Both siphonic and washdown toilets are common types, but they use different mechanisms to flush waste:
Siphonic Toilets:
Flushing mechanism: Relies on a siphon action to create a powerful vacuum. When flushed, water rushes down the wider rim of the bowl, creating a suction effect that pulls waste through the narrower trapway.
Design: Often have a skirted design that conceals the trapway and a wider, shallower bowl with a larger waste hole.
Pros:
Generally quieter flush
Can handle larger waste loads due to powerful suction
May have a cleaner bowl appearance due to the water level
Cons:
Can use more water per flush
More complex design can be prone to clogs if not properly maintained
May require a more meticulous installation
Washdown Toilets:
Flushing mechanism: Uses a forceful jet of water to push waste down the S-shaped trapway.
Design: Typically have an exposed S-shaped trapway and a deeper bowl with a smaller waste hole.
Pros:
Generally use less water per flush
Simpler design is easier to install and maintain
Less prone to clogs
Cons:
Can be noisier than siphonic toilets
May leave some residue in the bowl due to lower water level
Splashing can sometimes occur
Choosing between a siphonic and washdown toilet depends on your priorities. Here's a quick guide:
For water conservation: Washdown
For quiet operation: Siphonic (if well-maintained)
For modern aesthetics: Siphonic (often have a sleeker design)
For clog-resistance: Washdown
