GRIFFON, LEGENDARY WATER CISTERNS

A thouroughly modern myth

The expertise surrounding the Griffon hydro flush has always been highly specialized. Today, the Griffon collections continue to benefit from advanced technology, such as digital machining.

Precious materials

They are made using quality materials: 20/10 steel cisterns, natural rubber and chromium-plated brass seals. All of the main pieces made from metal, notably those worked in brass and better quality materials with recognized properties such as anti-corrosion, deco etc... are produced at the Griffon factory where everything is subject to careful inspection.
The soldered joints are pressure tested up to 18 bars. And finally, the products are assembled and packaged with painstaking precision.

Made to last

The Griffon system is based on a hydropneumatic principle which renders its flushing capacity 50 to 200 times more effective (according to the pressure) than a traditional system.
The evacuation power of the hydro flush depends on the amount of natural energy accumulated in the cistern, which is a result of the mixture of the pressure exerted by the water system on the air present in the cistern. When the chain is pulled, the expansion of air forces the water out. This is the hydropneumatic principle (hydro because of the action of the water and pneumatic because of the action of the air).
In fact, the hydro flush is consistently powerful thanks to this automatic replacement of air. Each time the toilet is flushed, air is automatically re-injected into the cistern; the power is maintained as the air dissolves into the water. Indeed, built on a hydropneumatic principle, the Griffon hydro flush works in quite the same way as a Water Hammer Arrestor; it absorbs the shock of the water in the pipe and stops the banging, which in turn protects the installation.
Kinetic pressure and energy add to the quality and speed at which the system is emptied out.
