Let’s take a look directly at the criteria for choosing a toilet.
① Look at the “skin”: delicate and shiny
The glaze should be smooth, smooth, without bubbles, and full of color. In addition, pay attention to the “skin” of other parts of the toilet.
②The sound is crisp and not hoarse
Tap lightly, if the sound is hoarse, not crisp and loud, it is likely to have internal cracks, or there is a problem with the firing.
③ The heavier the better. The weight of the toilet is the best.
The weight of the ordinary toilet is about 50 pounds, and the toilet of good quality is about 100 pounds. The heavier the weight, the higher the density and the better the quality. The heavy toilet is due to the high temperature during firing, reaching the level of all-ceramic. Ceramics fired at high temperatures have a lower water absorption rate, will not absorb sewage and crack, and will not have a peculiar smell. When checking the quality, you don’t have to move the whole toilet, you can use both hands to weigh the water tank cover.
④Look at the material of the toilet cover
For the toilet, intelligent toilet cover generally with ABS material, ordinary toilet cover generally has two kinds, one is PP material, the other is UF urea-formaldehyde material. PP cover is more common, cheap, durable, and not easy to break, urea-formaldehyde cover high-grade, with how long will not change color, but the urea-formaldehyde cover is more brittle, not resistant to fall and more expensive, two kinds of cover have advantages and disadvantages, for The choice of cover, there are two points need to pay attention to. The first is to choose the cover with a buffer, this cover will slowly fall, will not hit the toilet to make a very loud sound, so it can also be a good protective cover. The second is not to buy the kind of installation trouble cover, after all, the life of the cover than the toilet to be much shorter, with a bad to replace the new, good installation of the cover is more convenient.
⑤ One sewage hole is the best
Nowadays, many toilets have 2 or 3 drainage holes in order to match different drainage distances, but the more drainage holes, the more affecting the impulse. In particular, the water outlet of the rear toilet should be the same height as the corresponding water outlet, preferably slightly higher.
⑥ The sewage pipeline should be larger
Sewage pipes with large diameter and glazed inner surfaces are not easy to get dirty, and the sewage discharges quickly and powerfully, effectively preventing clogging. The size is just right to fit the whole hand into the mouth of the sewage pipe. (It’s new anyway, so don’t let it go. Wash your hands a few more times at most. It’s better than really blocking it and then you’re good at it?)
⑦ Flushing fitting should be durable
The quality of the flushing fitting is very important. If the quality is not good, it is easy to prevent the water from coming out. If you press the flush button back and the water does not come out, it will be very embarrassing.
Another easily damaged toilet is the flushing fitting. There are three major brands of flushing fitting on the market, namely Geberit from Switzerland, R&T from Xiamen, and WDI from Xiamen. Geberit is an internationally renowned brand, and Geberit flushing fitting is reliable and durable, but also very expensive, the price of Geberit water parts has caught up with the price of an ordinary toilet. In addition, there are two brands of water parts, R&T and WDI, which are moderately priced and of good quality.
When buying a toilet, open the cover of the water tank to see the flushing fitting. There are usually trademarks on the flushing fitting, which may be one of the three major flushing fitting brands or other brands. If it is an ordinary brand, we first shake the flushing fitting by hand to see if the flushing fitting is installed tightly, then move the connecting rod to see if the connection part is sensitive and reliable, and then press the flushing fitting button by hand to feel the downward movement. Whether it is smooth to press and whether the button rebound is normal, these are the criteria for judging the quality of a piece of water.
⑧ Adopt water-saving principle Try to choose a water-saving toilet (less than 6 liters), which is double flushed and has a pressurizing device inside, which can effectively solve the contradiction between water volume and flushing.
⑨ Water seal
The key to preventing anti-odor, less than 50mm of water seal should not be used.
⑩ Choose an anti-siphon water inlet valve
Choose an anti-siphon water inlet valve. When the tap water stops, choosing an anti-siphon water inlet valve can effectively prevent the sewage in the water tank from flowing back into the water pipe and polluting the water pipe. The anti-siphon water inlet valve can effectively prevent the siphon backflow phenomenon. The deeply buried type is different. The water outlet is buried in the water, and the water in the water tank can easily flow back into the water pipe.
