Our experienced Burlington plumber can tell you that there are many options to consider when buying a toilet. Toilets come in a variety of heights, bowl shapes, colours, styles, and flushing styles. New developments in plumbing technology have led to even more options to consider and we’re going to talk about them!
Gravity-feed toilets are your standard toilets. Just like their name, these toilets use gravity to power the flush. Pushing the tank lever lifts the toilet flapper and allows gravity to draw water from the toilet tank and into the toilet bowl. When the water level drops inside the tank, the float valve will lower which opens the water inlet valve and allows water to refill the tank.
The water from the tank goes down into the bowl and pushes the waste through the main drain. Modern toilets have something called an S-bend, which is a bend in the toilet that goes upwards. This traps water in the toilet the same way a P-trap does. The trapped water blocks odours and gases from rising through the drain pipes into your home.
Once the water level sufficiently drops inside the tank, the flapper will close automatically. Water will then start to fill inside the tank once the water level becomes adequate and the float valve will then shut off the water.
Vacuum-assist toilets create a vacuum in a tank within the main toilet tank. This vacuum tank is connected to the toilet trap, which carries waste out of the bowl and into the toilet drain. When you flush a vacuum-assisted toilet, the suction created in the vacuum tank is used to help suck waste out of the bowl.
These toilets are more expensive than standard gravity-feed toilets. They provide a strong flush and are very water efficient. They may cost more up front but do save you in the long run.
Two-piece toilets are most common. They consist of two pieces: the tank and the bowl. Two-piece toilets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. They are less expensive, and you can replace either the tank or the bowl if they become damaged or get broken.
Wall-mounted toilets are toilets that are mounted to the wall. They are smaller, very sleek, and can be adjusted to the perfect height for your body. They don’t rest upon the floor, which makes it easy to keep the surrounding area clean. They are very modern and give your bathroom a new aged look.
With that said, wall-mounted toilets can be difficult to install, and they are expensive compared to other toilet types. Most bathrooms are designed with a floor-mounted toilet covering the drain. Transitioning your bathroom from a floor-mounted toilet to a wall-mounted toilet can require invasive work done on your home. But they look fabulous!
You read that right. Smart toilets are now a thing. When renovating your home and updating your bathroom, why not consider a toilet with futuristic capabilities? It might sound silly, but smart-toilets offer some interesting features.
Smart toilets are outfitted with sensors that activate the flushing mechanism when you have completed the job.
These nifty toilets will stop water from entering the bowl if the water level climbs too high. This is especially helpful for busy households with children. But anyone can appreciate an overflow-free toilet, less stress, and less mess.
Toilets with heated seats are now available, feel warm and secure while doing your business. A great way to keep your tushy comfortable all winter long!
On the outside, pressure-assisted toilets look the same as a gravity-feed toilet. Inside the tank, however, there is a secondary tank which creates air pressure to increase the power of the flush.
Pressure-assisted toilets have superior flushing abilities, so you have a lower chance of experiencing a toilet clog. They can also be comparatively water-efficient, requiring up to 30 percent less water to flush waste down the drain.
Choosing a pressure-assisted toilet is a good choice in older homes with sewage lines that clog frequently. However, there are a couple drawbacks compared to gravity-feed toilets.
Due to the nature of a pressure-assisted toilet and the air pressure used, these toilets are noticeably louder than a standard toilet. It can also be difficult to find replacement parts for pressure-assisted toilets, as they are less common. Pressure-assisted toilets cost more than traditional gravity flow toilets but again had high efficiency.
A dual-flush has two buttons on the top of the tank to give you options on how much water is used to flush.
If the water needed to remove waste is minimal, you have the option to use less water to rid your toilet of the waste.
If you think that your toilet is going to need all the help it can get to flush away the waste, you can choose to use the full toilet tank of water.
This helps with the use of your water, making the toilet that much more efficient.
One-piece toilets are modern and sleek-looking. As the name suggests, both the tank and the bowl are built into a single piece. One-piece toilets have less gaps where the tank and bowl connect, making them easier to clean. They are less prone to leaking, and they tend to be more durable.
The downsides are one-piece toilets are more expensive and they require a replacement of the entire unit when something goes wrong.
One-piece toilets are growing in popularity and help perfect the look of a modern bathroom.
With a bidet-toilet combo it saves you from needing a separate bidet installation to keep clean. The bidet is built right into the toilet. After using the toilet, simply clean yourself and enjoy the continued freshness. Never worry about toilet paper shortages again!
Have you ever thought about how filthy the toilet handle might be? People tend to flush after wiping, before washing their hands. Don’t stress!
Some smart toilets come with sensors that activate the toilet and flush waste once you’ve moved away. If you don’t want your toilet to decide when it’s time to flush, some models will trigger a flush when you wave your hand in front of a flush sensor. Making this, a hands-free device!
Cleaning a toilet bowl is our least favourite thing to do, now it has never been so easy. With the simple press of a button, a cleaning agent will dispense into the toilet bowl and flush all the nastiness away. In some models you can even choose between a quick-clean and a deep-clean. Making it so much easier to keep your throne clean!
These toilets come with nightlights that illuminate the bowl, allowing you to see the target in the dark. What better way to keep the piddle of the seat in the middle of the night!
