Many people will consider displacement and fuel consumption when buying a car. Low fuel consumption saves money and energy. In fact, toilets are consumables like cars.
According to the survey, the flush toilet is a big water user, accounting for more than 35% of the domestic water consumption, which actually causes a lot of waste.
So if you want to save water, water-saving toilets are indispensable, but with so many water-saving toilets on the market, do they really save water? How to choose a water-saving toilet?
Part1: You must know five common sense of water-saving toilets
There is no clear definition of ultra-water-saving toilets in national standards, and there is no strict international certification. Therefore, consumers should not believe the “super-water-saving” slogans printed by some businesses.
1. There is no international certification for super water-saving toilets
There is no clear definition of ultra-water-saving toilets in national standards, and there is no strict international certification. Therefore, consumers should not believe the “super-water-saving” slogans printed by some businesses.
2. Toilets with a water consumption of more than 6 liters have been banned
Since the country has banned the sale of toilets with a water consumption of more than 6 liters, 3-liter/6-liter toilets are now the main products of various businesses, and consumers should be aware of this when purchasing.
3. The water consumption of the small gear is not more than 4.2 liters is qualified
In the national standard, 3 liters is not a mandatory standard for water consumption of small gears. The standard stipulates that as long as the water consumption of small gears is not greater than 70% of that of high gears (6 liters is the standard for high gears, and small gears are not more than 4.2 liters), it is qualified.
4. Folk water-saving certification is not credible
The state does not have mandatory certification for water-saving toilet standards, so the current water-saving certification of most businesses is not from an official certification body and is not protected by law.
5. Water-saving bathrooms are not suitable for all families
Not all types of houses are suitable for installing water-saving toilets. For example, most old houses are not suitable for installing toilets with a 6-liter flush capacity.
Because there are many differences between old-fashioned houses and new-build houses in terms of plumbing design and materials, choosing a water-saving toilet is a waste.
