Sanitary ware toiletries selection techniques

The general owner buys the toilet often only to see if the appearance is beautiful, the glaze is beautiful, knows a little to ask the flush way. In fact, the insiders all know that the "soul" of a toilet is not a beautiful appearance, but lies in the invisible part. The design of the internal sewer line curvature, the good pipeline can make the water save and clean, and it is not easy. Blocked and drowning. Buy toilets should consider: whether it will block, drown, rinse, save water and mute. Let's take a look at the flushing methods of existing toilets on the market, generally divided into two types:

1. Wash off. Some of them are called "Wash down", which is the design used in European toilets. The characteristics of this type of toilet is that the water tank is relatively small and narrow, and the inside of the toilet seat is the excrement outlet (that is, the hole in the toilet). Larger, the slope inside the toilet is very steep (often joke that when the large size will be easy to pick up the water), because the toilet is the use of water impulse to wash away the excrement, so washed the water to earth shaking, loud voice, toilet There will be splashes of water inside. The amount of water is generally about 6 liters (1.6 gallons), which is more water-efficient.

2. Siphonic, the most common toilet in Taiwan, the United States, and Japanese brands. The characteristic is that the water tank is large and wide, and the toilet seat itself is also relatively large. The slope inside is long and oblique, and the bottom of the toilet is small and round. In such a toilet, the defecation tube is made into an "S" type, because the curvature of the S is very large (see the anatomical view is like a narrow path, bend to bend), so the toilet seat volume will change It is relatively large (that is, the inside of the toilet, which is not visible under the "ramps" in the toilet, is actually densely covered with crooked pipes).

When the siphon toilet flushes, a little water accumulates in the toilet (some people will think that it is a toilet barrier), and then the pipe becomes a vacuum and a siphon occurs. The excrement and the manure water will suck. When the water is flushed, the noise is not so great. At the end of the rush, you can hear the sound of “pass, pass, pass...”. That is when the siphon phenomenon ends, the sound of the air returning to the pipe. Because siphonic toilets rely on a certain amount of water (filling the entire toilet bowl inside the toilet) causing a siphon phenomenon to “suck” the sewer, so the amount of water is often 3.2 gallons (12 liters), and it is based on environmental protection. In principle, the United States has forced manufacturers to “adjust” the amount of toilet water to 6 liters, so it is a big reform for siphonic toilets. Because, the amount of water is an important factor in the siphon effect.

There is also a spray siphon type, this paragraph takes into account the advantages of straight punch and siphon, is currently the most popular style. It is a place where there is a flush in the lower mouth. It has suction and no noise.

Blockage is not blocked

The pipeline area determines whether it is easy to block. There is no return bend in the design of the flush toilet, and straight flush is adopted, which is not easy to cause clogging in the flushing process compared with the siphon type. The siphon-type pipe diameter is also about 56 cm, which is equivalent to three times that of the straight flush type, so it is very easy to block it when flushing. Some people joked that families who install siphonic toilets must have two pieces of equipment: paper baskets and tweezers. Because toilet paper is thrown directly in the toilet, it is easy to block; Also note that to buy a toilet, it is best to touch it. There is no glazing on the underside of the pipe. There is no easy filth, and it is easy to block. Generally, glazing is more expensive. TOTO has no glazing, but it is very smooth.

Splashing

No one wants to be splashed with water when it is convenient. It is an unpleasant matter both from a sanitary point of view and psychologically. Causes of toilet splashes are manifold, such as the structure of the toilet, the height of the toilet, the angle of water entering, and the physical condition of the user. One of the most important factors influencing the splashing water is the height of the toilet. The higher the height of the toilet, the greater the speed at which it enters the water, and the greater the momentum when entering the water. According to the results of the researchers' experiments, when the height of the feces is greater than 200 mm, splashing is serious, and when the height of the feces is less than 140 mm, water is rarely splashed, and the critical height is 160 mm. The height of the toilet seat is determined by the difference between the height of the toilet seat and the height of the water seal. Today, the toilet seat height is based on ergonomic design, and the general height is similar to that of a normal person. Therefore, the level of water seal is directly related to the problem of splashing water, and it is also a barrier to the odor effect of the toilet. Install the seat into the use state, then slowly fill it with water until water flows out from the waste outlet. Measure the distance between the bottom of the toilet water and the water surface with a steel tape measure to the water seal of the toilet. The national standard for toilet water seals is 50mm, and the generally better product water seals are between 55 and 60mm. So if you want to pick a toilet that is not easy to splash, it is best to choose a product with a water seal height of 55-60mm.

The rush is not clean

Some toilets represented by European brands are flush-type, using British design standards. They are characterized by simple flushing lines, short paths, and thick diameters. They are generally between 90 and 100 cm in diameter. The use of water's gravitational acceleration can be used. Effortlessly flush your booties. The siphon-type pipe is very tall and long and thin, because the smaller the pipe diameter, the more obvious the effect of siphoning and the greater the pumping force. However, the demand for water is inevitably high. People who install siphonic toilets at home will find that when flushing, they must first discharge water to very high water levels, and then the dirt can go down with water. Its design structure determines that a certain amount of water must be available. In order to reach the level of cleansing, at least 8 liters or 9 liters of water should be used. If the forced reduction in flush volume is 3/6 litres, the flush rate will be insufficient. Some owners on the market now report that 3/6 liters of toilets are not clean. The siphon type toilet easily flushes the dirt that adheres to the surface of the toilet, and the straight flush type toilet has a large diameter of the sewage pipe, and it is easy to flush out large dirt. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It must be considered comprehensively.

Festival is not water saving

Whether or not a toilet is water-saving depends on two aspects. One is a water tank and the other is a sitting bucket. The difference in the bucket section is the difference between the straight flush and the siphon, and the flush type water consumption is less than the siphon type. There is also water saving, which is generally less than 6 liters of water-saving type, and it is not easy to flush with less. They are contradictory, and of course, there is a 3 litre flush, 6 liters flush, It saves water. This 3L/6L double-button design toilet uses much less water than an old-fashioned toilet. According to 3 households per household, each person flushes water 4 times a day (1 stool 3 times urinating), and the old 9L toilet each The monthly water consumption is approximately 3,240 liters; if a 3 liters/6 litre toilet is used, it is 1,350 liters per month, which saves 1,890 liters of water per month and can also reduce the discharge of 1890 liters of sewage. If we calculate at 3.7 yuan per ton of water in Beijing, we can save more than 85 yuan per year, and we will save a toilet money in ten years. In addition, 1.4/3 water-saving toilets can also be purchased in Beijing. If you use this toilet, you can save nearly 120 yuan a year.

Purchase suggestion

1. The flushing method is very important. Jet siphon is recommended because of its low noise, strong decontamination, and better visibility in the pit.

2, should choose a moderate amount of water storage toilets, high water storage will splash butt, water storage capacity is too low to run the taste.

3. Pay attention to the glazed surface of the toilet. The glazed surface of a toilet with good quality should be smooth, smooth, and free of blisters. The color should be saturated. After inspecting the glazed surface, you should also touch the sewer of the toilet. If it is rough, it can easily be left behind. The other is to pay attention to the glaze is good to do a good cleaning in the future, the general very cheap a few hundred dollars from the porcelain body's density and glaze is not good, soon the glaze will turn yellow, no matter how it is not clean , High-grade expensive is expensive in its porcelain body dense glaze is not easy corrosion wear. Because of the high temperature at the time of firing, the high-grade toilets meet the all-ceramic requirement, so you will feel heavy in your hands. The low-grade toilet bowl has a low firing temperature and a short time, so it has not reached the all-ceramic requirement.

Toilet use advice

1, cover the lid flush toilet: There are experiments show that the moment flush the toilet, the water's vortex power can make the fine particles in the excrement to take advantage of the power to swing back to more than 6 meters of air. These bacterial substances will stay in the air for several hours and eventually fall into towels, toothbrushes, and cups, causing contamination of the toiletries. Therefore, when flushing, be sure to cover the lid first and then press the flush valve.

2. Do not place a paper basket next to the byte toilet: People are accustomed to placing a paper basket next to the toilet and throwing the used toilet paper inside. Usually these toilet papers and other substances are stored in the paper basket for more than two days. The toilets are in wet areas. Garbage stored in paper baskets is prone to bacterial growth and overflowing into the surroundings. In fact, the toilet paper immersed in water will become soft and fragile. When flushing, it will easily plunge into the waterway and it will not need to be relocated. Other materials that cannot be easily washed out can be thrown away in a prepared garbage bag.

3, do not pour dumplings leftovers into the toilet, etc.: leftovers in the garbage in the toilet wall is not easy to clean, long accumulation of scale can easily lead to poor toilet flush or block the waterway, but also affect the beauty and service life of the toilet. At the same time, rinsing leftovers is also likely to cause waste of water. It is better to throw leftovers into garbage bags and discard them.
