out.
How do airplane toilets work?
Airplane toilets are completely different from ground toilets. They use a vacuum system instead of water. When you flush, the vacuum system sucks all the dirt into a special tank. This tank is emptied regularly.
What is vacuum flushing system?
Vacuum flushing systems are commonly used in flight toilets. This system uses vacuum (section) instead of water. This means that air pressure, not water, is used to expel dirt from the toilet. This method is also very useful in case of lack of space in flight and to save water.
When you use a flight toilet, you have to press a button on the toilet, which is called a vacuum button. When pressed, the vacuum technology installed in the flight’s toilet system expels the dirt and cleans the toilet. It is important to press this button, so that the cleaning can be done properly.
Why shouldn’t you press the vacuum button while sitting in a flight toilet?
It is said that in an airplane toilet, one should press the vacuum button only after getting up from the seat and closing it. Due to this, there is a danger of internal dirt coming out due to air pressure, apart from this you may also have to face problems due to vacuum tension.
