Toilet bowls "Anti-splash": advantages and functions of the system
When choosing toilets, most buyers try to choose the option that has as few side effects as possible, for example, splashes and splashes when flushing. At the moment, preference is given to products with the "Anti-splash" function. When choosing a product you like, you need to adhere to specific parameters, although the new models are still superior in their qualities to those released later.
What it is?
Toilets "Antivsplek" began to be produced a long time ago, but due to their low efficiency, they were not in demand. Modern products are designed with the highest quality and using the latest technologies. The design "Anti-splash" in the toilet assumes a minimum amount of different spraying when using it. The design is made in the form of a ceramic bowl with a special ledge. It prevents splashes from scattering when the water is drained and helps to retain the persistent "aroma" of the sewage system.
The main disadvantage of products of this type is a decent water consumption. In addition, a certain amount of water always accumulates on the ledge, which helps the formation of limescale, rust and various contaminants. But in our time this is not a big problem. Now on sale there is a large assortment of various cleaning products with which you can easily get rid of various stubborn dirt.
Good work of "Anti-splash" occurs only when the design of the drain hole is correctly installed. It should be narrow and tucked into the front or back of the toilet. In addition, the water level in the bowl should be as low as possible, and the drain should take place over the entire surface of the bowl. Today, dual flush porcelain designs are becoming more and more popular.
How to choose?
This Anti-Splash product has a funnel-shaped design that is best suited for personal hygiene.
These toilets differ from others in the following parameters:
- the drain hole is smaller than usual;
- the drain is shifted to the back wall;
- the drain channel is located below similar products;
- the front part of the bowl, going down, goes into a ledge, and then smoothly into the drain channel.
This design provides the best splash protection, but the main splash damper is designed to keep the water level low in the drain hole. If you want to buy a product with the Anti-splash system, you must take into account other parameters and characteristics. First of all, it is worth considering the size of the bathroom.
With a small area of \ u200b \ u200bthe bathrooms, which prevail in city apartments, the best option would be a wall-hung toilet or a floor-standing toilet with a hidden cistern. When installing such a toilet, there will be more free space.
These products are suitable for almost all premises, because they can be connected to all currently available sewer pipes. In addition, some versions of the Anti-Splash system are equipped with heated seats, a bidet, equipped with a rational drainage mechanism and treated with a special enamel to prevent contamination. When choosing, the main attention should be paid to the design of the drain hole. It should have a narrowed shape, be sure to be offset to the front or back. The top edge should have a special rim to make splashing more difficult.
When buying this product, you should look at the inner shape. The back of the toilet bowls of this system must be made at an angle.
The drainage system can be represented by the following types:
- horizontal, where the drained water flows down the back of the toilet;
- circular, when water is drained from three points, guaranteeing better rinsing.
The second type is preferable in that this flush function produces uniform flushing of the entire bowl of the structure, which facilitates the cleaning process.
When buying, it is worth paying attention to the toilet lid, which gives the product a complete look. Many lids are made as standard, but there are also models with automatic finishing. When closing the product, this is a very useful device, thanks to which the lid does not knock on the toilet bowl and does not damage its coating.
Always pay attention to the integrity of the product, to the absence of any minor damage, cracks and chips.
The inside of the toilet should be covered with enamel, for persuasiveness, you can run it over the surface with your fingertips. It is necessary to check the presence of all components: gaskets and fasteners. If the gaskets are made of silicone, then they are the best option as they have a long service life. For more convenient use for a long time, you should pay special attention to the height and size of the toilet seat.
Bowl shape
All toilets are manufactured with the following bowl shapes.
- Visor. Its main difference is that it practically completely prevents splashes from falling on a person. However, when men use such a toilet, urine splashes onto the walls and under the rim. And on this section of the toilet, water does not get into when draining and you have to wash it often, which creates some inconvenience;
- Poppet. This type of toilet bowl design has been used for a long time, now many manufacturers are returning to it again. This shape of the bowl also prevents splashing, but provided that a circular waste system is used in the toilet. But they also have a significant drawback - spray falls on the surface of the walls of the room;
- Funnel shape. This type of bowl is best suited for toilets with the Anti-Splash system, because it distributes water when flushed more evenly and effectively. In addition, a small amount of water is wasted, the toilet remains clean after flushing.
Drain outlet
Much attention is paid to the choice of the flush toilet bowl. It depends entirely on the sewage system installed in the bathroom.
Toilet bowls are made of the following types of drain necks:
- horizontal;
- vertical;
- oblique.
You need to give preference to one or another type of neck before starting the installation of the toilet. If desired, it is worth placing the toilet close to the wall, this will help to increase the free space, and then make sure whether the design with a horizontal funnel is suitable. If you cannot establish a sharp slope of the drain corrugation, you need to take a toilet with an oblique view of the drain neck.
Saving space
If the bathroom occupies a small area in the apartment, then in order to save free space, you can give preference to a toilet bowl with the "Anti-splash" function of a suspended structure. The difference between this type is that it is mounted in the wall thanks to a special mount. The water tank for this type of toilet bowl is placed behind a false wall and is not visible, only a push button for flushing remains on the wall. The tank of this design is small, flat and made of plastic.
The undoubted advantage of this type of toilets is considered to be the best conditions for keeping the floor clean, as well as the simplicity of the work on laying the floor tiles and combining the pattern.
Advice
Before buying a toilet bowl with the Anti-splash system, you should read the reviews, because they are not all positive.Products of new and unknown manufacturers are not always in reality similar to the required standards, and sometimes during operation they do not withstand the warranty period.
When purchasing this type of toilet, you should not completely trust the sellers that the products have the "Anti-splash" function. This does not always coincide with reality. Under the guise of this system, an ordinary toilet can be sold, but it is no longer possible to return it, since hygiene products are not accepted back.
In some cases, the offered toilet bowls, embedded under the Anti-Splash system, are not equipped with all devices to prevent splashing. There are products with a "shelf", but without a slope of the back wall or vice versa. They are not able to absorb all the drops that fall on the wall, so they often have to be washed with a brush. These units with the Anti-splash function must have all the characteristic parameters.
Most well-known manufacturers today process toilets with special enamel that does not absorb dirt, which is very convenient for those who do not want to use household chemicals.
