"Direct flush type" and "siphon type" are based on the flushing method. The straight flush toilet has simple flush path, short path and thick diameter, and directly uses the gravity of water to wash away the dirt and siphon. The type of pipe is relatively high and relatively slender (the smaller the pipe diameter, the more obvious the siphon effect, the greater the pumping force).

1, from the effect of flushing than:
The flush-type toilet: the pipeline is simple, the path is short, and the neck is thick. The gravitational acceleration of water makes it easy to rinse the sputum and it is not easy to cause clogging, but it is prone to odor.
Siphonic toilet: The neck of the tube is slender, and when the water is flushed, the water level is high, and the swag falls along with the water. Although it may cause clogging when the amount of water is insufficient, the water seal is high and it is not easy to deodorise.
2, from the flush noise ratio:
Straight flush toilets: The sound of flushing is loud, because the powerful energy of the water flow is used to wash out the splashes. Therefore, the sound of the water flowing on the pipe wall and the water on the tank is loud.
Siphon-type toilet: The sound of flushing is particularly small and everyone calls it a silent toilet. This is because a suction-type sewage disposal method is used, and the impact sound of the water flow is very small.
3, from the water-saving effect than:
Straight flush toilets: The gravity of the water is used to wash out the water, and the water is used less frequently each time.
Siphonic toilets: The design structure determines that it takes a little more water to stay in the backwater bay to isolate the odor, and the water consumption is relatively higher than straight flush.

When choosing a toilet, consider the following four points in addition to the flush method.
Appearance: The split toilet is generally small in size, suitable for small bathroom space; the Siamese toilet has smooth lines and novel design, and there are more styles to choose from, and the water trap at the bottom line of the toilet is closed. The toilet cleaning in the future provides convenience; in addition, it is very important to observe the height of the toilet tank. The water tank is high, the impact force is relatively large, and the flushing effect is relatively good.
Internal: In order to save costs, many toilet manufacturers have made efforts inside the toilet. There are no glazed surfaces in some of the return bends, while others use small elastic seals with poor sealing performance. Such a toilet is not only easy to foul, but also easy to leak water. Therefore, at the time of purchase, it is necessary to reach into the dirt in the toilet and touch it to see if it is smooth. Feel smooth is glazed, rough is not glazed. The gasket should be made of rubber or foamed plastic, with relatively large elasticity and good sealing performance.
Glazed: The toilet is a ceramic product. The quality of the glaze on the outside of the ceramic is very important. The glazed toilet bowl is smooth, meticulous and has no flaws. It can still be smooth after repeated washing. If the glaze quality is not good, it is easy to hang the dirt on the four walls.
Aftermarket: Sanitary ware sellers on the general market have relatively reliable and complete after-sales services. Buyers can enjoy free installation, 3 to 5 year warranty service. During this period, the manufacturer is responsible for free repairs and replacements. Even if the warranty period expires, the replacement will only be charged. Therefore, consumers should carefully implement the warranty and installation services at the time of purchase to avoid inconvenience and disputes in the future.
