Tankless Toilets
One piece tankless toilets (often referred
to as “hatbox” toilets) are becoming one
of the most popular “must haves” for luxury
bathrooms because of their sleek minimalist
design. These toilets rely on a powerful
pump to provide exceptional flushing performance.
There is no waiting for a toilet tank to
refill and no refill noise. These toilets
are much more expensive than ordinary models,
and so they are equipped with a variety of
convenient options. They are made by a number
of up scale plumbing manufacturers.
If you are thinking of buying
a tankless
toilet, consider the following:
- Seat options include those that automatically
quietly close the toilet seat after each
use. Toilet seats that provide a warm water,
bidet type washing are also available. These
use an instantaneous water heater to provide
endless warm water at both the front and
back areas of the seat. Automatic air driers
are part of the process.
- The pump in a tankless toilet uses electricity,
but a manual override can be
activated if
there is a power outage.
- Tankless toilets are currently only made
for a standard 12 inch rough in. They usually
do not require any special plumping or electricity
hook ups, as they use a standard 1/2 inch
water supply and a 120 volt AC GFCI outlet.
Tankless toilets are available in
a variety
of neutral shades, including
white, tan and
gray.
