The technology of the Griffon Flush System

An invention by Claudius Griffon

In the 1950s, Claudius Griffon conceived an innovative alternative to traditional flush systems.
His goal: to design a system that is more reliable, more efficient, and more durable, capable of delivering consistent flushing quality while controlling water consumption.

From this idea was born the Griffon hydroflush, a patented hydropneumatic technology that would become the technical DNA of the brand and exclusively equip the L’Original Griffon tank.

Technical operation of the hydroflush around 4 key steps

  • 1. Use of the water network pressure

    The water network pressure feeds the tank and compresses the air reserve contained in the Hydroflush tank.

  • 2. Pressurizing the air reservoir

    The compressed air stores energy. This combination of air + pressurized water forms the core of the Griffon hydropneumatic system.

  • 3. Operation by dosing lever

    When flushing, using the dosing lever, the accumulated pressure is released in a controlled manner.

  • 4. Instant pressure restoration

    The air pressure immediately transfers its energy to the water, causing a powerful, even, precise flush without unnecessary splashing. This principle ensures an effective flush from the first activation, with excellent user comfort.
