Toilets with a sink on the tank: the advantages of the combined options

Those who first heard about such a strange construction, may unwittingly think: for what purpose such a combination was created? Also the question of hygiene arises: will it comply with all norms and rules? Will it be difficult to install and maintain such specific equipment? This article will help to understand all the intricacies of a toilet bowl combined with a sink, find out all the advantages and errors of a sanitary equipment, and also find out what types of this toilet bowl are on sale.

Such a modification of the toilet will fit perfectly into a small bathroom or shower room. It includes several functions due to which you can perform several procedures simultaneously.Everyone knows that after visiting 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 with a sink on the cistern, called combunitasis, 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 re-using water. This is especially noticeable for a large family, while water consumption is minimized by 25%.

In all variations of the hybrid toilet bowls, the discharge of water from the tap for hygienic handwashing occurs when the user presses a button on the tank for draining. Then this water passes the path from the sink and comes to the drain tank, where it falls into a special filter for cleaning from soap, foam and other hygiene products. This filter has a neutralizing property; it disinfects water and eliminates odor.

To avoid overflow, the tank is equipped with a special automatic system., which controls the flow of water through the filter, which allows you to safely wash your hands and not think about the emergency situation associated with the flooding of the bathroom.The water flow will independently begin to fill the tank and will automatically stop at a certain moment.

Now let's talk about the structure of the hybrid toilet. It consists of two self-contained parts: a toilet bowl with a cistern and sinks that we are used to. The washbasin, in addition to its direct destination, is also the lid of the cistern. The toilet directly includes both the bowl itself and the tank for draining, 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 hardware configurations can be on the side or on top. Most often, this device on combo-unit is located on the side, since a sink is mounted on top of the drain tank. This model is different from the classical overflow system: a pipe in a conventional toilet is much smaller than in a hybrid one. In case the liquid received after washing the hands becomes insufficient, the water in the combo-cavities can be filled in the traditional way. For the stable operation of the hybrid toilet in the drain system is a sufficient amount of water.And the differences of the sink are in a special form, mounting options and the presence of nozzles, which in this design the whole system.

Production of comunitazov in the modern world is not limited to the model with a sink on the tank, there are improved modifications that include a hygienic shower. This greatly increases the functionality of bathroom equipment.

Combo-hunters have many advantages.

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

• The installation of the combo unit can also be attributed to the advantages, since the installation of the equipment does not require additional laying of the water supply system. Installation of a hybrid is similar to installation of a usual toilet bowl.
• The most important advantage of using a combined toilet bowl in everyday life was saving water. If your apartment is equipped with meters for metering cold and hot water, then in this situation water saving will be noticeable due to the use of secondary water that has been cleaned with specialized filters. Taking into account the fact that recently housing and communal services tariffs do not stand still, but are constantly growing, combo-onsite becomes a kind of life hack, necessary in the modern world.

• With careful use of this design will serve you for many years due to its strength and durability.
• The treatment of comounitaza does not differ from the usual, standard detergents are used.
• It is possible to install this equipment in any living space: in an apartment, in a country house, in a country house, or in public places where people live.

This design has its drawbacks.

• It is possible to bring only cold water to the toilet, so washing your hands in the sink is possible only with such water.
• Another disadvantage is the difficult access to the sink. It lies in the design features.
• But the most important minus in the use of combunitasis is that some people have a squeamishness on a psychological level, so it will be problematic for them to use the sink for such hygienic procedures as cleaning the teeth, washing, shaving.

To decide on the purchase and installation of a hybrid toilet for your bathroom, you must consciously accept.

• If you decide to purchase a combined toilet bowl, pay attention to the model with the bowl in its side: it allows you to get closer to the sink.
• In the operation of the combo unit, mechanical shocks are forbidden, since they can lead to cracks and chips, which will damage the system and cause water to flow in the box.
• If you decide to install combo-joints, then during installation, the minimum displacement of the drain tank is allowed, which will allow easier access to engineering equipment.

• The treatment of the toilet bowl occurs with the usual cleaning products, but it is worth carrying out disinfection much more often than a conventional toilet bowl,to avoid the specific odor hygiene procedures. Disinfection with special solutions should be carried out daily.
• Another important aspect in the selection of a comfortable model is that the drain button should be located on the side, and the tank should have perfectly smooth edges.
• If the water in the barrel is over, then the drukspuler skidless system, a feature of the hybrid toilet bowl that will enable you to flush the toilet without water, will come to the rescue.
• Washbasin must be with a flat bottom.
