The life of modern man is impossible without the fulfillment of natural needs in a properly equipped toilet. Much depends on the right toilet. The criteria for evaluating toilet bowls are different for everyone, and since the choice of sanitary ware is very large and the toilet bowls are of different colors, the forms and devices of the drainage mechanism are different for all - therefore it is not a simple task to choose a convenient toilet. Very often people buy based on the principle, and whether it is possible to install the toilet with their own hands - that's why they choose a toilet suitable for their water supply pipes and sewage. In this article, we will try to help the buyer and suggest what to look for.

Features in the construction of toilet bowls
The first thing we pay attention to when choosing a toilet bowl is whether we can connect this toilet bowl to our sewer pipe.
Pay attention to the back wall of the toilet, there is a branch pipe through which sewage wastes are discharged.
This pipe can be located in three different ways:
- vertical output, i. the output hole is directed to the floor;
-horizontal outlet (the hole is at right angles to the toilet);
The pipe is located at an angle of 45 *, i.е. toilet bowl with oblique discharge.
Multi-apartment houses, mainly designed for toilets with an oblique outlet, sometimes with a horizontal outlet.
Houses "stalinka" is sometimes equipped with toilet bowls with a vertical outlet.
In modern times, the toilet bowls with a vertical outlet are installed only in the private sector.
The next question is the connection of water to the drain tank.
Our cheap domestic toilet bowls are mainly produced with side water connection.
All shut-off valves of this tank are in the upper part and therefore such toilet bowls are noisy.
If you react badly to the noise of water - it is necessary to choose a model of the toilet bowl with water supply to the tank from the bottom.
It can also be selected with a side inlet of water into the flushing cistern, but a branch pipe should be included in the delivery set, water is fed to the lower part of the reservoir by means of a branch pipe.
Well, the toilet is naturally noiseless, in the drain tank of which, from below is located a hole for water supply.
There are toilet bowls with double piping, side and bottom, this tank can be considered universal - an unnecessary opening is simply closed by a plug. The third point - pay attention to the way of draining the water.
Basically, buyers buy modern toilets with a push button to drain the water, although you can find an ancient drain tank, the handle of which must be pulled up.
Since our utility payments directly depend on the water consumption - get a toilet, in which the dual-mode drainage mechanism - this will be the best choice.
The fourth point is to choose a convenient bowl of the toilet bowl so that when using the toilet, the washing water flow does not create a spray.
Manufacturers of toilet bowls to exclude splashes, put ceramic bowls in bowls - there is a notch in the ledge, it is capable of redistributing the water flow.
But such a toilet bowl has a drawback, as in this recess the water is constantly found and rust is formed and the lime deposit and washing off of the faeces is not qualitative, it is necessary a lot of water with a strong head.
More convenient toilets that have a bowl with an inclined surface. Solid waste of man falls directly into the water, an unpleasant smell is minimal, the water flow is small.
The toilet bowls are washed differently, since they have different types of water draining.
The discharge can be cascaded (horizontal) and vortex (circular).
With a cascade drain - a large flow of water is sent to the center of the toilet.
If the toilet has a vortex or circular drainage of water - in such a toilet the water is evenly distributed around the rim of the toilet bowl, this distribution creates a suction funnel and more efficiently removes impurities.
Leading manufacturers of toilets produce mainly toilets with a circular or vortex sink.
Ways to install toilet bowls
Depending on the method of installation, the toilet bowls are floor, console and attachable.
The floor toilets are the easiest to install, to the floor are attached with a set of dowels and in our market are the most popular. Toilet bowl installation will not cause any special difficulties, therefore, if you are a diligent host, and such a master can do almost any job at the professional level - install the toilet yourself.
The toilet in the form of a console is installed on a metal structure. A special metal construction, called an installation, is concealed in a wall and a drain tank is built into it.
With such a concealed installation of the drain tank, only the button for draining the water is removed to the wall.
The adjoining toilet bowl can be combined with a tank, and can have also a separate tank and this tank also establish stealthily, as well as in case with console toilets.
The toilet bowls are different, but you have to choose your particular toilet, corresponding to the design of your bathroom.
Which toilet is better, porcelain or porcelain
The toilet bowl can be made from faience or porcelain.
The porcelain toilet bowl is denser and less porous than the faience toilet bowl.
But porcelain and faience toilet bowls on the front side are covered with a thick layer of enamel, and since only the enamel comes in contact with water - we can say that the performance data of the toilet bowls are almost identical.
Therefore, we advise, when choosing a toilet, to pay attention to the quality of the casting.
The surface of the lower part of the foot of the toilet bowl, and in the console devices the side wall adjacent to the bathroom wall, should be perfectly even, so that when installing the toilet bowl there is no gap and the toilet itself does not swing under the load.
Pay attention to the appearance of the enamel.
Enamel should not contain scratches and scuffs.
Plus, we can consider the toilet bowl with a special coating "antikaplya" - this coating can quickly dry the inside of the toilet, dryness does not allow the reproduction of microorganisms, there are no rust stains and salt deposits in such toilet bowls.
