Toilet flushing methods: advantages and disadvantages of siphon and straight flush

The main flushing methods of toilet are siphon and straight flush, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Flushing effect

Siphon: the neck of the siphon is slender, and the water level is high when flushing, and the dirt goes down with the water. High water seal, not easy to stink. Straight flush: simple pipeline, short path and thick neck. Using the gravity acceleration of water, dirt can be washed easily, which is not easy to cause blockage, but it is easy to produce odor.

Flushing noise

Siphon: It uses dirt absorption, and the impact sound of water flow is very small, so the flushing sound is particularly small, so it is called silent toilet. Straight: Use the instantaneous powerful energy of the water flow to wash away the dirt, and the sound of the water flow hitting the pipe wall and the water tank is loud. The flushing sound is louder.

Water saving effect

Siphon type: the design structure determines that backwater needs more water to isolate odor, and the water consumption is relatively higher than that of direct flushing. Direct-flushing type: use gravity acceleration of water to wash away dirt, with less water consumption each time.

market price

Toilets are relatively cheap.

Suitable apartment type

Siphon toilet is short and fat, which is more suitable for larger toilets. The toilet is relatively "thin and tall", which is the first choice for small units with relatively valuable bathroom area.
