The selection of modern toilet models is extensive and diverse. Foreign and domestic manufacturers produce products with a different arrangement of elements of this sanitary equipment and from different materials. Different may be the drain method, drain design, etc. But the drain mechanism for the toilet is an indispensable element, because its main function is the qualitative removal of everything that came into the bowl of this product.
The drain tank device is quite simple: a filling mechanism and a drain. In high-quality plumbing, failures rarely occur. But most often one of the elements of the tank for draining fails. If you have certain skills and tools, then you can try to fix them yourself, but you must first shut off the water and find a plumbing phone. Despite the apparent simplicity, self-repair of the toilet can bring surprises. The material from which the products so much needed in everyday life are made is quite fragile and heavy, and if handled ineptly, the lid of the drain tank can be easily broken, and it is not easy to find a replacement. Therefore, for any breakdown, it is better to contact specialists.
The toilet flush mechanism works according to a very simple principle. When exposed to the handle or the release lever, the siphon rises and opens access to water. Modern models of toilets for actuating the drain mechanism have a button. Drain siphons can have a different look, but the simplest of them is a rubber cylinder, which is commonly called a “pear”. It is with its help that the tightness of the overlap of the drain hole is achieved. Many foreign models have two buttons and a flush mechanism for the toilet can work in different modes: in one case, 6-8 liters of water are supplied, and in the other only 2 or 4 liters. In this case, saving water is obvious. However, the design of such a mechanism is much more complicated and more likely to fail. In addition, some modern manufacturers have found and successfully apply for a long time another way. It is much simpler and cheaper. A water supply mechanism is installed in the toilet flush tank, the volume of which depends on the duration of pressing the lever or button.
Due to a malfunction of the toilet drain mechanism, water can constantly leak out. Because of this, the bowl becomes red, and the water bill is unpleasantly surprising. It also happens that the flush generally stops working or the water flows practically without stopping. Very often, the cause of such malfunctions is very hard water with a high content of various impurities. To avoid such troubles, filters for water purification should be installed on cold water that enters the apartment. Thus, you protect other plumbing. Another cause of malfunctions can be poor-quality plastic, from which the flushing mechanism was made. Therefore, when choosing a toilet should pay close attention to this point, and even better if most of its elements will be made of metal. Aging and wear of gaskets and other similar elements can also cause the drain to malfunction. In this case, there is only one way out of the situation - buying a toilet model with the simplest design.
Before you go to the store to buy plumbing, it will not be out of place to consult with a good specialist in this field which drain mechanism for the toilet is better. There is no doubt that he will be able to tell a lot of interesting and useful. It is better to purchase this plumbing product in large specialized stores to avoid fakes. Although in them you can find models of well-known companies in which mechanisms for draining other manufacturers are installed.
