How to Choose the Ideal Toilet in 5 Easy Steps

Let us say a person lives to be 80 years old; how much time would that person spend on the toilet? 3 years, according to some statistics! The toilet is arguably the most important fixture in the bathroom, so of course one should choose the best one available. Choosing a toilet can be challenging, and requires quite some research. We can help you save some of that! Here are 5 simple steps to finding the ideal toilet.

5 Steps to Finding the Ideal Toilet

In order to find the ideal toilet for your bathroom, the toilet should meet these standards:

1. Suited to Your Style – First, the toilet should match the theme and design style of your bathroom. Many options are available on the market to choose from depending on the style of your bathroom – traditional, modern, or transitional. For instance, traditional bathrooms generally have two-piece toilets with classic features and seating, while modern and transitional bathrooms have new, stylish one-piece toilets.
2. Performs to the Highest Standards – While color and style are important, flushing performance is just as vital. Before searching the stores, do some research on the flushing performance across different manufacturers and models – compare flush ratings online! Maximum Performance (MaP) scores represent how much solid waste a toilet can remove in a single flush. A score of 1,000g – 600g is considered Great Flushing Performance, and a toilet with that score can remove up to 35 oz. of waste in a single flush.
3. Is Tall Enough to Provide Comfort – This may sound odd, but we recommend to always sit on a toilet in the store before purchasing. In addition to the toilet seat, height is an important factor for how comfortable a toilet is to sit on. Taller toilets are more comfortable for adults. The standard height of toilets is 15 inches in comparison to taller toilets that comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act and have higher bowl heights of 17 inches or 19 inches.
4. Has a Rough-in Appropriate For Your Bathroom – A rough-in is the distance from the wall behind the toilet to the center of the outlet pipe where the waste leaves the toilet. While toilets come in varying sizes, the most common distance is 12 inches. Choose the one that fits your bathroom space the best. For toilets with less or extra space, 10-inch and 14-inch rough-in toilets, respectively, are available.
5. Saves Water – When selecting a toilet, look for one that has a WaterSense label. WaterSense is a certification by the EPA for high-efficiency toilets that flush at a rate of 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF), saving 20% more water than the standard 1.6 GPF counterparts do. This leads to saving more money on water bills each month.
