When choosing a toilet, many prefer models equipped with anti-splash system. Before buying such plumbing, you need to figure out what it is and study the rating of the best manufacturers in order to purchase a truly high-quality and practical toilet bowl..
What it is?
The main feature of toilets with the anti-splash system is no splashes when draining. This is a very useful feature that makes the use of plumbing more practical..
“Anti-splash” means convenience and comfort for users. Such products began to be produced quite a long time ago, but they were not in great demand. The lack of popularity was due to poor performance. Modern models are constructed with better quality and using innovative technologies, therefore, the demand for them has become higher..
The design of such toilets provides for a ceramic bowl with a special protrusion. It prevents the scattering of water droplets at the time of draining, retains a persistent “aroma” from the sewer system.
The main disadvantage of such models is associated with high water consumption.. A certain amount of liquid accumulates in the area of the protrusion, because of this, limescale forms. You have to constantly deal with dirt and rusty stains. You can get rid of them with cleaning compounds that easily remove stubborn dirt..
“Anti-splash” functions properly only with a properly assembled drain structure. It slides forward or backward, so the hole must be narrow. In addition, there should be a minimum of water in the bowl, and flushing should be carried out over its entire surface. Dual flush porcelain products are increasingly popular.
The advantages of plumbing equipped with an anti-splash system include:
- almost complete absence of splashes, they are extinguished by the visor;
- suppression of unpleasant odors.
If not confused the need for frequent toilet maintenance, aimed at removing various formations and contaminants, such a model is definitely worth buying.
Principle of operation
Toilets with the anti-splash system have special drain design. They have it several times less compared to classic models. Its location is also specific – with an offset from the center. The drain can be displaced both forward and, conversely, to the back wall. The splash that appears during flushing is suppressed by the visor, it is also called the shelf.
The water cycle in anti-splash toilets is more uniform and “tied” to the drain. This is a key feature that contributes to the dramatic reduction in splashing. It is on this principle that toilets from this series function..
Some plumbing models with an anti-splash system are also equipped with microlift, similar to a regular door closer. The use of such a mechanism completely eliminates noise when lowering the lid and protects the ceramic parts of the toilet bowl from chips and other defects..
The design features of microlifts are such that all their elements are isolated from other plumbing parts.
Varieties
Toilet bowls equipped with the anti-splash function are usually classified into several types: by bowl design, flush system and other parameters.
By bowl design
Manufacturers produce toilets with visor, disc and funnel bowls.
The former almost 100% prevent splashes from entering the surrounding surfaces and plumbing users. But when such toilets are used by representatives of the stronger sex, splashes from urine end up on the walls and under the rim of the plumbing equipment. This area is not washed by water when draining, therefore it needs frequent washing, which is fraught with inconvenience.
Bowls poppet shape prevent splashing, but only if the toilet is equipped with a circular waste system.
Funnel bowls Is the best solution for toilets with an anti-splash option. They ensure an even distribution of water during flushing. Water is consumed more efficiently, plumbing after flushing shines with cleanliness, waste does not linger in the bowl.
Flush system

In toilets with double flush waste products go down the drain immediately. Such systems are as efficient as possible, but they use too much water..
