How to Choose a Toilet
The toilet is a key component to having a great bathroom. Besides appearance there are many aspects and features that should be considered when selecting the perfect toilet for your bathroom such as size, height, and flushing system. All toilets are not the same so it’s important to find one that best matches your budget and lifestyle.
Here’s what to consider when choosing a new toilet…
Siphonic or Wash Down?
Siphonic
In a siphonic action toilet, the trapway fills with water during the flush which initiates a siphonic action which “pulls” material out of the bowl while the water entering the bowl from the tank through the jet and the rim “pushes” material out. This simultaneous pushing and pulling completely evacuates the bowl during every flush.
Wash Down
In a wash down action toilet, the water from the tank pours into the bowl and washes the material down the outlet. It is a “pushing” action only, and does not evacuate the bowl. These toilets have small (4″ x 5″) water surface areas in the bowls that are deep down in the bowl.
Most US toilets are siphonic; many European toilets are wash down. Most toilets in Greater China are siphonic while many other countries in Asia Pacific are wash down.
What kind of flushing system is right for you?
If you have heavy usage and tend to clog toilets, you should consider a high performance flushing system. Larger flush valves (>2″ diameter) deliver water with more speed and force, and larger trapway outlets (>2″ diameter) move greater amounts of bulk material without clogging.
