Cersanit toilets: characteristics and types, selection and installation

A toilet is an item that is usually purchased deliberately and for a long time. Adding to this the rather complicated installation and the high cost of the structure, it becomes clear why it is so important to take a purchase decision seriously. The modern plumbing market offers a wide selection of manufacturers, one of which is the Polish company Cersanit.

Cersanit toilets began to appear on the market at the end of the 90s of the last century. Manufacturer, which is Polish company, engaged in the manufacture of not only sanitary ware, but also components, ceramic tiles and bathroom furniture. Under one brand heading such brands as Mito, Opoczno, Mei, Meissen Keramik. The company has several factories, including one in Syzran, so most of all products come from Ukraine and Russia. Components, by the way, are much more often produced in Turkey and Vietnam. The sale of Polish products in our country is carried out through cooperation with numerous distributors.

Cersanit's popularity is further enhanced by the fact that the company provides meaningful customer support... For example, even before the direct purchase, a special program allows you to create a design project and evaluate how this or that model will look in the interior.

The Polish brand has all the necessary certificates, including compliance with the environmental standard. The cost of Cersanit toilets starts at approximately 9 thousand rubles (2019), which is considered a budget proposal. The price increase is due to the use of design concepts, resizing, material changes and some technical solutions - for example, an anti-splash system or a lid closer.

One of the most popular models in Russia is Hit, by the example of which it is possible to consider the general characteristics of the Cersanit toilets. The model is budgetary and costs about 3,000 rubles in stores in the country (2019).

The design of the structure can be called minimalistic. Hit is made of white sanitary ware. When purchasing a toilet, the customer also receives a cistern and a seat with a lid with a microlift system, which is responsible for quiet and accurate lifting and lowering of the lid.

Cersanit Hit is a floor-standing construction equipped with a cistern. The drain itself is oblique, and the water is supplied from below, which allows the toilet to be used quietly. There is also a system that prevents the appearance of splashes. The tank volume is 6 liters. A single drain is a disadvantage of this model, since each time the tank is completely emptied, and the water consumption is excessive. The oval bowl of the sanitary device has no shelf. The system works without leaks, but the drain button is prone to sticking.

Cersanit toilets offer many benefits. They have an affordable price, but they perform all the necessary functions, having been successfully operated for many years. The design of Polish sanitary ware is quite versatile, but stylish, which allows it to be used in almost any interior. A rugged device is often equipped with additional features that the company uses all innovative technologies to implement. The products have all the necessary quality certificates, including environmental ones.

Additionally, it is covered with a protective film against the growth of bacteria and dirt retention. Cersanit toilets fit even in small bathrooms, and their use remains comfortable despite the size of the interior.

If we talk about product shortcomings, then most users note its not so satisfactory reliability - after all, individual parts of the structure often fail. A relative disadvantage is the compactness of some models that are not suitable for large men. There may be some problems with the installation of plumbing, which, however, can be avoided if you entrust the task to a specialist.

Many comments found on the Internet indicate that the current tank and other problems are the result of an incorrect connection. A clear disadvantage of Cersanit toilets is the poor quality of the installation details required for installing and connecting plumbing to the sewerage system. They come complete with a toilet, but if possible, it is better to use other brand products.

All toilets manufactured by Cersanit can be divided into several subtypes. On the official website of the company in Russia there are 2 main models: compact and suspended, moreover, there are almost 2 times more varieties of the first than the second. By the way, we are talking about the site, and in offline stores it will be possible to find even more. By the way, toilet seats, bidets and urinals are sold in the same category.

The seats are usually included, although there are exceptions. Toilets with a cistern also differ in the volume of the tank, which is 3, 5 or 6 liters. Floor-standing toilets can also be equipped with a microlift, however, as well as hanging ones. Since all toilets are divided into compact and wall-mounted, it makes sense to clarify their main characteristics.

Compact models represent a single structure that combines the toilet itself with the cistern. Plumbing is easy to install, is inexpensive and serves the owner for a long time. On suspended models, the water tank is mounted separately. It can be built into a wall or plasterboard structure, fixed on a special frame or blocks. All pipes, both inlet and outlet, are hidden in a similar way.

The wall-hung toilet bowl is also wall-mounted. This design looks more attractive, in addition, there is free space at the bottom, which visually makes space easier and simplifies the cleaning process. It is in such a bathroom that it is much easier to make heated floors.

Compact toilets from the Trento collection have quite classic design and low price. When purchasing sanitary ware, the set also includes a seat with a microlift system, made of duroplast. Thanks to the high-quality porcelain from which the toilet bowl is made, and the excellent white enamel, the plumbing can withstand many years of service without any problems.

To find the right toilet from Cersanit, there are several important criteria to consider. Plumbing can be made of either porcelain or sanitary ware. Porcelain costs more, but it also breaks down more slowly, since the speed of erasing the enamel is not so high. Sanitary ware will cost less and will be much easier to find in stores. By the type of installation, structures are divided into suspended and floor ones. Suspended structures are more difficult to install, moreover, the surface must withstand a weight of up to 300 kilograms. However, the aesthetic appearance and the savings in square meters usually justify these difficulties.

By the type of release, toilet bowls are usually divided into horizontal and vertical. The former are more recommended for city apartments, and the latter for private houses. Bottom water inlet makes less noise and hides unsightly hose. However, lateral fluid supply to the reservoir is more common and cost effective. Cersanit has both types of models.

The type of flush is a very important factor as it determines the further ease of use of the bathroom. Buyers usually choose between cascading and circular. In the first case, water immediately pours into the drain hole, little irrigation of the toilet bowl surface. The circular flush functions to flush the entire bowl by circulating water through the inner trough. Cersanit covers are usually supplied with the toilet itself.

They can be made either from polypropylene or from duraplast, ideally repeating the shape of the bowl. Duraplastic models are more expensive, but also more reliable. In addition, some of them are equipped with a mechanism that allows you to remove or install the cover with a single button.

Many plumbers believe that in the store, preference should be given to those toilets that have a steep back wall and a front wall with a steep descent. In addition, the opening at the back of the tank is also important. The main qualities are considered to be the comfort and durability of plumbing, and not at all its price, so it is not at all necessary to give preference to only the most expensive models.

Floor standing models are the easiest to install. As a rule, simply by following the attached instructions, you can carry out the installation yourself without the involvement of specialists. Suspended models must be purchased complete with an installation system suitable for a particular toilet. Installation of such plumbing is difficult, and therefore it is much wiser to turn to professionals.

Floor-standing toilets are the most common in the post-Soviet space. A special leg is installed on the floor, on the top of which the seat is mounted, and behind its back there is a drain tank, where water for draining is collected.

Wall-mounted toilets are fixed to the wall. To fix such a structure, you first need to mount a metal frame, and place a drain tank inside it, like other parts that should not be visible. The finished frame is closed with ordinary drywall.

If, after installing the toilet, it turns out that water is extremely slowly poured into the tank, then the reason is most likely in the damaged fittings. In this case, a mandatory replacement of the part will be required, which should be done immediately, taking advantage of the warranty. If possible, then It is better to entrust the installation of any structure to a specialist, since the slightest malfunction can lead to a leak.

In general, reviews of Cersanit toilets are positive, not only from buyers, but also from plumbers. Nevertheless, among the old-timers there is such a point of view that earlier, as long as all products were produced within the borders of Poland, their quality was higher. Representatives of the company, however, answer that even in the case of foreign production, it is carried out using original equipment and under the supervision of Polish specialists. Experts recommend that you carefully inspect the plumbing when buying, since a marriage is likely, for example, a small crack, simply smeared with enamel. Probable problems appear regardless of the model and cost of the toilet.

In most cases, problems arise with the fittings located inside the tank, the usual lid during installation, or the seat lid during operation. Judging by the reviews, problems arise even after many years, and after a few weeks. There are several main disadvantages of Cersanit toilets. Firstly, the volume of the tank is not always comparable to the dimensions of the structure itself. The pressure may be weak, and therefore you will have to flush the water several times to achieve cleanliness.

Secondly, the drain button is very sensitive. It will sink if you press it too sharply, all the way, or, conversely, too weakly and slowly. As a result, after the water is drained, the flow of liquid will not stop, and it will continue to leak in a thin stream. Finally, the used gaskets that prevent water from leaking from the tank are not as reliable and quickly fail. Considering that it is not so easy to buy spare parts from the manufacturer, this problem can sometimes be critical.

Some negative reviews contain information that The economical water drain offered by Cersanit is in fact not so economical, and water is wasted in large quantities... On the plus side, buyers often mention stylish product designs that match any interior, regardless of model. Toilets are easy to maintain, quiet and of satisfactory quality.

If we talk about a specific model, for example, Cersanit Hit, then the reviews about it are mostly positive. A significant design advantage is the presence of two or three drainage modes, which make it possible to save the fluid used. It is easy to install such plumbing fixtures, and if a compact model is chosen, then the installation process can be carried out independently.
