Yes, you can flush a toilet manually even when your home has no running water supply, provided you have stored water available. Because gravity-flush toilets do not rely on electrical pumps for the actual flush, you can pour a large bucket of water (roughly one to two gallons) directly into the toilet bowl rapidly. The sudden volume and weight of the poured water will trigger the natural siphon action, effectively washing waste down the drain without needing the tank to refill automatically. Verification: Pour a test bucket of water into the bowl to confirm the siphon action clears waste completely.
