Definition of Rimless Toilets Suite
What exactly are rimless toilets? You can differentiate these from a more classic toilet by an absence of the brink in the toilet pan. So, it is difficult to distinguish a toilet with or without a rim when the lid is closed. The easiest way to identify them without breaking a sweat is by flushing.
When you initiate a flush on a traditional toilet suite (rimmed), a large amount of water and pressure are concentrated on the front and back edge. It does its job - but it can do better. Because the side of the toilet suite receives less water and pressure, the possibility of leaving stains and germs are likely.
With a rimless toilet suite, because the rim is removed, the toilet suite can distribute the water evenly when a flush is initiated. The water will flush all the waste away in a downward tornado motion. This will result in an improved flush.
Rimless toilets Pros and Cons
Pros:
We know toilet duty is a hassle. In the past, to clean a rimmed toilet, you needed to use mini brushes to access the area that is not visible under the toilet pan. If those areas are not cleaned properly and regularly, it is easy to stain and eventually turns into a breeding ground for germs and bacteria.
With rimless toilets, just a simple wipe with the right cleaning solution will do great - smart toilets, as the next step-up, take your hygiene to a more thorough level, with intuitive options like automatic flushing and bidet washing included. There are no hooks or special brushes that you need to clean. Besides that, the suite distribute the water evenly, so every time you flush, imagine it being precleaned.
It may be a surprise that it is more water-saving efficient when it comes to rimless toilets. Although the pressure and distribution of the water have improved, it conserves more water. This is because it is well designed to ensure every single drop of water counts when you initiate the flush.
Cons:
This only happens when it is not well designed. When the valve that is supposed to release the water is not well-positioned, you may experience a few spatter on the outer layer of the toilet suite itself or bathroom. This can be easily avoided by purchasing from well-reviewed products or brands and finding skilled plumbers to install.
Due to the popular demand and it is expected to stand the test of time, the cost is slightly higher than traditional toilet suits. However, rimless toilets are worth every cent of your investment.
