Washdown is the same principal is any sink with a P trap. you just put water in it to push stuff down and out. it has a trap to prevent odors. if you remove the stopper from your sink and look down and add water, you'll notice the consistent water level
We have siphonic toilets. they are more complicated. the trap is designed to siphon all the matter. it allows the water to climb UP and then fall, spilling over the curves in the trap and letting air assist. the narrow diameter causes the problem
the toilets doo drain the water runs down the side of the toilet and it pushes the old water out of the toilet and the new water replaces the old water it does drain
one time I went to some nasty holiday inn and they had low flow toilets low flow toilets are stupid because they take 2 minutes to refill and don't flush that good in the end you use more water trying to flush I clogged up the toilet it was like
1cm from overflowing i'm not kidding I had to call the stupid plumber that must have been in the mushroom kingdom or something because it took an hour to get up to us mabey eveybody else was having toilet trouble and he made a big mess and fixed it
water was every where the next day I clogged it again I just left it like that because I was checking out that day anyway don't even get me started on the problems we had on are cruise!
The reason it dosen't drain out is because it is non syphonic, so instead of pulling the water out(which is what syphonic action is-in which it pulls the water out untill water in the bowl is low enough to allow air to enter the trapway through the bowl outlet-producing that every day drain gurgle of a syphonic toilet, note: syphonic action is caused by air pressure in the trapway when it fills up with water), it pushes the water out.
We have them here in England. They clean the bowl better and it's faster, it pushes the water out it doesn't pull everything after it so it gets stuck halfway through the building. Pushing it out means the water behind it can push it further down the pipe which is much more effective.
Actually. Trust me i've lived in England all my life and I had to flush once. American toilets have water so high you get a huge splash wen u do a dump!
The reason why our toilets are so high tech is because your goverment spends alot of money making the toilets as cool as they can be. We even pay a special toilet tax , I was very choked when i went to Los Angles to see that your toilets are not so high tech as ours and even more choked when I heard that your govourment spends its money on other more un inportande maters like health care and education. Face it Dylan23J your and 3:d world country
What happens is the dirty water goes out 1 pipe whilst the new water pours in. It's meant to be done discretely. The water does get clean afta every flush!
Yeah in England all the toilets flush like that! It's better than U.S Toilets the U.S toilets have a too high water level! Don;t worry toilet's like this do refill with clean water but in a magical way!
So what does this mean? It means the turd will dance on the surface but not leave? GROSS!
This model would not be a good idea in the nursing department since they seem to be the ones calling the maintenence department and housekeeping to unclog and clean the mess in fact,their toilets would need to have a grinder installed to rid their vicious blocks of s***.
Haha. This has to be a spoof or else your ignorance is really funny?! Most toilets around the Western world work exactly like this! In fact, America, Canada and some in Japan are about the only places where they don't.
Im sorry m8, I realise I was being a dick last night, had a bad day and just watched the "Boston Aqua teen hunger force bomb scare" vid and went of on a tantrum (hence the ignorance comment above). Plus us Swedes are fiercly protective of our toilets... :P

Ok, Realised I was a bit mean here, ignorance just pisses me of... Here hows it works:
The water you see before flush gets displaced by the "new water".
Didnt you have a #1 or 2 during your stay in Sweden ?
Youd notice how it works ;)
(This method of toilet design saves loads of water btw, compared to the consumer crazy americans :P) (Also you dont get the splashes... :P)
