Squatless toilet and its features

Currently, there is a huge selection of designs and designs of toilet bowls, so it would seem almost impossible to surprise the consumer with something. However, quite recently European manufacturers of sanitary ware presented innovative toilet bowls made using Rimless technology, which means “without a rim”. Below we look at what it is and get acquainted with the features of this plumbing.

General information

First of all, it should be said that the design of rimless toilet bowls is not fundamentally different from the traditional ones. Their main difference is not so much in appearance as in the design, which is devoid of the rim at the toilet bowl, from which traditional models have water.

At first glance it may seem that this difference is immaterial. However, in reality, this solution excludes hard-to-reach places that are very difficult to keep clean. Thus, the toilet without the rim is more environmentally friendly.

Features of the rimless toilet

What gives the absence of a rim

The first step is to figure out whether the absence of a rim in the toilet is important for users. As is known, in standard sanitary devices the bezel is made in the form of a ring having a U-shaped cross-section. This site is the most problematic in terms of hygiene and cleanliness.

In addition to the fact that dirt is constantly accumulating there and the pathogenic bacteria are beginning to develop, it is very difficult to clean this area. As a result, non-aesthetic drips appear over time on the inner surface of the bowl.

Of course, plumbing manufacturers have learned to deal with this problem to some extent by glazing a hard-to-reach place with antibacterial and dirt-repellent coatings.

However, it is impossible to fully eliminate the disadvantage of this design, since the protective coating deteriorates over time, which is due to a number of the following reasons:

• Inside the rim constantly flow of water.
• The surface is cleaned with a toilet brush, as well as the chemical effect of cleaning agents using abrasive powders and aggressive substances.

As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the cleanliness of the toilet bowl during operation, which entails even greater damage to the surface. Of course, you can clean the bowl with sparing agents, but in this case it is difficult to achieve the necessary hygiene.

With the advent of plumbing Rimless, this problem is completely solved. Therefore, we can say with confidence that toilets without a rim are currently the most promising.

Note! Rimless toilets exist both floor and wall-mounted, which allows you to choose the design to your taste.

Flushing device

After reviewing the features of the Rimless technology, a reasonable question arises: what about the drain system and how effective is it?

To answer it, consider how the flush works:

• Water is supplied under high pressure to a special device, which then evenly directs water flows over the entire surface of the bowl.
• Washing the walls, the water picks up the contents of the toilet and takes it to the sewer.

As a result, flushing is carried out efficiently, but at the same time water is not sprayed. In other words, the lack of a rim not only did not affect the flushing function, but also made it more perfect.

It should be noted that the internal surface of the considered toilet bowls is of two types:

Regardless of the type of construction, it is easy and convenient to wash the bowl, while draining is carried out efficiently and without splashing. Instructions for using the plum is not different from traditional models.

The advantages of rimless toilets

Among the advantages of a rimless design are the following points:

• Hygiene - in such cups there are no dirty streaks, besides, pathogenic microbes do not develop in hard-to-reach places.
• Longer service life, as to ensure the purity of the design does not require frequent treatment with cleaning agents.
• Modern flushing system saves water. If standard compacts consume 4-6 liters of fluid per flush, then the products in question are 2-4 liters.
• Aesthetics - visually, these toilets look more attractive and modern.
• The price is slightly different from conventional models..
• Efficiency - for the maintenance of the toilet requires a much smaller amount of cleaning and disinfecting agents, the cost of which is quite high.

Tip! If you install a children's rim on the toilet of the type in question, you can ensure your child a comfortable trip to the toilet, and at the same time not worry about his health due to the hygiene of sanitary ware.

Here, perhaps, are all the main features of modern sanitary devices without a rim. Given all the above information, we can say that the choice of a rimless toilet is fully justified.

Conclusion

The Rimless technology allowed to solve a serious problem of the hygiene of toilet bowls, on which the manufacturers of sanitary ware worked for many years. In addition, these sanitary appliances have become even more visually attractive. Therefore, we can assume that soon they will supplant the usual for us designs.
