Okay - help me with this vacuum breaker. What does it do? I've been considering an expansion tank to eliminate the CLUNK every time someone uses the toilet in the middle of the night. Is it the same kind of thing?
Well.. The vacuum breaker is only needed if you go to a hand held head.. If you stick with a fixed head forget it

With a fixed head.. You can not drop it into the dirty water. so you need not the backflow preventing vacuum breaker.
