We need to use the toilet every day to get rid of unnecessary substances in the body. Therefore, the quality of the toilet must be good to ensure our daily needs. How to choose a toilet to pick out the good quality? Today I will tell you how Choose a toilet and introduce seven aspects that determine the quality of the toilet.

How to choose a toilet

1.  Judging by weight, under normal circumstances, the heavier the toilet, the better the quality. The weight of a relatively ordinary toilet is basically around 50 kg; while for a good-quality toilet, its weight is around 100 kg. Therefore, when we look at the toilet, we can slightly lift the water tank cover with both hands, estimate its weight, and judge its quality.

2.  From the perspective of the number of sewage outlets owned by the toilet. Nowadays, many brands of merchants reserve 2 to 3 sewage outlets when they produce toilets, but this will affect the sewage capacity of the toilet, so a toilet with a sewage outlet is a better choice. In addition, the toilet’s drain will be designed as a down-drain or a horizontal drain. Therefore, when choosing a toilet, you need to choose according to the bathroom’s drain design, so as to ensure the smoothness of the drain.

3.  Judging from the glaze inside the toilet, if the quality of the toilet is very good, then the surface must be smooth and the color is relatively smooth. In addition, you can touch the inner wall of the toilet’s sewage outlet to see if it is rough. The rougher it is, the worse the quality. It is easy to damage after long-term use.

4.  It can be distinguished from the caliber of the toilet’s sewage outlet. If the inner wall of the toilet is designed with a glazed surface, it is not easy to get stains when using it. The drainage capacity can be very strong, and the probability of blockage is very small when using it in the future. When we buy a toilet, we can measure the caliber of the sewage outlet, at least one palm can be stretched out.

5.  Judging from the toilet tank, if the noise is too loud when pumping, it is definitely not good. Another way to check is to add a little blue ink to the water tank and see if blue water flows out of the toilet. This can be used to judge whether the toilet is leaking.

6.  The service life of the toilet has a great relationship with its water parts, so it must not be ignored. To judge the quality of the toilet water part, you can use the button on the water tank to identify it. When you press the button, look at the sound. If it is crisp, it means no problem.

7.  If you want to consider the usability of the toilet, you also need to look at the way of flushing. In the current market, there are many types of toilet flushing methods, and each has different effects, so you need to choose according to your own actual situation.

8.  Check the materials used for the toilet lid, although the material of the toilet lid is plastic, there are three or six grades of plastics. Engineering plastics are more expensive than ordinary plastics. The human body feels more comfortable in contact with engineering plastics than ordinary plastics, the cover is not easy to break either.

Next, I want to add some basic knowledge about the type of toilet , and analyze its advantages and disadvantages one by one, combining different advantages and disadvantages to give reasonable suggestions for installation.
