The toilet bowl in the lower discharge opening in communication between the upper and lower chamber regions. The tilting bowl defines a fluid-receiving volume, and is mounted for pivoting movement relative to the toilet bowl between a first position with the fluid-receiving volume at least partially overlapping the toilet bowl and containing the lower discharge opening, and a second position permitting flow of fluid from the toilet bowl, through the lower discharge opening, and from the fluid-receiving volume into the lower chamber region. At standby, the tilting bowl, in the first position, retains a first volume of fluid sufficient to engage the lower discharge opening and restrict flow of gas therethrough. In response to supply water, the tilting bowl starts to tilt to discharge its content when the volume of the fluid reaches a predetermined weight or fluid level.
