2. Understand the Different Flushing Systems

The flushing system is a key component of any toilet bowl. It determines water efficiency, noise levels, and flushing power. Here are the main types:

  • Gravity-Feed Flushing:

    • Uses the force of gravity to pull water from the tank into the bowl.

    • Simple and quiet, making it a popular choice for residential bathrooms.

    • However, it might not be as powerful in clearing waste as other systems.

  • Pressure-Assisted Flushing:

    • Utilizes pressurized air to deliver a powerful flush.

    • Ideal for high-traffic bathrooms as it clears waste more efficiently.

    • It’s noisier and more expensive but worth the investment for performance.

  • Dual-Flush Systems:

    • Provides two flushing options: a low-volume flush for liquid waste and a full-volume flush for solid waste.

    • Environmentally friendly, as it helps conserve water.

    • A perfect choice for households looking to reduce their water bills.
