There's a heaviness in my stomach. Where to go to relieve myself, or – the toilets, as they are.
Modern toilet bowls differ primarily in their design, namely, how they have a tank, what they are made of, how they should be installed, what shape their outlet and bowl are.
Toilets with a high cast–iron tank and a pear on a chain can be said to have remained in the distant past, although they are still found in old houses of lonely old people. Luxury retro-style toilets are still being produced with the upper location of the drain barrel. Their tank is made of porcelain, and the pipe connecting it to the toilet is made of stainless steel.
Toilets with a compact or wall-mounted tank are now more common, and the first of them have become the leaders in sales.
Toilets with wall-mounted cisterns turned out to be too difficult to repair, and their service life made one wish for more. The pipe running from the toilet bowl to the cistern quickly corroded and began to leak.
Toilet bowls are made of porcelain, earthenware, and stainless steel. From a hygienic point of view, porcelain toilet bowls are better. It is very difficult to get them dirty, and if they do get dirty, then the porcelain is very easy to wash. Their price is quite affordable, so perhaps their only drawback is their fragility. Almost equally good in this regard are even cheaper earthenware toilets. Stainless steel toilets also have excellent hygienic properties, which are called "vandal-proof" due to their strength. If they are not enough to put in apartments, it is only because such toilets look too brutal, and their retail price in dollars ranges from seven hundred and above.
Toilets can be installed in different ways. If their bowl is sunk into the floor and has no seat, then in front of you is either the so–called "genoa" or a Turkish-type toilet. Such toilets can still be found in preserved communal apartments, but they are mainly used in public toilets.
A floor–mounted toilet is considered a classic. It is cheap, practical and easy to operate, and its repair is not particularly difficult. But aestheticians don't like the fact that the communications connection to it can only be open in a constructive way. Such people prefer to install suspended toilets, which have an eyeliner system and the drain tank itself mounted in the wall. This design really seems to expand the toilet visually, but it is very long and difficult to install them, to repair the drain tank it is necessary to violate the integrity of the wall, and their price is even higher than that of stainless steel toilets. The so-called side toilets have the same disadvantages, which have the same hidden communications and a drain tank, but are not suspended from the wall, but are mounted in the floor.
Toilet bowl outlets can be vertical, oblique, or straight in shape. The vertical one was preserved only in houses of "Stalinist" architecture, and even then, if the sewer system and toilets there were not changed. With this design, a sewer pipe was located directly under the toilet bowl, which passed through the floor plate and connected to sewer risers under the ceilings of the apartments below. Direct discharge is provided by toilets designed to connect hidden sewage systems to them. Toilets with an oblique outlet are being mass-produced.
