Complete guide and review of choosing a toilet

The toilet is one of the necessary and important components in every home and workplace, which plays a vital role in maintaining people's health and comfort. This device is trendy due to its ergonomic design, especially for the elderly or those with mobility issues. Considering the wide variety of these products in the market, choosing the best option can be challenging. In this article, we will examine the types of toilets, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and the key points in choosing and maintaining them.

What is a toilet?

Designed like a seat, this toilet allows people to use it comfortably while sitting. This type of toilet was brought to Iran from Europe, which is why it is called "farang". In the Middle Ages, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, public toilets were rare in Europe, and people relieved themselves wherever they were. This situation not only caused public dissatisfaction but also caused health problems. With the occurrence of intellectual and social revolutions in Europe, the need for public health was felt more, and public toilets gradually expanded. The first public toilet was opened in London in 1852. The toilet, known as the "retirement room", quickly became popular, and the idea quickly spread throughout Europe and then around the world. The toilet has become more popular due to its ergonomic design and ease of use compared to the traditional toilet. These types of toilets are especially used in public environments such as restaurants, hotels, and shopping centers.

Advantages of using a toilet

Doctors recommend using the toilet for several reasons, especially for people with leg and back problems. Even if you are in perfect health, it is better to replace your traditional toilet with a model one, because continuous use of Iranian toilets can damage joints and cause long-term problems such as back pain and leg pain.

Causes of joint damage

The main reason for these injuries is the way of sitting in the traditional toilet. Imagine being in this position for five minutes every time you sit on a traditional toilet. In this case, a lot of your weight is placed on the knee joint. This constant pressure can gradually damage the joints. This situation may repeat several times a day and eventually cause more serious problems.

Features of modern toilets

Modern toilets have advanced features that make the experience of using the toilet much more convenient and hygienic. Some of these features include:

• Automatic washing systems: These systems allow you to wash more hygienically without using paper towels and using automatic washing systems.
• Seat heater: This feature is especially useful in the cold seasons of the year and provides more comfort.
• Air conditioning systems: These systems eliminate unpleasant odors and create a fresh and fragrant environment.

Types of toilets based on the discharge mechanism

One of the most important points in buying a toilet is to pay attention to its emptying mechanism. To choose the best evacuation system, we review the features of each:

1- Cascading drainage system

The flush system is one of the oldest toilet mechanisms. In this method, water is pushed from the tank to the upper edge of the bowl. There are holes on the edge of the bowl from which the water flows down as a waterfall and drains.

benefits:

1. High water pressure usually reduces clogging problems.

Disadvantages:

1. Excessive water consumption.
2. Loud noise when emptying

2- Waterjet discharge system

The waterjet discharge system is one of the new systems that discharge using shooting. In this system, there are holes in the rim of the bowl that wash the bowl with water. Water is directed from the channel to the shot, which is located in the depth of the bowl, and the discharge is done by pressure.

benefits:

1. Better bowl washing
2. High-pressure discharge reduces clogging problems.

Disadvantages:

1. Water consumption may be higher compared to more advanced methods.

3- Turbojet discharge system or three shooting

The most advanced and best exhaust system is the turbojet. This method works almost like the waterjet method but with one important difference. In waterjet draining, the bowl is washed with a drip system. But in turbojet, instead of a pouring system, there are two shots above the bowl. The bowl is washed with two upper shots and emptied with a lower shot.

benefits:

1. Less water consumption.
2. Less noise when emptying
3. Shorter discharge time
4. Better and more complete washing of the bowl.

Disadvantages:

1. The cost of installation and maintenance may be higher.

Types of toilets based on installation

The difference in appearance of toilets has a great impact on how they are installed. Common wash basins in the market are offered in four models: one-piece, two-piece, wall, and automatic.

1- One-piece toilet

This model is molded in one piece and the tank and toilet bowl are connected. A one-piece toilet is highly hygienic because it has fewer seams and its body is easy to clean. In terms of appearance, it has better integrity and shape than the two-piece model.

benefits:

1. High hygiene due to fewer seams
2. Easier to clean
3. Integrated and beautiful appearance

Disadvantages:

1. Due to its greater weight, it may be more difficult to install and move.

2- Two-piece toilet

In this model, the tank and toilet bowl are separate and their installation is done separately. Two-piece models require more maintenance so that contamination does not remain in the seam between the bowl and the tank. Usually, the price of the two-piece model is lower than other toilet models and it has an acceptable variety.

benefits:

1. lower price
2. More variety in design

Disadvantages:

1. You need more maintenance because of the seams
2. More complicated cleaning

3- Wall hung toilet

Wall Hang is the newest and most stylish toilet model. This model does not have a base and is installed on the wall. The toilet tank in this model is usually placed inside the wall; For this reason, it occupies much less space in the bathroom. This model is easy to wash and clean, it minimizes noise due to the placement of the equipment inside the wall, it has a very high resistance despite the equipment and fortifications inside the wall, its height is adjustable and it consumes much less water.

Advantages:

1. Occupying less space
2. Easy to wash and clean
3. Noise reduction
4. high resistance
5. Adjustable height
6. Less water consumption

Disadvantages:

1. More installation and equipment costs
2. Requires a resistant wall for installation

4- Automatic toilet

The new generation of smart toilets are automatic toilets that sell less due to their high price. These toilets have advanced features such as a self-flushing system, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, music, etc.

Advantages:

1. Advanced facilities and more comfort
2. Improve personal hygiene with a self-cleaning system
3. Additional features such as massager and music

Disadvantages:

1. expensive
2. The need for specialized maintenance and repairs

Toilet price

The price of the toilet can vary depending on its type, model, brand, and features. One of the most important factors that affect the price of a toilet is the type and mechanism of its discharge. For example, toilets with a turbojet or three-shot flushing system are usually more expensive than models with a cascade or waterjet flushing system. This price difference is due to better performance and less water consumption in more advanced models. The brand and quality of construction are also important factors in determining the price of a toilet. Famous and reliable brands usually have higher prices, but in return, they offer higher manufacturing quality, longer durability, and better after-sales service. Choosing a reliable brand can prevent possible problems in the future and provide a better toilet experience.

Is the French toilet better or the Iranian toilet?

Choosing the type of toilet should be done based on your conditions and needs. Each type of foreign and Iranian toilet has its advantages and disadvantages, which we will discuss below.

Due to its ergonomic design and greater comfort, the toilet is more suitable for people with joint problems, foot pain, knee pain, back discs, and arthritis. It is also recommended for the elderly or those who have undergone surgery in the abdomen and lower body to use the toilet. This type of toilet helps to reduce the pressure on the joints and muscles and prevents the development or exacerbation of chronic pain. On the other hand, the Iranian toilet can help improve intestinal and digestive problems due to the way it sits and puts pressure on the stomach. This type of toilet is more suitable for people who have constipation. Also, in public places, using an Iranian toilet can help prevent skin and fungal diseases, because direct contact with the surface of the toilet is less.

Considering the advantages and disadvantages of both types of toilets, you can make a better decision and choose the toilet that provides you with the best combination of comfort, hygiene, and health.
