首先要确认你挑选一个性能表现良好的马桶, 怎么找呢? 到网站cwwa.ca中的测试报告:流行马桶最佳表现测试报告的最后一页, 把你看中的的几个候选马桶作比较.
2. 节约用水
考虑一下带有双冲洗模式的马桶, 比如, 使用6升水的完全冲洗和3或4升水的快速冲洗两种模式.
3. 式样
马桶没有必要象贡品一样. 选择一件(整体)模式的(蓄水池和坐桶一体的),或者是两件(分体)模式的就可以.
4: 价格
市场上有适合于各种预算的马桶,大约从$100到$250的都可以找到, 价高未必意味着高质量, 所以要记住第一条的比较各个的性能评分.
5: 马桶的尺寸
它占地面积,
它的高度,是否适合你的厕所的高度, 比如厕所里面的搁物架.
它的外观尺寸, 量马桶整体的前后到墙的距离, 如果是两件的,要从最靠近墙的部分开始量.
记住, 独立的研究报告显示了基于各个马桶的质量的性能表现, 不是根据用水量或者具体位置的. 即便是没有水流, 6升水也可以足够冲刷废物干净.
Five Simple tips for choosing a high-performance, low-water-use toilet
1. Performance
Make sure you choose a toliet that performs well. How? Read the performance testing results for your prospective toilet on the last page of the Maximum Performance Testing of Popular Toilets publication available free at cwwa.ca.
2. Water savings
Consider a dual flush model, which uses six litres for every solid flush and only three or four litres for a liquid flush.
3. Style
There's no need to sacrifice style. Choose between one-pice models(where the tank and bowl are one piece) or two-piece models(where the tank and bowl are fitted together).
4. Price
Toilets are available to suir a wide range of budgets, with many models in the $100 to $250 range. Price may not dictate quality, so remember to compare performance ratings.
5. Toilet footprint, heigh and rough-in
THe toilet footprint is the floor space that the toilet pedestal takes up.
Consider the heigh of your new toilet and any restrictionas in your bathroom, such as countertops.
Choose a toilet that matches your existing rough-in by measuring the distance from the bolts on the base of the toilet to the wall behind the toilet. If there are two sets of bolts, measure from the ones closest to the wall.
Remember, independent research shows that performance dependes on the quality of the toilet, not on the amount of water used per flush or the location of the toilet. Even without other water flow (from showers and sinks), six-litre toilets still carry waste effectively.
