The door won’t close? Can’t you stretch your legs? Where can I put my foot? This seems to be very common for small families, especially those with small bathrooms. The selection and purchase of toilet is an indispensable part of decoration. You must have many questions about how to choose a proper toilet. Let’s take you to know today.
Three ways to divide toilets
At present, there are various toilets in the mall, including general ones and intelligent ones. But how do we consumers choose when choosing? Which kind of toilet is the most suitable for your home? Let’s briefly introduce the classification of toilet.
01 one piece toilet and two piece toilet
The choice of closestool is mainly determined by the size of toilet space. two piece toilet is more traditional. In the later stage of production, screws and sealing rings are used to connect the base and the second floor of the water tank, which takes up a large space and is easy to hide dirt at the joint; The one piece toilet is more modern and high-end, beautiful in shape, rich in options, and integrated. But the price is relatively expensive.
02 Sewage discharge mode: rear row type and bottom row type
The rear row type is also known as the wall row type or the horizontal row type, and the direction of its sewage discharge can be known according to the literal meaning. The height from the center of the drain outlet to the ground should be considered when purchasing the rear toilet, which is generally 180mm; The bottom row type is also called the floor row type or the vertical row type. As the name implies, it refers to the toilet with the drain outlet on the ground.
The distance from the center point of the drain outlet to the wall should be noted when purchasing the lower row toilet. The distance from the drain outlet to the wall can be divided into 400mm, 305mm and 200mm. The northern market has a large demand for products with 400mm pit distance. There is a large demand for 305mm pit distance products in the southern market.
03 Launching method: p trap toilet and s trap toilet
Pay attention to the direction of sewage discharge when purchasing toilets. If it is a p trap type, you should buy a flush toilet, which can directly discharge the dirt with the help of the water. The washing-down sewage outlet is large and deep, and the sewage can be discharged directly by the force of the flushing water. Its disadvantage is that the flushing sound is loud. If it is a lower row type, you should buy a siphon toilet. There are two types of siphon subdivision, including jet siphon and vortex siphon. The principle of siphon toilet is to form siphon effect in the sewage pipe through the flushing water to discharge the dirt. Its sewage outlet is small, and it is quiet and quiet when used. The disadvantage is that the water consumption is large. Generally, the storage capacity of 6 liters is used up at one time.
It is necessary to inspect the appearance of the toilet carefully
When choosing a toilet, the first thing to look at is its appearance. What is the best toilet appearance? Here is a brief introduction to the details of toilet appearance inspection.
01 Glazed surface is smooth and glossy
The glaze of the toilet with good quality should be smooth and smooth without bubbles, and the color should be saturated. After inspecting the glaze of the outer surface, you should also touch the drain of the toilet. If it is rough, it will easily cause blockage later.
02 Knock the surface to listen
The high temperature fired toilet has low water absorption and is not easy to absorb sewage and produce peculiar smell. The water absorption of middle and low grade closestool is very high, easy to stink and difficult to clean. After a long time, cracking and water leakage will occur.
Test method: Gently tap the toilet with your hand. If the voice is hoarse, not clear and loud, it is likely to have internal cracks, or the product is not cooked.
03 Weigh the toilet
The weight of a common toilet is about 50 jin, and that of a good toilet is about 00 jin. Because of the high temperature when firing the high-grade toilet, it has reached the level of all-ceramic, so it will feel heavy in your hands.
Test method: Take up the water tank cover with both hands and weigh it.
The quality of the selected structural parts of the toilet is the most important
In addition to the appearance, the structure, water outlet, caliber, water tank and other parts should be clearly seen when selecting the toilet. These parts should not be ignored, otherwise the use of the whole toilet will be affected.
01 An optimal water outlet
At present, many brands have 2-3 blow-off holes (according to different diameters), but the more blow-off holes, the more impact they have on the impulse. The water outlet of the toilet can be divided into lower drainage and horizontal drainage. The distance from the center of the water outlet to the wall behind the water tank should be measured, and the toilet of the same model should be purchased to “seat at the right distance”. The outlet of the horizontal drainage toilet should be the same height as the horizontal drainage outlet, and it is better to be slightly higher.
02 Internal caliber test
The sewage pipe with large diameter and glazed inner surface is not easy to hang dirty, and the sewage is fast and powerful, which can effectively prevent clogging.
Test method: put the whole hand into the toilet. Generally, the capacity of one palm is the best.
03 Listen to the sound of water parts
The quality of the water parts of the brand toilet is very different from that of the ordinary toilet, because almost every family has experienced the pain of no water from the water tank, so when choosing the toilet, do not neglect the water parts.
Test method: It is best to press the water piece to the bottom and hear the button make a clear sound.
Personal inspection is guaranteed
The most important part of the toilet inspection is the actual test. The quality of the selected toilet can be guaranteed only by conducting a personal inspection and test on the water tank, flushing effect and water use.
01 Water tank leakage
The leakage of the water storage tank of the toilet is generally not easy to detect except for the obvious dripping sound.
Test method: Drop blue ink into the toilet water tank, mix it well and see if there is blue water flowing out of the toilet water outlet. If yes, it indicates that there is water leakage in the toilet.
02 Flush to listen to the sound and see the effect
The toilet should first have the basic function of thorough flushing. The flushing type and siphon flushing type have strong sewage discharge capacity, but the sound is loud when flushing; Whirlpool type uses a lot of water at a time, but has a good mute effect. Siphon flushing is water saving compared with direct flushing.
Test method: put a piece of white paper into the toilet, drop a few drops of blue ink, and then flush the toilet after the paper is dyed blue, to see if the toilet is completely flushed, and to listen to whether the flushing mute effect is good.
