Abstract

A flush valve assembly for a toilet, the flush valve assembly comprising an electrically-operated flush valve (33) for opening and closing a passage to a waste receiving area and a controller communicating with a water inlet valve (65) and the flush valve (33), the controller opening and closing the water inlet valve (65) and controlling a position of the flush valve (33) in accordance with a position of a flush actuating mechanism. During the flush cycle, the controller begins opening the flush valve (33) for a first predetermined period of time, then slops opening the flush valve (33) for a second predetermined period of time and then continues opening the flush valve (33) until it reaches the full open position.
