  • the permanent magnet is arranged in the core of the solenoid.
  • arranging the permanent magnet in the core has the advantage that the play of forces is more advantageous than when the magnet is arranged in the coil. Placing a magnet in the core runs counter to the prejudice that magnets lose their magnetism under shock load.

  • a flush amount for flushing the toilet generally lies in the range of 4-6 litres of water.
  • the collecting reservoir which comprises at least 10 litres of volume, is therefore able to store sufficient greywater for at least two successive flushes.
