The toilet is not well selected, waste of water, flushing noise, and stains on the glaze are trivial matters. The most annoying thing is the frequent blockage, water replacement, and back odor. Remember these 9 points.
1. Choose the fully glazed one
Whether the toilet is clogged or not, apart from the impediment of the sewer, the most direct impact is the material of the pipes. Rough pipes are more likely to accumulate dirt and urine scale. It is predictable that the dirt will become thicker and the sewer will be slower and slower.
When choosing a toilet, choose a full-pipe glazed toilet.
Specific method: touch it with your hand, put your hand in and feel the water trap, whether the smoothness is the same as the wall of the barrel, if there is a grainy feeling, it means that the S pipe is not glazed, so give up decisively.
The material of the glaze surface is also very important. It should be selected from clean glaze, which is smooth, does not seep stains, and does not hang stains.
Test method: draw a few times with a marker pen, don't wipe it immediately, stay for three minutes, wipe it after it dries, the self-cleaning glaze can be wiped off with a rag (you can definitely draw it without any problem)
2. Firing temperature
Fired at 800°C, the glaze cannot be completely porcelainized, and it is prone to yellowing and cracking.
It should be fired at a high temperature of 1280°C. The glaze surface is completely porcelain, smooth and not easy to bleed, and has a longer service life.
How to check: use a flashlight to approach the glazed surface of the toilet, and carefully check whether there are snowflakes on it. If so, there is no doubt that the toilet is a good snowflake glazed toilet.
3. Water seal height
The height of the water seal should not be 70mm. If the water is too deep, the distance between the water seal and the toilet seat will be too close, and the poop will splash on the pp. It should not be too little, it will affect the momentum.
It is recommended to choose a water seal height of about 50mm, which is splash-proof, deodorant, and odor-free.
4. Diameter
The diameter of the sewage discharge is measured before, and the diameter of the S pipe is measured after the measurement. The wide diameter makes the sewage discharge easy.
But it is not the bigger the better, about 45mm-60mm is suitable, too wide a caliber will affect the suction.
5. Toilet weight
The same volume, the heavier the toilet, the greater the density, the finer the porcelain, it is recommended to choose more than 100 catties, not less than 80 catties.
Weighing method: Find a suitable angle and try to see if you can lift it up. Girls can weigh the weight of the toilet seat.
At the same time, look at the inside of the lid, the color of the original material, the lighter the color, the purer the original material, and try to knock it with your hands, the sound will be clearer.
6. Cover plate
In the choice of cover material, you can choose according to the actual situation. If you want a high-quality texture and no discoloration, choose a urea-formaldehyde cover. If the temperature difference in the north is large, and the family members weigh more than 150 catties, the pp material is warm and soft, with high cost performance and toughness. Good, not easy to break.
In addition, the cover is selected with damping, which can be lowered slowly, and it will not make abnormal noises at night, disturbing the rest of the family.
Choose one-button disassembly, even if it is broken, it is easy to replace.
7. Flushing method
The flushing method is the siphon and whirlpool type, the whirlpool has a strong momentum and flushes cleanly.
Don't wash down and jet siphon, the former is noisy, one-way flushing, splashing water, poor deodorant effect. There are many small holes on the edge of the latter, which is not easy to clean.
If the toilet has been moved and the pipe distance is limited, you can only choose the flush type.
In addition, there is generally a water efficiency mark on the toilet tank. The water efficiency of the first level is the most water-saving. The small flush generally has 3.5L of water, and the large flush has 5L of water. The second level is about one liter more than the first level.
The national standard for the sound of flushing water is 60 decibels. A good toilet flushing sound is low, around 40-50 decibels.
8. Water parts
As one of the most vulnerable parts of the toilet, when selecting water parts, check twice and ask three times to see if it is a genuine product, whether there are burrs around (the brand is generally no problem), observe whether the quality of the water parts passes the test, and ask about the quality assurance number of years.
Specific method: Press the water part back and forth, the sound is crisp and free of stuttering, the resilience is good, it is not easy to break, and it is more durable.
Branded water accessories generally have a three-year warranty. If the warranty is one or two years, it may be that the quality is not up to standard.
9. Sealing of sewage outlet
Choose one sewage outlet, the seal will not return odor, do not have two sewage outlets, the sealing performance is poor.
The reason why two ports are designed is that the manufacturer adapts to different pit distances and saves a mold and process. This is the practice of small factories. Big factories don’t do this, so don’t be fooled.
