If the problem is too severe and needs replacement, here’s how you can choose the right toilet bowl:
• Type of toilet bowl – A one-piece model has a sleek appearance and consists of a toilet bowl and tank fused into a unit. A two-piece model consists of a separate tank and bowl and is widely used among Singaporeans as it is more economical.
• Type of operational style – Varying operation style such as gravity type flushing action, vacuum-assist flushing mechanism, or a pressure-assist toilet mechanism that can clear wastes with a pressured “push”.
• Toilet bowl design – Modern toilets are available with different configurations to match various needs. Choose from toilet bowls that are round-front, compact-elongated, or elongated. Check the location of the flush-handle, potentially positioned over the top lid or on the right/left side of the tank.
• Height of seat – Chair-height toilets have their seat about 48cm over the floor, while standard-height toilets have seats at 43cm in height and custom-height toilets have them at a height of 38cm to 71cm over the floor.
• Type of flushing system – Many types of flushing system such as gravity flush, pressure assisted flush, dual flush, double cyclone, and more.
Additionally, you could also look into toilet bowl brands such as Saniton, Baron, TOTO, Magnum, and Tiara.
