Toilets: An Introduction

Toilets are an integral part of every bathroom. Since the days of the out-house, toilets have become an indispensable part of human existence. Can you imagine sending your 2 year old who you are trying to potty-train out to the back to use an out-house? Probably not, but for thousands of years that is exactly what our ancestors had to do.  Thank goodness for advancements in technology. The toilet is a very simple device, it has a few major parts that make up the anatomy of a toilet. Toilets will be one topic that we discuss heavily in this blog so hold on to your hats(or should I say seats, pun intended). We will review every major toilet part and make sure that we cover these in great detail. For example, the flapper of a toilet is the part of the toilet that seals the water into the toilet tank, Without a properly functioning flapper you could quickly flood your bathroom as your toilet bowl would likely overflow pouring water all of your floor. Another key component is the float. This mechanism works to determine when water should flow into the toilet tank. If you float is defective your toilet could run constantly driving your water bill sky high. This is just an introduction but stay tuned as we  go into much more depth on toilets.
