Additional Information
For us, the primary consideration was avoiding disruption on the floor below and a possible catastrophic leak in the main electrical service and emergency generating plant, but there are many other benefits associated with vacuum waste systems, including:
- Improved hygiene through the containment of wastewater, prevention of piping leaks, and elimination of water vaporization during flushes
- Less maintenance: reduction in main line blockages
- Flexibility: The vacuum waste piping network is typically smaller in diameter than traditional vent piping, and it can be installed horizontally or vertically because it does not require continuous slope.
- Energy efficiency: The toilet uses 0.5 gallon of water per flush. The traditional toilet flushometer is 1.28 gpf.
In Europe, such systems have been used for several decades, but they are relatively new to the U.S. market. So far, they are popular choices among department stores and prison facilities, but they are gaining traction in the medical field. At this time, we are considering these systems for several projects in design.
