How to choose a toilet?

Do you think that the choice of a suitable toilet is a "trifling" thing? You are mistaken, this question must be approached with an understanding of the matter and seriousness. Because you will have to use the toilet for a long time, or rather, daily. How to choose a toilet from the existing set of various models?

Modern models of toilet bowls

Certainly, when choosing a toilet model, special attention is paid to the appearance, elegant forms, the presence of a super functional tank with a button at the top. In this case, do not think about the method of fixing and installing a plumbing fixture. But the plumbing empire continues to evolve turbulent, like a double-acting drainage stream, at a pace that carries away the old-fashioned and clumsy toilets of the past century. What are modern toilet models and why do we like them?

In place of faience toilet bowls, incredibly similar to each other, came practical models of a compact toilet bowl, hanging and attachable. What impresses at first sight new models of toilet bowls? We will not be mistaken when we say that the feature of the new models is the shape and size of the waste tank.

If before the toilet bowl was manufactured by a single-type industry with a cast iron surface and a noisy "waterfall" that woke up all the residents of the entrance in the morning, today the tank is a compact and functional component of the entire system.

Basic technical parameters of the sanitary equipment

As any device or system has technical characteristics, a sanitary unit (toilet bowl) has the following parameters:
  • Type of water flushing
  • a method of discharging water into a sewage network
  • material of manufacture.

The main criterion of choice is the type of water flushing. In toilet models there are two types of flushing: direct and reverse. With direct flushing, the water coming from the flush tank does not change the direction of its movement. Another type of flushing-the reverse or circular-is that the water, flowing through the channels of the shell, changes its direction to the opposite of the original movement. Such a mini typhoon completely clears the bowl of the toilet bowl.

The way of water discharge is also important. There are following ways of water discharge:
  • oblique
  • vertical
  • horizontal.
  The oblique water outlet is provided by a downwardly directed pipe and is the most common.

Vertical discharge of water is provided by a sewer pipe, which goes vertically to the floor. Such a plum is promoted by a special system, for example for models of attached toilet bowls. In typical projects of the sewage system of residential premises, this type of water discharge is practically absent.

Horizontal output can be considered universal, because with the use of a special adapter, the sewer pipe can be further removed to the floor or wall.
The main material for the manufacture of sanitary ceramics is porcelain and faience. In practice, ceramics of this type are made on the basis of one raw material.

The difference lies in the manufacturability and the ratio of the components of the mixture and, as a result, the various physical qualities of the sanitary ceramics. In addition, faience is covered with a layer of glaze, performing decorative and protective functions.

Toilet bowl

Barrels for models of toilet bowls differ in the manner of fastening and installation, as well as the location relative to the bowl of the toilet bowl. Ideal option for choosing a toilet bowl is a tank with a smooth surface without decorative excesses.

Agree that all these depressions and bends, except for the place of accumulation of dust and dirt, do not represent special value. Drain tanks are distinguished by the technology of shutoff and drain mechanisms. The practice of using and using plumbing fixtures has shown that the button version of the water drainage mechanism is more convenient and reliable. The trigger mechanism can be located on the top or side of the tank.

Existing models of tanks are equipped with one and two modes of draining the water.
  And, at last, the most interesting is fastening of a toilet bowl with application of innovative installation systems. Brand models of installation systems are based on the fastening of a self-supporting steel frame with strong coating, completely ready for the installation of flat tanks and subsequent connection.

The frame of the installation system "holds the weight" of a hanging or adjoining toilet bowl, as well as the owner of all this treasure. The concealed cistern is very simply mounted and enclosed. The characteristic type of connection and the universal construction of the installation frame allows you to fit the tank and toilet in the space of any wall.

A robust reinforcement group I with condensate insulation conforms to the DIN standard. The installed pneumatic flush valve on the wall is equipped with three discharge modes: continuous, two volumetric, and a start / stop function.

Seat, lid and micro-lift

An essential part of the toilet seat is the seat. To choose the right toilet, you just need to sit down on it. And then you really will feel whether such a toilet is suitable or not. The design of seats for toilets has now reached the heights of perfection. Seating for toilet bowls are plastic, polypropylene and duraplast.

The comfort of the seat can be argued with the originality and roundness of the shapes of the lids equipped with a microlift.
  More recently, the concept of microlift function at the lid of the toilet caused, at least, bewilderment. Today, this practical device, supporting the slow lowering of the lid, becomes indispensable. Metal fastening of the toilet seat and automatic functions make this detail the most popular.

Your distant plumbing friend

The fact that the plumbing fixture is a friend becomes clear from the very first moments of its appearance in your apartment. But the inventive Japanese show special care for their sanitary engineering friend. Our distant sanitary partner "from there" is equipped with a heated seat and musical accompaniment, as well as a function of air deodorization and antibacterial radiation.

There is no need to choose, sit down and be quiet. For a complete set of pleasures, if desired, you can get a general urine analysis, helpfully and professionally produced by a distant plumbing friend. How, you still do not know how to make a choice of the toilet? Then, maybe this video will tell you how to make a choice.
