How does a vacuum assist toilet work?

Will dish soap unclog a toilet?
If you need to kick the unclogging process up a notch, borrow some dish soap from the kitchen and squeeze a generous amount, about a 1/4 cup should do, into the toilet bowl. Let the soap sit for 5 to 10 minutes so it has time to move down the drain and reach the clog.
Are vacuum assist toilets good?
Vacuum-assist toilets do well in lab tests. In clearing solid waste, they outperform most gravity types, but don’t do as well as many pressure-assist models. No sweat. Like pressure-assist models, vacuum-assist toilets store water in an inner tank, so condensation won’t form outside the porcelain tank.
How much water pressure does a pressure-assist toilet need?
25-40 psi
Pressure-assist toilets require a minimum water pressure of 25-40 psi to operate well. It is very important that there is a proper match between the valve and the bowl when purchased. One benefit of a power-assist flush is that the water is contained inside the pressure tank, which is inside the china toilet tank.
