Every time the toilet is lifted, someone will say, “It is still the best to use the direct flush toilet in those years”. Compared with the siphon toilet today, is the direct flush toilet really so easy to use?
Or, if it is so useful, why is it on the verge of elimination now? In fact, when you use the p trap toilet again, you will find that all the “good” only exist in the vague memory.
To put it bluntly, the p trap toilet is not easy to use! Today’s siphon toilet is the product of technological progress. Compared with siphon toilet, p trap toilet has three main problems:
How loud is the p trap toilet? If the toilet is close to the bedroom, the sound of flushing can wake you up from sleep!
The sound of siphon toilet flushing is more like running water, which is the sound of “clattering”. The rushing sound of the p trap toilet is more like a waterfall. In addition to the sound of running water, it is accompanied by the burst sound of water spray.
The biggest advantage of siphon toilet is its high suction. This actually involves an interesting phenomenon – siphon
Siphon toilet is not “flushed” down, but “sucked” down. The former depends on water pressure, while the latter depends on atmospheric pressure. Obviously, the pressure of the latter will be greater.
The flushing force is large, and on the one hand, it is not easy to be blocked. In those days, even toilet paper could block the toilet with a p trap toilet.
On the other hand, the stool will not stick to the inner wall of the toilet, and the strong suction can wash the inner wall of the toilet very clean.
The drainage structure of the p trap toilet is very simple, and the toilet is directly connected to the drainage pipe. There is only a thin water seal between them.
The water seal can prevent odor, but it is not enough to block all the odor coming from such a thick drain pipe. Therefore, if you use the direct flush toilet, the toilet will often smell bad, and there may even be mosquitoes.
The structure of the siphon toilet is much more complicated. In addition to the water seal, there are long pipes inside the toilet. This section of pipe can also prevent odor and mosquitoes.
Why are some siphon toilets not easy to use?
My family uses a siphon toilet. Why isn’t it as magical as you say? This has nothing to do with siphon, but with toilet. Poor siphon toilet always has various problems
Siphon toilet depends on the pipe on the toilet very much. If the pipe is too thick, it requires a high amount of water and is not easy to produce siphon effect. However, the pipe is too thin, and it is easy to block.
Especially now, many closets like to be made into “environment-friendly” closets and “water-saving” closets. The pipes of this kind of closestool are very thin, which is easy to cause problems in future use. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not affect your own use experience because of the water charges.
If you want to generate siphon force, you must ensure that the pipe behind the toilet is a closed space. But the toilet and the floor drain are separated. How can we close them?
The correct way is to install a sealing ring (called “flange ring”) between the toilet and the ground, and achieve the sealing effect through the flange ring. When the flange ring is aged and hardened, and the sealing effect becomes worse, the closeness of the toilet pipe is damaged, which will affect the suction of the toilet.
Therefore, when installing the toilet, be sure to check the quality of the flange ring! If you find that the quality is poor, go to the downstairs hardware store immediately and spend 30 yuan to buy a good one.
Some people think that their toilet is very good at the beginning, and the more they use it, the less suction they have. Check the flange ring and find no problem. In nine out of ten cases, the toilet is blocked.
It is not completely blocked that is “blocked”. There is a section of pipe above the toilet, which is hung with some grease, hair, toilet paper debris, which will cause the toilet pipe to become thinner, which is also “blocked”.
If the ceramic surface of the toilet is not smooth, it is easy to catch the garbage. So a really good siphon toilet should be glazed on the inner wall of the pipe. Only by making the pipe as smooth as the inner and outer walls of the toilet can the service life and effect be guaranteed.
