Before you buy a toilet always need to know:

When we need to buy a toilet we get confused which one will be perfect for our toilet in respective of size, design, material, functionality and budget. So we recommend before you buy something always do homework and we are making the homework easy for you to keep you remind some important point:

Types of Toilet to choose:

You can find two types of a toilet in the market, one is one piece toilet and another one is a two-piece toilet. In one piece toilet, there are no joint or part so it comes in solid one piece but in a two-piece toilet, there are two parts, a tank and a bowl. So due to consider your bathroom size,

design and your preference you can choose one from them.

Colour and design:

It depends on individual choices which colour or design he/she choose. But keep in mind as we have to use the toilet on a daily basis so keep it simple and eye-soothing.

Comforts:

Whatever design you choose for your bathroom it will go to a vale if you wouldn’t choose the comfortable toilet. There are two types of a bowl in the market Elongated and Circular. Those who want more space and perfect height can go for Elongated but those who have less space in the Toilet can choose Circular one.

Single or Dual Flash?

In a modern-day there are two types of flash available.one is single flash which has one button and another is dual flash which has two buttons. Both of them use different amounts of water to flush. In Dual flash, one button is designed to flush liquid waste and another button is designed to flush solid waste. So it’s your choice which one you have to choose.

Perfect Height:

Height is an important parameter in terms of choosing a toilet. Because if you have back pain or other disabilities it can be worsened if you choose low height toilet. So to buy a toilet always choose the right height between 16 to 17 inches from the floor.

Who will install?

It’s a tricky question because it varies from person to person. But if you want perfection then we will recommend you to seek professional help.

Installation & Maintenance Guide:

What do we need for installation?

We need a few tools to install a new toilet and they are:

  • A Caulk Gun
  • A measurement Tape
  • A small level
  • A mini Channel locks
  • A sponge
  • A stainless steel no burst supply hose
  • Wax ring, Brass bulb,Shims
  • A four and one screwdriver

Step by step process:

Step-1: Check the water pressure. Take a water pressure gauge and screw it at the bottom of the water heater. Ideal water pressure should be 60-80 PSI.

Step-2: Turn off the water valve of your toilet line.If you had a previous toilet wipe out all the extra water and wax residue. Remove the old toilet.

Step-3: Replace the new T-bolts and wax ring with the old one. Measure the distance of the wall and brass bolt. If it’s the same on both sides then screw the brass bolt and place the waxed brass bolt firmly on the ground in the middle of the two screws. Put a small pressure with a rag or tissue. Measure the floor level with a leveller.

Step-4: Now place the new toilet above the hole and connect with the toilet supply hose. Turn on the water supply and check the tank is full or not.If full test it with pushing the flash button Once the bowl fills now it’s properly installed.

Step-5: Now take a water-based acrylic silicone caulk and squirt it out with a caulk gun around the whole entire base. Then take a sponge to push the silicone as tight as you can. When it’s dry it’s ready to use the toilet. Normally it takes 4 to 5 hours to dry the silicone.
