'''A pour flush toilet is like a regular Cistern Flush Toilet (U.5) except that the water is poured in by the user, instead of coming from the cistern above. When the water supply is not continuous, any Cistern Flush Toilet can become a pour flush toilet.'''
Just like a [[Cistern Flush Toilet| Cistern Flush Toilet]], the pour flush toilet has a water seal that prevents odours and flies from coming back up the pipe. Water is poured into the bowl to flush the toilet of excreta; approximately 2 to 3 L is usually sufficient. The quantity of water and the force of the water (pouring from a height often helps) must be sufficient to move the excreta up and over the curved water seal.
Both pedestals and squatting pans can be used in the pour flush mode. Due to demand, local manufacturers have become increasingly efficient at mass-producing affordable pour flush toilets and pans.
