How a Toilet Works

A toilet works by installing it over a drainage hole in the floor and attaching it to water supply lines.

The tank is assembled on the back of the toilet bowl to provide a flow of water necessary for flushing the toilet.

Toilet Flushing Types

Toilet flushing types range from low flow, gravity, dual, automatic, and pressure assisted. All types of toilets use water to move the waste down the drain to a septic or sewer system. There are advantages to each type of toilet flushing system.

Fundamentals of an Elongated Toilet

Many consider an elongated toilet a luxury toilet. It offers a larger, more comfortable seating area. However, they are not recommended for tight spaces but with the design of larger bathrooms, these models are becoming a popular choice for homeowners.

The Dual Flushing Toilet

The advantages to the dual flushing toilet allows the user the option of two flushes, thus reducing the amount of water used per flush.

Therefore, the dual flushing toilet makes it environmentally friendly and a cost-conscious purchase.

Dual Flush Toilet Options

How Does a Dual Flushing Toilet Function?

Dual flushing toilets offer the consumer a choice between water usage with each flush. With the short flush, you use only half the water and with the long flush, you use all the water to clear the waste from the bowl. The main function of a dual flushing toilet is to conserve water and as a result, a reduction in the consumer's water bill.

How Do Tankless Toilets Function?

Even though the initial cost of the tank less toilet is higher than that of the traditional tank models the major draw to the tank less model is the power of the flush which eliminates waste more efficiently which in turn reduces the amount of water used by not having to flush more than once.

Shopping for a Low Flush Toilet

Due to the recent inventions of the low flush and ultra low flush models many consumers today are seeking these models to save water as well as money. The initial up front cost is considerably higher however, the return on the investment will be seen in low water bills in months to come.
