Introduction
A vacuum toilet saves up to 80% of drinking water per flush compared to a traditional toilet because it uses negative pressure -rather than water-to flush. To ensure an adequate supply of drinking water in the Netherlands, it is important to use drinking water wisely and economicial; a vacuum toilet makes that possible!
How does a vacuum toilet system work?
A vacuum toilet works differently from a traditional, gravity toilet. Wastewater is drawn from the toilet through a network of thin pipes into a vacuum tank and then transported away. This requires less water, resulting in significant water savings.
Since drainage does not depend on a slope, the system can be installed in virtually any direction. This makes the sewer system easy to install and adapt, and offers installation options that would often be complex, time-consuming, or costly with conventional systems.
Modern vacuum toilets are quiet, reliable, and save thousands of liters of water per year, which makes it truly sustainable!
Applications in buildings
Vacuum toilets offer many advantages within new sanitation concepts for homes, office buildings, commercial facilities, hospitals, and supermarkets. Installation is flexible, no free-flowing pipes are required, and the system saves up to 8,000 liters of drinking water per person per year. In buildings with high foot traffic, this results in enormous potential savings in water consumption. Examples include:
- Offices
- Hospitals
- Train stations
- Airports
- Supermarkets
For supermarkets, a vacuum drainage system for refrigeration units is also available. Unlike conventional drains in or under the floor, this system discharges condensate through a thin network of pipes above or on the ceiling. This makes it possible to reconfigure a store layout in a very short time (often overnight) without any loss of revenue.

How much does a vacuum toilet cost?
The total cost of a vacuum system depends on various factors: the type of vacuum toilet, the pump or extraction unit, the existing infrastructure, and the specific application.

Vacuum toilets and Vacuflow®, the ideal combination
Vacuflow® is the clean and efficient alternative for eco-friendly sewage systems. Compared to conventional sewer systems, vacuum sewer systems are significantly simpler and cheaper to install. If vacuum toilets are also connected to the vacuum sewer system, significant water savings can be achieved! In addition, the Vacuflow® system is leak-free, and the sumps can be monitored remotely via Vaculink®, our online monitoring tool.
A sustainable solution for the future
Vacuum toilets can save up to 8,000 liters of drinking water per person per year. Given the housing challenge and the increasingly scarce availability of clean drinking water, vacuum toilets are the solution for reducing drinking water consumption from 128 to 100 liters per person per day. Significant savings can be achieved, especially in buildings with many toilets: in a building with 52 toilets and 17 urinals, the annual water savings are equivalent to the volume of two Olympic-sized swimming pools.
