Abstract
A flush toilet (10) is operated by a flushometer (14) which passes water to a water chamber (36). The chamber is sized to assure that the bottom (48) of the toilet bowl and waste outlet (22) are resealed against sewer gas backup. The chamber has outlets (30) and (32) that direct water to a jet outlet (20) and a rim rinse outlet (21) to flush the toilet and provides drainage of water after the flushometer is closed to reseal the toilet bowl (12).
