Toilet without cistern - types and features

Recently, the so-called toilets without cistern have become very popular. It should immediately make a reservation that in most cases they have a tank, but only it is hidden in the wall. Below we take a closer look at how the toilet works without a cistern, what types of plumbing and its features can be.

General information

Merits

The main advantage of toilet without a cistern is their attractiveness, since all its communications are hidden behind a wall. Therefore, they look unusual and modern, so that the bathroom takes a completely different look.

In addition, similar plumbing equipment has some other advantages:

• The design is shorter than the traditional toilet, thereby saving space in the bathroom.
• Excellent hygiene, as such a sanitary appliance is easier to clean.
• Due to the absence of the tank visually expands the room.
• Suspended structures allow you to wash the floor under the toilet.

It is thanks to all these points that products without a tank are widely used among home and apartment owners. And they are especially relevant in the conditions of Soviet apartments with small bathrooms.

disadvantages

As is usually the case, along with the advantages, the products in question have some disadvantages:

• The complexity of installation, especially for mounted toilet bowls, as they require the installation of a powerful installation.
• Higher price than traditional plumbing.
• The complexity of maintenance and repair, as in the case will have to damage the finish room.

In general, the shortcomings are not so serious as to abandon the idea of ​​using this plumbing.

Types of toilet without a cistern

To date, there are three types of toilet bowls that do not have cisterns:

Each type of the above plumbing has pros and cons. Therefore, before choosing a suitable option, you should familiarize yourself with them, which we will do below.

Console toilets

A feature of these devices is that they are attached to the wall and are not in contact with the floor. Their installation is the most difficult, as the installation involves the use of a metal structure that performs not only the supporting function, but also serves as a box for the cistern. Installation, as a rule, is made of square tubes or another high-strength metal profile.

I must say that many people doubt the reliability of this plumbing, as a result of which they prefer floor models. In fact, if the installation instructions for such a toilet bowl are followed, then it can withstand a weight of over 400 kg, respectively, can easily withstand the weight of a person.

As for the tank itself, it looks different from the usual ceramic devices and resembles a plastic canister. However, the principle of its operation is the same as that of traditional equipment. The only drive of the drain is realized with the help of levers.

It is better to entrust the installation of such a structure to specialists, the installation has a number of features.

Note! To connect the console and wall toilets, you must use a hard fan pipes.

Attachments

The outdoor toilet is attractive because it does not require the installation of a powerful installation, since the entire load of its weight and the weight of a person falls on the floor. Therefore, to hide the tank, you can make a false wall of plasterboard or even use a special cabinet for this purpose. In some cases, the container is simply embedded in the wall.

As a result, the installation of this sanitary equipment practically does not differ from the installation of a traditional toilet bowl and depends largely on the location of the sewer pipes. In fact, attachments are a compromise between traditional and console toilet bowls. Therefore, their installation can be done even with your own hands.

Tip! For greater economy of the room, you can install an angled side toilet.

Drukspuler drain system

This drain system deserves special attention, as it differs from all the above options. It is implemented using a cartridge, divided into two cameras. They are needed to create a pressure difference, due to which drainage is carried out.

In more detail the principle of operation of this device is described below:

• Inside the cartridge is a special membrane with a small hole, which is designed to gradually equalize the pressure in the chambers.
• When the pressure inside the compartments is stabilized, the spring is triggered, blocking the flow of water, and thereby provides water to the toilet.. Moreover, a strictly defined amount of water is always supplied, as a rule, no more and no less than 6 liters.

This device has two connection points:

• To the water supply;
• To the pipe through which water enters the toilet.

It should be noted that drukshpuler takes up much less space than a traditional tank. Moreover, it can be mounted both outside and in the wall. As in the case of a traditional cistern, the choice of design depends solely on its own preferences and the design features of the room.

Tip! Open drukshpuler will look great in the interior of the bathroom, decorated in modern styles, such as high-tech.

I must say that toilets without cistern have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Their positive qualities include the following points:

• There is no need to wait until the container is recruited, as the drain can be carried out continuously.
• Space saving.
• Drukshpyuler has an attractive and modern appearance.
• Provides water savings.
• There is no condensate, as is the case with the use of traditional tanks, which with constantly collected cold water are a source of condensate.

It should be noted that such devices also have disadvantages, and some of them are quite serious:

• In the event of a water shutoff, there is no reserve for draining, unlike traditional cisterns.
• For the normal operation of the system requires a certain pressure in the water supply system, which is not always able to provide domestic systems. This is especially true for apartments located on the upper floors of high-rise buildings.
• The system is more noisy, however, the noise occurs only during the flush.

For these reasons, toilets with a similar system in our country are not widespread.

Here, perhaps, all kinds of toilet bowls that are widespread today without a cistern.

Conclusion

Toilets with a missing cistern are an excellent solution in terms of design, as well as saving space in the bathroom. However, before making a choice in their favor, it is necessary to take into account some of their shortcomings, which are given above.
