Everything You Need to Know About Choosing the Right Toilet

As cells move through the intestines, waste and water are parted — and have you ever had a taste of your own waste? It might seem like a minor choice, but can make a huge difference to your day-to-day in countless ways. At ARROW, we've developed a simple guide to assist you in choosing the best toilet for your home. Let's learn more about Toilets and make a choice.


Types of Toilets

So as you begin shopping for a new toilet, you may notice its many types available. There are different types, each with its own functionality. Here are several common toilet types you may encounter:


Gravity flush: This is the standard type of toilet that most people recognize. It relies on gravity to push waste down the drain. This is a classic and effective commonly type used in most households.


Pressure-assisted flush: This is a bit of a different type of toilet; it uses air pressure to push waste from the bowl. It can evacuate waste better than a gravity flush toilet. If you have a large household, this is a good kind for you.


Dual-flush: This is a toilet where you get to choose the amount of flush. You can choose how much of the water you want to use depending on how much waste there is. This saves water and keeps your water bill low.


One-piece vs. Two-piece: This is in reference to the construction of the toilet. One-piece toilets are more expensive, but don't have seams to trap dirt, so they are simpler to clean. Two-piece toilets are cheaper, but a bit less simple to clean because there's a seam where the tank meets the bowl. Knowing the differences can lead you to choose the right one.


Things to Consider Before You Buy

Before you pick a toilet, take the following key considerations into account to assist you in choosing the right toilet for your home:


Size: You have to measure your bathroom first to see if the toilet you want will fit within the bathroom area you have. A too big toilet will not be comfortable, and trying to force it into a small lavatory will not be very pleasant.


Bowl Shape: Toilets come in either elongated or round shape. Elongated bowls are possibly more comfortable for adults as they provide more space. But bathrooms that are small usually prefer using round bowls instead, which occupy less space.


Water Use: Regulations mandate new toilets to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. But there are toilets that use less water than that. Choosing a low-water option can save you money on your water bill in the long run, nice for your wallet.


Budget | Toilet prices can vary greatly, but they can cost anywhere from less than $100 to several thousand dollars. You need to set your budget before beginning to shop. Other ways to get started Consider how much you can spend.


Tips for Picking the Right Toilet

Now that you know what to look for when you're shopping for a toilet, it's time to go shopping. Here are a few shopping tips for selecting the proper toilets and urinals for your home:


Check your facts: Read reviews and compare before you spend. Having this knowledge will enable you to be able to get the best within toilet your budget as well as satisfies your needs. You can read opinions from other customers informing your decision.


Seek water-saving attributes: It is a good idea to find a toilet with low-flow or dual-flush, which saves water and money. This way, you will save the environment and some money.


And then there's height: Standard toilets are about 15 inches tall; "comfort-height" toilets are approximately 17 inches tall. The taller units are much more comfortable for those who are tall and people with mobility issues, so everyone can use them easier.


Think about design: You would not renovate your bathroom and then select a toilet that won't fit in with the look and feel of the space. A great-looking toilet will enhance your bathroom design.
