How do rear discharge toilets work?
They work by very quickly releasing water from the tank into the bowl which in turn pushes waste out, followed by the water. The waste goes first and is followed by water, creating a powerful flush and longer drain line carry.
How do you install a rear outlet on a toilet?

How does a toilet with a pump work?
The toilet bowl has a siphon that is attached to a pipe with a u-bend. The pipe delivers the sewage to the main sewer system. Upon flushing, water and waste exit the toilet and air rushes in (the “flush” sound). The bowl then refills with water from the tank.
What causes toilet backflow?
Unlike a backup, which can be caused by clogs, backflow occurs when there’s a sudden drop in water pressure, usually in your potable (clean) water line. That drop in pressure in one part of the system causes the water in other nearby parts of the system to start flowing backward because of backpressure.
Where does the waste from a macerator toilet go?
The macerating unit softens and churns up waste that passes through the pump. This makes it easier to dispose of. When you flush your toilet (with a macerator pump attached to it), waste passes through the pump instead of moving directly to the outflow pipes.
