Toilet Reviews
Without a toilet, the life of a modern, civilized person is unthinkable. It was in the pursuit of comfort and economy that various systems and types of toilets were developed. For the optimal choice of the most comfortable product, you need to evaluate several criteria, as well as read reviews about toilets of various brands.
Features of the toilet depending on the shape of the bowl
The most common are three types:
Dish-shaped - the bottom wall is made in the form of a ledge (plate). The advantage of this design is the absence of a “splash” and splash, but a smell may occur;
Funnel-shaped - almost all imported models. The design has no ledge and is the most hygienic option; when used, there is a likelihood of a surge;
Visors - an attempt to combine the advantages of the previous types. The back wall has a slight forward inclination.
There are no splashes and unpleasant odors, but according to reviews, a toilet bowl of this design needs a lot of water to flush and periodically use a brush.
Accession to the sewer system
This is a technical, but not unimportant, parameter entirely depends on the type and location of the outlet to the sewer pipe.
There are three types:
- oblique - 30 or 45 degrees;
- horizontal;
- vertical.
Type of flush system
Straight - outdated and not hygienic, water flows from the tank to the outlet channel practically without affecting the bowl.
Circular (reverse) - water moves through special channels under the rim washing the entire surface.
There are modern models with a combined system, where the direct method acts as an economical one.
Production material
The most common, faience is a cheaper material, which has a high water absorption of up to 10%. The service life of such a toilet is 10-15 years.
Porcelain has a denser structure and, despite the high cost, is more profitable, since the product has a service life of up to 30 years.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the mounting methods, product dimensions and reviews. Which toilet bowl is better to choose depends on the external form of the model, compatibility with the interior.
