Cup Toilets: Features, Disadvantages and Benefits

The toilet bowl forms are currently funnel-shaped, canopy and dish-shaped. The choice of these devices is one of the most important decisions during the repair of the bathroom. This article will discuss in more detail the features, advantages and disadvantages of the toilet bowls.

The dish-shaped toilet bowl is an equipment equipped with a platform (shelf) where waste products accumulate and then are removed under the influence of water flow. The drain hole is always shifted forward.

A significant advantage of toilet bowls with a bowl-shaped bowl is the absence of splashes. In addition, if you inadvertently drop the keys, phone or other important item in the toilet, it will not immediately fall into the sink, but will linger on the shelf. The advantages of toilet bowls end there.

The disadvantages include the following points:

• not all waste is well washed off the shelves, so often have to use a brush;
• water stagnates on the platform, which leads to the formation of rusty deposits;
• in bathrooms with toilet bowls of this type there are often unpleasant odors;
• Since this model is old-fashioned, not all manufacturers make toilets of this type, so you’ll have to shop around to find such a device.

The type of bowl is not the last criterion when choosing a toilet bowl. If you decide on this, then you should pay attention to other characteristics.

Toilets are floor, wall and mortise.

Floor toilets most common. Such a device is attached to the floor with screws.

They are of two types:

• compact;
• monoblock.

The compact design involves the separation of the bowl and cistern, which, in turn, can be placed on a solid or added shelf. This solution makes it possible to change part of the device if necessary.

Monoblock is a complete system, some parts are not subject to repair, but it is much cheaper than the previous version.

Wall-hung toilets are less common, due to complexity in installation. In this case, the bowl is attached to the false wall, behind which the drain tank and the drain system are hidden.But this type of design takes up less space.

Mortise is most often used in places with high traffic (cafes, theaters, hospitals).

There are three types of connecting the device to the sewer. They correspond to the possible location of sewer pipes in your house: with direct, oblique and discharge into the floor. In the first case, the drain device is made horizontally. Oblique release made half angle. Release to the floor - vertically. The choice of the type of drain depends only on the location of the drain pipes in your home. Choosing the appropriate issue, you do not have to purchase additional connecting corrugations.

Toilets differ in the type of drain:

• rear - flush sewage more efficiently due to the strong flow of water emanating from the rear wall;
• circular - washes all the walls inside the bowl without splashing.

Materials for the manufacture of toilet bowls may also vary. The most common and inexpensive is faience. It has a porous structure, due to which it absorbs odors and makes care difficult. Porcelain is an expensive but better material. Not so often in the store you can find plumbing, made of stainless steel or natural stone.
