Toilet Shopping Guide: Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

In the process of decoration, buy a toilet although it seems simple, but it contains a lot of doorway. Toilet, this product is closely related to our daily life, not only about the comfort and convenience, but also affect the quality of home life. Today, let me take you into the world of the toilet, for you to reveal the mystery of the toilet purchase.

The basic classification and emotional interpretation of the toilet

From the construction points

Two-piece toilet: the tank and cylinder of this type of toilet are fired separately, and then they are assembled together when installed. Imagine that it is like two separate individuals, combined together through clever design to become a whole.

Benefit: Low scrap rate during production means that the manufacturer is able to utilize resources more efficiently, resulting in lower production costs and a lower selling price. Sometimes, two-piece toilets from branded products are even half the price of one-piece models, which is a real delight!

Disadvantages: the appearance of a sense of division, like two people standing together, although intimate, but there is always a little distance. There may be hidden leaks later, but don’t worry, I personally bought a two-piece toilet and used it for five years without leaks, so you can see that the quality varies. Two-piece toilets have always been an integral part of toilets. The rounded and plain appearance and the design with a tank meet the needs of different people. HOROW’s two-piece toilet is known for its durability and reliable performance.

One-piece toilet: the tank and cylinder are fired in one piece, as if they were made for each other and blend perfectly.

Advantages: The appearance is monolithic, with smooth lines, which makes it look more beautiful and generous. Like a work of art, it is pleasing to the eye.

Cons: One-piece firing has a high scrap rate, and the selling price is higher. Big brands even double, really make people love and hate.

Structure Summary: In terms of function there is no difference between the two, just the appearance and price. If you pursue cost-effective, two-piece toilet is a good choice; if you pay more attention to the appearance and quality, then one-piece toilet will be your favorite. Of course, no matter which type you choose, you should pay attention to avoid purchasing those low-priced poor-quality miscellaneous products, so as to avoid leakage and other hidden dangers in the later use.

From the shape of points

Half-package toilet: the back of the cylinder pipe is directly exposed, like a girl wearing a half skirt, although simple and generous, but there is always a little bit less than perfect.

Full package type toilet: the pipes at the back of the cylinder are all wrapped in the cylinder, like a girl wearing a dress, elegant and generous, let a person’s eyes shine.

Outline summary: In addition to the difference in appearance, there is no difference in function between the two. The all-inclusive toilet is better looking and easier to clean, even if the big name difference is about a hundred dollars. So, if you are looking for aesthetics and convenience, it is recommended that you choose the all-inclusive toilet. At the same time, also want to pay attention to whether the split or one have a full package half package points Oh!

From the flushing button

Double button: In theory, there are two buttons more conducive to water conservation, you can adjust the amount of water as needed. It’s like having a light bulb with two switches, so you can adjust the brightness as needed.

Single-speed button: A single-speed button can also save water by controlling the length of time it is pressed. Just like a faucet, you can control the size of the water flow by adjusting the size of the switch.

Flush button summary: in fact, single and double buttons do not matter! The focus is still on its water-saving situation. General brand products, the maximum water volume is mostly between 4.2-5 liters, there are a lot of low-end products are equipped with double-speed, but the maximum water volume is 6 liters; and some high-quality single-speed products, although the use of a button, but the maximum water volume is only 4 liters, but also to achieve the effect of water conservation. Therefore, when choosing, be sure to look at the product’s water-saving performance. Oh!

Tank sewer structure

Traditional water plug down: the use of a rubber plug down the water device. This type of traditional down the water device down the opening is relatively small, the water is slow, and the impulse is small. It is like a grandfather walking, slow and easy. And rubber plug time is also easy to aging, like people will get sick when they get old.

New ring-shaped water: 360-degree water, instantaneous water volume is larger, and strong impulse, just like young people running, full of vigor. At the same time, it is also relatively more water-saving oh.

Water dispenser summary: The old-fashioned water plug has been eliminated! Currently, only a few low-end products are still in use. So it is recommended that you buy a new ring-shaped toilet. Oh!

From the structure of the water points

Direct-flush toilet: the use of water flow to discharge dirt. The general pool wall is steeper, and the water storage area is smaller. So that the water force is concentrated, the water force of the fall around the toilet bowl is increased. Relatively speaking than the siphon waste water, the flushing sound is also relatively large. It’s like slapping the water surface directly with your hand; the sound is loud and splashy.

Siphon toilet: the drain pipe is “S” type, in the drain pipe is filled with water, will produce a certain difference in water level. Through the flushing water in the toilet, within the sewage pipeis produced by, the suction will be discharged. Relatively straight flush noise, water saving, and not easy to return to the odor. Like a straw sucking milk, easy and labor-saving.

Drainage structure summary: straight flush has been eliminated! Siphon is better than straight flush in all aspects! But be careful! Part of the old house, due to the sewer, is not compatible, must use straight type. If your home is an old house and the sewer itself has an S-bend, then you can only choose a direct-flush toilet! But don’t worry! There are a lot of improvements and optimizations for direct-flush toilets nowadays!
