1. Working principle of siphon toilet
The siphon toilet type is a phenomenon formed by filling the sewage pipeline (usually referred to as the water trap) of the toilet with flushing water, and then discharging the dirt. The siphon phenomenon is formed by the attraction and potential difference energy between liquid molecules. That is, apply the pressure difference of the water column to make the water rise and then flow to the lower point. Due to the different atmospheric pressures on the water surface at the nozzle, the water will flow from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side until the atmospheric pressure on both sides is equal, and the water surface inside the container becomes at an equal height, causing the water to cease its activity. The application of siphon phenomenon can quickly extract water from the container.
2. Introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of siphon toilets
Advantages:
a. The siphon toilet uses suction to remove dirt and has a relatively low flushing sound, hence it is called a silent toilet.
b. When flushing a siphon toilet, the water flows rapidly down the pool wall and forms a vortex, which can flush the surface of the toilet 360 ° without dead corners, effectively removing stubborn dirt, reducing scaling, and maintaining the cleanliness of the toilet itself.
c. The drainage pipeline of the siphon toilet is S-shaped, with a relatively large water storage surface and better odor prevention effect. It is particularly suitable for bathrooms without windows and with poor permeability.
Disadvantages:
The siphon toilet needs to first raise the water level in the water tank to a certain height before flushing, with a water consumption of about 9 liters or even more each time. Compared to the direct flush toilet, it is more water consuming.
The siphon toilet drainage pipe has a small diameter and is prone to blockage during flushing, requiring a regular leather strap at home.
3. Reasons and solutions for ineffective flushing of siphon toilets
Reason:
a. If the siphon toilet is used for a long time, the pipeline wall is particularly prone to forming a rough layer of dirt, which is sluggish and slow when flushing. This is in stark contrast to the smooth pipeline wall, and it feels like it has lost its siphon effect.
b. The occurrence of cracks in the siphon pipe can cause air leakage, leading to a decrease in the pressure of a portion of the water column and greatly reducing the siphon effect.
c. The water in the toilet water tank is relatively low, so when flushing, the water cannot form sufficient pressure inside the toilet and cannot achieve optimal siphoning effect.
d. The quality of the water components in the toilet water tank is unqualified, and the water discharge cannot achieve the desired effect.
Solution:
a. Add more water to the toilet water tank to ensure that there is enough water entering the toilet to form sufficient water pressure for good siphoning effect, thus flushing the wastewater from the toilet into the sewer.
b. Replace the water components in the toilet water tank.
c. Some buildings sometimes have odor resistant bends in their sewage pipes, and the air has upward buoyancy. If there is no problem with flushing the toilet itself, and the siphon toilet itself has bends, it can also cause insufficient flushing force. If there is a problem during installation, it may need to be reinstalled.
4.Finally, here is a good way to solve toilet blockage
a. If you encounter some soft blockage, find a long plastic water pipe, connect one end to the tap water pipe, and plug the other end into the toilet. Use a rag to block the toilet opening, then turn on the tap water and use water pressure to clear the pipeline.
b. If it is oil or scaling, an appropriate amount of oxalic acid can be taken and poured into the toilet pipe, as oxalic acid can neutralize urine alkali.
