Is it better to buy a siphon toilet or a direct flush toilet? What's the difference and which one is better?

Which one is better? Which one is suitable? Take a closer look below!

The flushing principles of toilets on the market today are basically two categories: direct flush type and siphon type. Siphon type is divided into vortex siphon and jet siphon. There is a complete pipeline in the siphon toilet, which is in the shape of an inverted "S". The slope of the pool wall is gentle, and the noise problem has been improved. It has the characteristics of strong sewage discharge capacity and large cleaning area, so most toilets, especially All conjoined ones adopt siphon type. The biggest advantage is that the flushing noise is small, which is also called silent. Easily flushes away dirt adhering to the toilet surface. The disadvantage is: the water storage area at the bottom of the pool increases.

Basic introduction

A siphon toilet is equipped with a complete pipeline inside, in the shape of an inverted "S". The slope of the pool wall is gentle, and the noise of the siphon toilet is low. A kind of toilet.

It has the characteristics of strong sewage discharge capacity and large cleaning surface, so most toilets, especially one-piece toilets, adopt siphon type. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages

No matter what kind of toilet, the first thing to decide is the pipe that leads down. If the pipe has a U-shaped trap, choose the direct flush type. If there is no trap, you can Choose siphon type

Siphon type toilet:

There is a complete pipe inside, in the shape of an inverted "S", the slope of the pool wall is gentle, and the noise problem is improved;

It has the characteristics of strong sewage discharge capacity and large cleaning area, so most toilets, especially one-piece toilets, adopt siphon type.

The biggest advantage of the siphon type is that it makes less flushing noise, which is also called silent.

Siphon toilets can easily flush away dirt adhering to the surface of the toilet

Disadvantages: The water storage area at the bottom of the pool increases

Direct flush toilets:

p>

Using the great thrust formed by the compressed air, the flushing speed is fast, the momentum is strong, the sewage discharge is strong, the speed is fast, the water is less, and there is no leakage.

Since the direct flush type uses the instantaneous and powerful kinetic energy of the water flow, the sound of impacting the pipe wall is relatively loud.

Most rear drainage systems are straight flush. The diameter of the sewer pipe of a direct flush toilet is large, and it is easy to flush down larger dirt

Disadvantages: the noise is loud when discharging sewage

The flushing method of the toilets on the market today is The water principle is basically two types of large-suction toilets: direct flush type and siphon type. The siphon type is divided into vortex siphon and front jet siphon.

1. Direct flush toilet

Direct flush toilet uses the momentum of water flow to discharge feces. Generally, the pool wall is steeper and the water storage area is small. In this way, the water power is concentrated and it is convenient. The power of falling water around the circle increases, and the flushing efficiency is high.

Advantages: The flushing pipe of the direct flush toilet is simple, the path is short, and the pipe diameter is thick (generally 9 to 10 cm in diameter). The gravity acceleration of the water can be used to flush the stool clean. The process is short. Compared with the siphon type, in terms of flushing capacity, the direct flush toilet does not have a return bend and flushes directly. It is easy to flush away larger dirt and is less likely to cause blockage during the flushing process. There is no need to prepare a toilet in the bathroom. Set up a paper basket. In terms of water saving, it is also better than the siphon toilet.

Disadvantages: The biggest disadvantage of the direct flush toilet is that the flushing sound is loud, and because the water surface is small, scaling is easy to occur, and the anti-odor function is not as good as that of the siphon toilet. In addition, the direct flush toilet is not as good as the siphon toilet. There are currently relatively few varieties of flush toilets on the market, and the choice is not as wide as that of siphon toilets.

2. Front siphon type

The front siphon type toilet is a siphon squat toilet technical principle invented by Ida. It also uses Ida’s original patented solid double-reinforced safety overload technology. Visible water saving, audible muteness, and tactile ultra-cleanliness, Ida spent 10 years to completely form his own unique product style and character.

Product advantages:

First: truly created the front siphon technology. Contrary to the traditional toilet pipe structure, it is a front siphon type.

Second: truly ultra-clean technology.

The spray hole is located at the rear, the shortest distance from the water tank, which is nearly 30 centimeters shorter than a traditional toilet.

Third: Really save water resources. The water tank accessories no longer use two buttons, and each flush does not exceed 3 liters.

Fourth: The embodiment of true humanistic design. The product structure uses Ida's original patented solid double-reinforced safety overload technology.

Fifth: The first company to create a medium-to-high water tank that is silent. It has created a precedent for silent and environmentally friendly technology for medium and high water tanks.

Sixth: Really smooth sewage discharge. Large-diameter sewage pipes have strong sewage discharge capabilities.

3. Vortex siphon

This kind of toilet flushing port is located on one side of the bottom of the toilet. When flushing, the water flow forms a vortex along the pool wall, which will increase the impact of the water flow on the toilet. The flushing intensity of the pool wall also increases the suction force of the siphon, which is more conducive to discharging the internal contents of the toilet.

4. Jet siphon

Further improvements have been made to the siphon toilet. A jet auxiliary channel is added to the bottom of the toilet, aiming at the center of the sewage outlet. When flushing, , part of the water flows out from the water distribution holes around the toilet seat, and part of it is sprayed out from the jet nozzle. This kind of toilet uses a large water flow momentum based on siphon to quickly wash away the dirt.

Advantages: The biggest advantage of the siphon toilet is that it makes little flushing noise, which is called silent. In terms of flushing ability, the siphon toilet can easily flush away the dirt adhered to the surface of the toilet. Because the siphon has a higher water storage capacity, the anti-odor effect is better than that of the direct flush toilet. Nowadays, there are many varieties of siphon toilets on the market. It is difficult to buy a toilet. There are more options.

Disadvantages: When flushing, the siphon toilet must first release water to a very high water level, and then flush the dirt down. Therefore, a certain amount of water is required to achieve the purpose of flushing. At least Using 8 liters to 9 liters of water is relatively water-consuming. The diameter of the siphon drainage pipe is only about 56 centimeters, and it is easy to get clogged when flushing, so toilet paper cannot be thrown directly into the toilet. Installing a siphon toilet usually requires a paper basket and a spatula

Sitting The anti-splash and anti-"stick" functions of the toilet

The anti-splash function of the toilet: If you want to achieve the purpose of splash prevention when choosing a toilet, you must choose one with the drain outlet as far back as possible (old-fashioned toilet The drains were basically at the back, and there was no such thing as splash protection at that time). Secondly, the water surface should be small, so you need to go to the home where the installation is installed. We only focused on the back of the drain and ignored the issue of water storage. As a result, we still failed to achieve the purpose of preventing splashing. Third, the slope of the inner chamber of the toilet should be small, so that the water surface in the front is shallow and can also prevent splashing. The above three points are actually related to the water surface. When manufacturers design splash-proof toilets, as long as they control the water surface and maintain shallow water in specific places, they can achieve the splash-proof function and "anti-stick". The poop is stuck in the toilet, and it’s still embarrassing when guests come.
