Tips for choosing the perfect toilet for your Bathroom
Buying a new toilet can be overwhelming. Past every toilet's
sticker price and look, how can you make certain you're buying the best one for
your family?
A decent toilet will be with you for a considerable length
of time, so we at Mansfield Plumbing need to help you pick the perfect one by
breaking down common toilet terms.
GPF
These three letters speak to one of the toilet's most
critical highlights. "GPF" remains for gallons per flush and reveals
to you how much water your toilet will use. The lower the "GPF," the
more water and cash you'll save.
HET
HET stands for "high-effectiveness toilet," a
title held by any toilet that uses 1.28 gallons per flush or less. Not
exclusively do HETs help you save water and lower your month to month charge,
but some nearby water authorities offer discounts for purchasing this type of
toilet. Make sure to watch that your HET conveys the EPA's WaterSense mark (an
independent certification for water-effective items). At Mansfield, we list the
greater part of our HETs together at Mansfield High Productivity Toilets.
Guide Rating
While purchasing a water-saving toilet is an option, you'll
additionally need to ensure it has a powerful flush, so you never need to flush
twice. Take a gander at the toilet's Guide Rating to identify how many grams of
strong waste your toilet can flush. This rating depends on independent lab
testing. The minimum performance standard is 250, and the most extreme is
1,000.
Dual-Flush Toilet
Dual-flush toilets accompany two flush options: a button
split into two that uses a higher gpf for strong waste, and a lower gpf for
different flushes; the second option is a lever that is lifted up for fluid
waste and pushed down for strong waste. For instance, at Mansfield, one of our
dual-flush toilets – the Enso – uses a button that flushes 1.1 gpf or 1.6 gpf
given your flushing needs.
Rough In
Before buying a new toilet, you'll need to check the
"rough in" for your present one.
The "rough in" speaks to the separation between
the wall and floor drain of the toilet. The standard unpleasant in is 12".
If you have a more seasoned home, your toilet may have a 10" or 14"
harsh in.
ADA Consistent
If a toilet is ADA Consistent, it meets the benchmarks for
toilet seat height for the American With Disabilities Act. The ADA standard is
17"- 19" from floor to the highest point of the toilet seat.
Prolonged vs Round Front
These two terms depict the shape of the toilet bowl. A lengthened
plan is ordinarily the most comfortable but may require a bit more space in
your bathroom. If you're buying a toilet for a smaller bathroom, consider a
toilet with a round front.
Two-piece toilet
A great many people have a two-piece toilet in their home
with a different tank and a base (two pieces). Another option is the one-piece
toilet that capacities the same but is less demanding to clean and by and large
conveys a higher sticker price.
