Toilet bowls with a sink on a cistern: the advantages of combined options

Those who first heard about such a strange design may involuntarily think: for what purpose was such a combination created? The question of hygiene also arises: will it comply with all norms and rules? Will the installation and maintenance of such specific equipment be difficult? This article will help you understand all the intricacies of a toilet bowl combined with a sink, find out all the advantages and errors of a plumbing fixture, and also find out what types of this toilet are on sale.

This modification of the toilet will fit perfectly into a small bathroom or shower room. It includes several functions, thanks to which you can perform several procedures at the same time. Everyone knows that after going to the toilet, you need to wash your hands, and for this you need a sink. And if the area of ​​the apartment does not allow it to be installed, a toilet bowl with a sink on a cistern, called a combinitase, will come to the rescue. It differs from the usual equipment in that it has high production characteristics. The main indicator is the economical use of water, which is achieved by the reuse of water. This is especially noticeable for a large family, while water consumption is minimized by 25%.

In all hybrid toilets variations, water is ejected from the hygienic handwashing faucet when the user presses the button on the flushing cistern. This water then travels from the sink to the cistern, where it enters a special filter to remove soap, foam and other hygiene products. This filter has a neutralizing property, it disinfects the water and removes odors from it.

To avoid overflow, the tank is equipped with a special automatic system, which controls the water flow through the filter, which allows you to calmly wash your hands and not think about an emergency situation related to the flooding of the bathroom. The water flow will start filling the tank on its own and will automatically stop at a certain moment.

Now let's talk about the structure of a hybrid toilet. It consists of two self-sufficient parts: a toilet bowl with a cistern, which is familiar to us, and a sink. The washbasin, in addition to its direct purpose, is also the cover of the cistern. The toilet directly includes both the bowl itself and the cistern, which makes this device an indivisible unit. The models differ from each other in the configuration of the bowl, the drain mechanism and the material from which the toilet is made.

The drain button in various configurations of equipment can be located on the side or on top. Most often, this device on the combinitase is located on the side, since a sink is mounted on top of the cistern. This model differs from the classic one by the overflow system: the pipe in a conventional toilet is much smaller than in a hybrid one. In the event that the liquid received after washing the hands becomes insufficient, the water in the combinitase can be filled in the traditional way. There is a sufficient amount of water in the flush system for stable operation of the hybrid toilet. And the differences between the sink are in a special shape, mounting options and the presence of pipes, which in this design is a whole system.

The production of combinitases in the modern world is not limited to a model with a sink on a cistern, there are improved modifications that include a hygienic shower. This significantly increases the functionality of the bathroom equipment.

The combinitases have many advantages.

• An important positive feature is the saving of space in small apartments, thanks to which it is possible to directly equip the bathroom with all plumbing fixtures, household appliances and furniture necessary for the household.
• You can also highlight the hygienic function, which makes it very convenient to wash your hands after using the toilet. A separate bathroom complicates this procedure, which can sometimes lead to non-compliance with hygiene standards and rules.

• The installation of combinitase can also be attributed to the advantages, since during the installation of equipment it is not required to additionally lay the water supply system. Installing a hybrid is similar to installing a conventional toilet.
• The most important benefit of using a combo toilet in everyday life is that it saves water. If your apartment has meters for metering cold and hot water supply, then it is in this situation that water savings will be noticeable due to the use of secondary water, which has been purified with specialized filters. Taking into account the fact that recently housing and communal services tariffs do not stand still, but are constantly growing, combinitaz is becoming a kind of "life hack" necessary in the modern world.

• With careful use, this design will serve you for many years due to its strength and durability.
• The processing of kombinitase does not differ from the usual one; standard detergents are used.
• You can install this equipment in any living space: in an apartment, a country house, in a country house, as well as in public places where people stay.

This design also has its drawbacks.

• Only cold water supply is possible to the toilet, so washing your hands in the sink is possible only with this kind of water.
• Another inconvenience is the difficult access to the sink. It lies in the design features.
• But the most important disadvantage in using kombounitaz is that some people have disgust at the psychological level, so it will be problematic for them to use the sink for such hygienic procedures as brushing teeth, washing, shaving.

The decision to buy and install a hybrid toilet for your bathroom must be made consciously.

• If you decide to buy a combined toilet, pay attention to the model with the bowl pushed to the side: it makes it possible to get closer to the washbasin.
• Mechanical shocks are prohibited in the operation of combinitase, as they can lead to cracks and chips, which will disable the system and water leakage in the box will occur.
• If you decide to install a combinitase, then during installation a minimum displacement of the drain tank is allowed, which will make it easier to access the engineering equipment.

• The toilet bowl is treated with the usual cleaning agents, but it is worthwhile to disinfect it much more often than a regular toilet bowl in order to avoid a specific smell during hygiene procedures. Disinfection with special solutions should be carried out daily.
• Another important aspect in choosing a comfortable model is that the drain button should be located on the side, and the tank should have perfectly straight edges.
• If the water in the barrel runs out, then the tankless system "Drukspühler" will come to the rescue - a feature of the hybrid toilet bowl, which will make it possible to flush the toilet bowl without water.
• The washbasin must have a flat bottom.

Despite the fact that combinitases have become popular only recently, the sanitary ware market provides us with a huge assortment of models and manufacturers that differ from each other in price and quality of installation. The variety of models is also surprising: we can purchase a very compact combinitase or a multifunctional device that fits perfectly into any bathroom interior.
