Flush Up With Upflush

The upflush toilet is a great addition to any Toronto home. It is also more cost-effective compared to a standard toilet in terms of the amount of flushing water it uses. When the upflush toilet is flushed, the water level is pressurized so that it rises into the treatment tank. In the treatment tank, the grinder motor cuts the waste automatically so that it becomes macerated. The rotating blades grind the contents in 3–4 seconds. The finely ground waste is pumped into a standard pipe measuring 0.75 to 1 inch in diameter. After that, the tank empties so that the system can be reused.

The upflush toilet is designed to solve the problems of a standard toilet. The important feature of an upflush toilet is the macerator pump and small-diameter pipe. The powerful macerator contains a sharp blade that can effectively shred waste and toilet paper so that they become liquefied in the water. Once mixed with water, the slurry can easily be flushed into the upward pipe.

The quiet electric pump generates the pressure needed to move the slurry upward through the pipe. The narrow pipe, which measures ¾ inch in diameter, solves the structural problems found in most homes. The finely ground slurry is flushed upward through the pipe into the septic tank.

Advantages of the Upflush Toilet

Upflush toilets offer many benefits. With an upflush toilet, placement is not limited by the drainage system. For example, if you have a child with special needs, you can install the toilet beside the bed.

The macerating pump can be installed in areas such as your Toronto attic or basement. Furthermore, the unit is portable and can be moved to a different location. When you want to relocate the unit, you simply remove the four screws and move it to the desired spot.

With Toronto home remodels, there is often the problem of no drain line in the location where you want to install the toilet. The upflush toilet solves this problem by simplifying the toilet installation. The installation is less time-consuming because it does not require you to remove the floor tiles in the bathroom. Due to its versatility, the upflush toilet is also suitable for creating temporary toilets, especially for elderly or disabled people.

Conclusion

Upflush toilets cost more than a standard toilet upfront; however, they can be installed anywhere in your Toronto home for less overall. Compare this with a standard toilet installation, which can cost up to a few thousand dollars. If you have already installed the plumb lines, you may not need an upflush toilet. However, if the toilet is unplanned, the upflush design is the most economical option.

The power flush system has a higher cost than the standard system. Although power flush uses dual-flush toilets to help the toilet flush efficiently, the extra pressure is unnecessary. In addition, power flush systems cannot handle everything that the upflush system can.

When purchasing an upflush toilet, you can buy a unit specifically designed for your Toronto bathroom. This allows all the water fixtures in the bathroom to be plumbed through a single pipe. If you want to add a sink or shower to the room, this unit is the best option.

Consult with your Toronto plumber if you are considering an upflush toilet for your home.
