A high efficiency toilet assembly comprising a vacuum-assist container positioned at a toilet tank interior; a connecting tube fluidly coupled to a trapway between a sump trap and a lower trap and extending to an interior upper end of the container, wherein upon initiation of a flush cycle, a lowering flush water level in the toilet tank assembly creates reduced pressure in a container upper end, the reduced pressure configured to aid a siphon flow of bowl contents through the trapway, and wherein the toilet bowl comprises one or more lateral rim outlets positioned towards an upper perimeter of a toilet bowl interior surface, and the one or more lateral rim outlets are configured to direct flush water in a lateral direction circumferentially about the bowl interior surface to effectively clean the bowl.
A toilet assembly may include a toilet tank that houses a container, a toilet bowl, and a trapway. The container may include a vacuum chamber that has a closed upper end. An air transfer opening may be positioned between a region exterior to the vacuum chamber and the interior of the vacuum chamber. A connecting tube may provide flow communication between the container and the trapway. When the toilet assembly is between flush cycles the upper end of the vacuum chamber and the trapway may contain pressurized air, and the flush water level in the vacuum chamber is above the air transfer opening. During a flush cycle, the flush water level in the vacuum chamber may drop below the air transfer opening, allowing flow communication of air between the region exterior to the vacuum chamber and the vacuum chamber.
