Protection From Overflow
There are times your toilet gets clogged and you may not realize until you flush. And when you do, water overflows from the bowl on to your bathroom floor causing a mess that you have to deal with.
These smart toilets, however, stop you from flushing if it gets clogged. This allows you to call for plumbers to fix the problem. It also keeps the water levels in the bowl low.
Saves Water And Electricity
These toilets sense how much water is needed for flushing. It then uses the correct amount to flush efficiently. It uses as little as 2litres for the small flushes. The normal toilets use 6litres for every flush. For all this to happen, electricity is involved.
The toilets need to be connected either to your house’s wiring system. If this is too expensive, you can decide to use batteries to power it. All you need is to change them regularly to increase functionality.
Button Controls
These toilets use button controls to raise and lower the lid. This is convenient especially in a bathroom used by a lot of people or even in your home. Opening and closing the lid using your hands can lead to serious transmission of diseases and infections.
Quick and Less Depressing Cleanup
Cleaning toilets can be very tough. Especially if you have those stubborn stains that never seem to come off. These toilets spray water on the walls of the bowl just before use. This prevents stickiness on the bowl. Some brands come with a ultra-violet light that turns on automatically after every flush. It kills bacteria that may have been left after flushing.
