Flushing Toilet Buyer’s Guide: Everything You Should Know

Flushing Toilet Buyer’s Guide

To choose the best flushing toilets tailored to your needs, there are features you need to take into consideration. Agreed, flushing toilets are way better than the non-flushing ones for most houses, but not all flushing toilets are created equal. Here are the major features you need to look out for:

1. Design

In choosing a design or height of a flushing toilet, you want to pay close attention to design features that’s suitable for your bathroom.

Will a one-piece, two-piece, compact or wall-mounted western design suit your bathroom space?

Design features are typically based on personal preferences and needs.  A one-piece toilet system is very easy to clean but also relatively more expensive than a two-piece toilet system while a wall-mounted toilet can easily be swept under.  Modern companies also offer flushing toilets in other colors and finish other than white. Basically, with a flushing toilet, you will have porcelain make up.

In terms of height, 15-inch is the standard height for most toilets in the market today; however, there are some that go as high as 17-inches.  Be sure to pick a suitable height that meets your needs.

2. Drain location

The drain location is an important aspect to take into consideration before purchasing a flushing toilet because accurate measurements are needed for proper installation. The rough-in distance and the measurement of the wall to the middle of the bolts or base of the toilet are figures you need to get correctly for proper installation.

3. Bowl shape

Elongated shape and round fronts are the two most common bowl shapes available. You can do the comparison easily.  Elongated shapes are suited for bathrooms with enough space while round fronts pair in nicely with compact bathrooms. The choice is yours to make.

4. Size of the trapway & valve

You want to pay attention to the flush valve of the toilet you intend to purchase because the flush valve is an intricate part of the toilet system that pushes water into the bowl.  The size of the flush valve ranges from 2 to 4 inches long. Ideally, the larger the size of the flush valve the stronger the flush and vice versa.

Toilets are listed by trapway sizes. An appropriate trapway is needed to prevent clogging the flush toilet. A number of factors contribute to why trapway sizes are important, however; too big a trapway can reduce the force of the water down the pan.

5. Performance & removal ratings

You should be on the lookout for the performance and removal rating of the flushing toilet you intend to purchase. Efficiency and performance are directly related to the number of gallons the toilet flush needs to remove waste. That a product is labeled as ‘high-power flushing toilet’ doesn’t mean it will be efficient. The standard for GPF (gallon per flush) in terms of water efficiency is 1.6. But the ever-improving flushing technology has reduced GPF rate in some advanced systems as low as 0.8. So, a high amount of flush water capacity doesn’t mean that the system is efficient.

6. Conservation

Water conservation is another aspect of a flushing toilet system you need to take into consideration. Unless you purchase a dual-flush system the amount of water used for every flush is the same and is often defined by the manufacturer.

7. Ease of cleaning

As we’ve reiterated earlier, one-piece flushing toilets are much easier to clean than two-piece flushing toilets but relatively more expensive. This is where a flushing toilet stays ahead of a no-flush or composting toilet.

8. Enough space in the toilet

When it comes to the right space in the toilet, too much is not good.  The larger the space within the toilet, the wider the surface area for water flow within the bowl, the lesser the flushing power. What you need is something appropriate and within the standard limit.

9. Comfort

If you’re going to invest in a flushing toilet that meets your needs, make comfort a must. Pay close attention to the height of the bowl, flushing power, and efficiency that minimizes repeat flushes. If you don’t like touching the toilet after use, you have the touchless options available in advanced models, but that would be costly. You can also find residential toilet models that feature quiet flushing, and that’s a great option for people who don’t like noise from their toilets. Get a bidet installed along with the toilet for a complete solution for your family members.

10. Budget & features

Obviously, your budget is the single most important aspect you should take into consideration. Decide on a price range you are willing to offer and the features you need before committing to a particular product. Although there are many inexpensive models out there, premium flushing toilets are well worth the investment but will take a large piece of pie off your wallet. However, if you need one with the strongest flushing capacity, make sure you don’t set it somewhere for a solo use.

Types and Basics for Good Flushing

Parts of a Toilet

Most people, when looking for a good flushing system, look out for things like size, shape, water consumption, and power. But one of the most important aspects they fail to take into consideration is the flushing mechanism. A good flushing mechanism will determine how much water is used to clear clogs from the toilet.

Like it is for the urinals, if you get the flush mechanism right, you would be able to save yourself on increased utility billing.  Let’s have a good look at the types of flushing systems and the benefit of each. Irrespective of your needs you will have to choose between one of the flushing system listed below:

1. Gravity

Gravity flush system is one of the most popular flush systems of today.  It makes use of a combination of gravity and the force of water to expel sewage from the toilet.  Since it doesn’t have any complex mechanism, it is one of the quietest.

2. Pressure assisted

The pressure-assisted system it’s a very powerful flushing system.  It makes use of pressurized air to forcefully pass water through the bowl, effectively expelling sewage. While it is quite powerful, the major drawback is that it is equally very noisy.  If you’re looking for the most efficient system that can clear out clogs from your toilet, choose this system if you can bear the noise.

3. Double cyclone

Modernization gave birth to the double cyclone system. You will find it as the major flushing system in most TOTO toilet products. To produce a more efficient flush the double cyclone system makes use of two nozzles instead of rim holes, along with a propeller system to effectively force water down the siphon. Choose this system, if you want to save up on water.  The double cyclone water-saving ability is evident in the fact that it utilizes 1.28 gallons instead of the regular 1.6 gallons per flush.

4. Dual flush

The major takeaway feature of the dual flush system is the fact that it provides users the luxury of determining whether to do a partial flush or a full flush. As expected, the dual flush system is the most eco-friendly system that saves on water bills since less wastewater is generated.

It’s not every time the toilet is used, a full flush is required, sometimes liquid waste can be effectively removed by a partial flush. The dual flush toilet comes with two buttons, partial flush, and full flush to give users a choice.

We have reviewed some of the biggest brands that incorporate some of these features into their products. In this informative post, we took the needs of customers into consideration and came up with some matching products. Let’s dive in deeper!

Tips to Making Your Toilet Flush Better

Nothing can be more annoying than a toilet system that won’t flush or has a weak flushing power because you’ve done something wrong – perhaps you’ve flushed baby wipes down the toilet! We have been there before, nothing is more frustrating than a toilet that won’t completely flush out waste. Here are a few tips to help you get a better flush:

  • Test for clog: Test to see if there’s a clog. With regular use, you should be familiar with the kind of clog that renders your system defective.
  • Make Adjustment to the water level: Check to see that your toilet can perform a full-flush by opening and observing how the water fill line is reached. If water doesn’t get to the fill line then your toilet won’t perform a full flush. Have it fixed.
  • Adjust the flapper: Check to see if the flapper system that regulates the flush valve needs adjustment. If the flapper doesn’t rise enough or closes too quickly the system won’t get enough water to the rims for an efficient flush.
  • Check the rims: Check to see that the rim jets are not clogged.
  • Ghost Flushing: Some of the worst toilet systems may cause ghost flushing. If you face this issue, get it fixed soon or else you’ll drain lots of water for no reason.
