Fitment
The three main questions we get asked about our toilets are as follows:
1) Are these hard to fit what do we need to do?
2) Do they need a power supply and what are the legalities?
3) How do they flush, what pressure is needed?
We will address each of these on here for you now and then add a few others after.
1) No these are simply to fit, the are all very similar and require a power supply, a mains water inlet and a supplementary water inlet. The mains supply we will address in point 2, the mains water supply is always near the toilet so that`s simply the same as a normal toilet. The other water inlet just needs to be tapped off the mains, there is an inline filter which goes onto this as well to stop backwash and abide by regs.
2) Yes a UK plug is needed for the toilets to operate,
If there is just a toilet and/or washbasin in the bathroom then a normal UK socket can be installed legally to plug the toilet/seat into.
If there is a shower/bath within 3meters then one of the following will need to be done:
a) A plug socket inside a sealed cabinet.
b) A fused spur hidden inside the wall space.
c) The wire fed though to another room and connected to a socket in that room.
If there is a power cut a battery inside the toilet will ensure it continues to enable you to flush.
3) Our Smart Toilet's don`t have a traditional Cistern system, it uses the mains pressure to flush. Therefore it has to be strong enough.
Recommended is at least 0.7 bar of pressure.
But the best test is from the water inlet to the toilet. 5 litres is required in 15 seconds so see if you can achieve this.
A plumber can check this for you easily.
The more pressure the better the flush will be.
If your pressure is low or you want it improving you may require an accumulator and/or a water pump. Again any plumber can do this job, it`s very simple.
Finally - the image below shows you the Aroma toilet, there are several pipes at the back as you can see the left ones go go the aroma bottle, the right ones to the cleaning bottle.
