An unused toilet slowly dries out. Once its water seal evaporates, sewer gas and insects come up the drain into an empty house. FlushSitter flushes it for you every week, checks that every flush really happened, and tells you when something is wrong.
Get one when it's ready How it worksIn prototype testing, fall 2026.
Every toilet and drain holds a little water in its trap. That water is all that keeps the sewer line out of your house, and in a closed-up home it simply evaporates.
In a hot, closed-up house, such as a winter home in the desert left for the summer, a trap seal can dry out in a few weeks.
Once the seal is gone, the house fills with sewer odor, and drain flies and other pests have an open path inside.
A caretaker visit every week costs money and gets forgotten. FlushSitter does it on schedule, and keeps a record.
FlushSitter clips over the side of the tank. Its arm sits under the lid, and the electronics stay outside, dry.
Once a week by default, at the hour you choose. Its arm lifts the flapper chain, just like the handle does.
A float in the tank confirms the water actually went down, and then that the tank filled back up. If it didn't, FlushSitter tries again harder, then tells you.
Every flush, scheduled or by a person, goes to a private dashboard over the home's Wi-Fi, along with the battery level.
The point isn't only to flush. It's to know the house is fine, and to know quickly when it isn't.
Usually means the water was shut off, or the fill valve has failed. That's worth knowing before the seal dries.
The arm pulled but the water didn't move: a slipped chain or a stuck flapper.
Flushes by people are counted separately, so you can see when the cleaner or the caretaker actually came.
A daily check-in, so a FlushSitter that goes quiet is noticed too.
Designed for months of being ignored.
