Electronic toilet: design and operation features

In this article we will talk about what constitutes an electronic toilet, how functional it is and what are the features of its use. It cannot be said that the topic of the choice and application of electrified sanitary ware for arranging a bathroom is of particular relevance.

Such adaptations appeared relatively recently on the international market, and on the post-Soviet territory, it is all the more customary to use traditional solutions. On the other hand, multifunctional toilets, combined with a bidet, gradually appear in specialized stores, which means that the theme requires lighting.

Construction features

Most of the electrified sanitary ware on the market are products, the functionality of which is provided by the technological filling of the cover and the saddler. If the traditional toilet is equipped with a conventional plastic or wooden lid, then in the case of an electric analog, everything is an order of magnitude more complicated. This compact device allows you to make the usual "night vase" miracle technology.

In fact, an electric toilet is two separate devices, namely:

• low-functional bowl, which is traditionally made of earthenware and is responsible for receiving and draining drains;
• electronic bidet combining the functions of a seat, bidet, control unit, supply water heater, etc.

A multifunctional cover for full-fledged work is connected to a 220 V socket. In order for the operation of the device to be completely safe, all conductive parts of the structural elements are completely isolated and withstand direct contact with water.

The bidet is connected via a flexible hose to the plumbing system. The design of the majority of modifications provides for the presence of an integrated unit for heating the water supplied.

To control all functions, there is a special remote control panel or a panel attached to the side with controls and indicators that display data on the system operation.

Important: Some modifications of multifunctional covers are universal devices that can be installed on most modern toilet bowls. But most of the covers are adapted for use only on certain models of plumbing, and this should be taken into account when choosing the best option.

Feature set

What can smart toilets and how much the price of these devices depends on their functionality?

Of course, the more able the bidet seat, the higher their price. Again, the cost depends on the brand.

The need to purchase a smart toilet

Instructions for operating modern plumbing in the entire post-Soviet space are not much different from instructions for using a toilet bowl half a century ago. Meanwhile, today in the same Japan or South Korea, ordinary toilets can be found either in public places or in apartments of low-income people.

The rest of the Japanese or Koreans use an electronic toilet and it is unlikely when to return to the old-style plumbing. What explains this choice?

In the east and in a number of western countries, many people know that multifunctional electronic toilets are not a tribute to fashion or a desire to stand out against the background of owners of wash-toilets. Multifunctional bidet covers are, above all, taking care of your health by observing the basic rules of intimate hygiene.

Installing an electric toilet with your own hands is just as easy as preparing ordinary plumbing for use. It is even easier to install a bidet cover, which is sufficient to fix on the rim of the toilet bowl.

The only condition for the normal functioning of smart plumbing is the need for electricity supply. To do this, in the process of installation it is necessary to conduct power wiring and install the outlet in relative proximity to the location of the plumbing equipment.

Main disadvantages
