[somany-ceramics]

Flush tanks are an essential component of any bathroom. Until not very long ago, there was not a lot of choice available when shopping for a flush. However, that is not the case anymore.

Just like other sanitaryware products, flushes too have evolved and now serve different purposes. Being aware of the different flushing systems and the one that will work best for you will help you make an informed decision and enhance your bathroom’s overall hygiene factor and reduce maintenance costs.

Types of flushing systems:

Standard Flush Tank: A standard flush tank is the most common type of flush system. A standard flush tank is characterized by a rectangular shape, 6 litres water capacity and a flush handle that automatically refills it.

Concealed Cistern: As the name suggests, a concealed flush tank is hidden behind the bathroom wall. This type of flush tank helps enhance the aesthetic appeal of a bathroom without occupying any space.

Flush Valve: A valve flushing system is most used in commercial public areas like malls and restaurants. A flush valve is easy to operate, uses less water and takes up less room than PVC and cistern flushes.

Flush Plates: Flush plates lay major emphasis on aesthetics. In a conventional WC cistern, flush plates are visible, but all other components are concealed. They complement the overall style and colour palette of your bathroom and have a sleeker appearance.

Factors to consider before choosing a flushing system:

Design: Design of the flush tank is one of the first and most considered factors for majority of the people. It is the design that affects the overall look and feel of a bathroom. There are numerous flush tanks available in the market that come in different shapes, sizes, and designs. However, when choosing a design of the flush tank, you should consider not only the aesthetic properties of the same but also how much space will it occupy in your bathroom.

Function: As mentioned above, there are several types of flushing systems with each one of them excelling in some function. Understanding your needs and getting a flush tank based on those needs will help you make a better choice.

Price: Last, but not the least considered factor when choosing a flush tank is the price. Prepare a budget before going out and buying a flush tank. Choose the tank that you feel offers the best quality in the given price range.
