When Buying A Toilet

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 16, 2008 -- There is no plumbing fixture in your house more important to your health, hygiene and comfort, than a reliable toilet. When buying a new toilet, keep in mind function, measure, water conservation and clog potential.

Before purchasing a toilet take measures. Check the distance from the wall to the center of the drain pipe in the floor, under base of toilet (commonly 10-14 inches). Allow enough elbow room in all directions. Most toilets are two pieces; a bowl part that sits on the floor over the drain and a separate upright tank. One piece toilets are generally sleeker, but are more expensive and often have more complex mechanisms. By law, toilets sold in the U.S. use 1.6 gallons of water or less to flush. Switching from the old 3.5 gallon toilets to the 1.6 gallon models can save 14,000 gallons of water a year for a family of four, and create much less water pollution. New conservation regulation introduced 1.28 gallons toilets to the market.

What about clogging? is a frequent question by toilet buyers. Most toilet clogs are caused by large wads of tissue or foreign objects, but rarely by waste. Major makers fight clogs by devising an optimal relationship between the position and number of water jets, and the size and design of the trapway. They test for clog potential by flushing sponges, ping-pong balls and tissue wads. As a toilet buyer, look for a glazed trapway of at least 2 inches.

Most plumbers will advice a toilet buyer to focus on the basic function of the toilet and its water conservation abilities, instead of form.
