Currently, the German manufacturing company Grohe produces a variety of types of such sanitary ware. There are two varieties in the assortment.

• Outdoor. In this case, the structure is installed on the floor covering. Floor samples are considered the most common and versatile type of such plumbing. They can be installed even in small spaces. Installation of such a structure can even be done independently. But at the same time, floor-standing models with a cistern are more demanding to clean when compared to suspended samples.

• Suspended compact toilets take up minimal space in the bathroom, therefore, they are most often placed in bathrooms with a small area. Installation of such a structure is carried out on wall coverings using special metal fittings. An installation for such plumbing without a cistern is tightly fastened in several places using special fasteners and screws. A properly installed model will be able to withstand a weight of up to 400 kilograms. Suspended models, despite their small dimensions and hanging installation on the wall, are quite reliable and sturdy structures. They can easily carry 300-400 kilograms.

Oftentimes, toilets differ depending on the shape of the bowl.

• Funnel-shaped design. Such options are considered the most hygienic, since the funnels are located in the central part of the product, which ensures a quick and complete cleaning of the plumbing after use.
• Disc shape. In this case, the product looks like a flat platform for the accumulation of dirt. It is completely cleaned by the ingress of several separate water streams. Disc models are considered obsolete and the most unhygienic. But at the same time, they do not allow splashing water during operation.
• Visor type bowls... This form is considered the most common and versatile. This design has a small protrusion. It is designed to prevent surges. This ledge is made at a slight slope, which also allows you to quickly remove all waste from the surface of the bowl walls.

Today, the German manufacturer Grohe produces a wide variety of toilet models, which are presented as several separate collections

• Rapid SL. This series includes installation systems with toilets and with a special flush plate (three modes). The installation of such plumbing takes place on the wall covering using special fasteners that come in one set with the main structure. This collection includes suspended sanitary ware with a closed type of cistern. Such samples provide a high level of hygiene. Such a system has low sound characteristics, so it works almost silently.

• Solido. This installation and toilet system is made from high quality ceramics. It comes with a microlift seat. This model has two flush modes: start and stop or two-volume. The system is installed using two special bolts and additional fasteners. During manufacture, it is equipped with an additional anti-splash option.

It is produced together with a microlift. The models in this line are distinguished by a simple but elegant aesthetics. The traditional bezel at the top of the design is usually missing.

Before purchasing the right plumbing fixtures, there are a few things to consider.

• Be sure to consider the size of your bathroom.... If you have a small bathroom, then a compact hanging device will be the most profitable option.
• Consider the cleaning technology as well. Hanging models are easiest to clean as they do not have hard-to-reach places, unlike floor-standing appliances. All plumbing fixtures of this manufacturer can be cleaned with almost any chemical detergent.
• Be sure to consider the appearance of the structure. It should fit well with the overall design of your bathroom. Otherwise, plumbing can ruin the design, make it awkward.
• When choosing, look at the flush method with a button... It can be straightforward. In this case, the water flow can pass along one side of the inside of the bowl, but at the same time, a full flush does not occur. Often because of this, the procedure must be repeated. With a direct flush type, strong splashing will also occur, accompanied by a sharp noise, but at the same time samples with such a device will cost much less than others. Pivot toilets are another option. It implies several separate water streams at once, which wash the bowl at different angles, while the entire inner part of the sanitary bowl is completely washed.
• When choosing a toilet, you should also take into account the type of drainage into the sewer system. It can be horizontal, vertical, or oblique. The first option is the most widespread and universal today. In this case, the outlet is flush with the riser. The vertical drain to the sewer is at right angles to the floor. Oblique bending involves placing the toilet pipe at a slight angle.
• It is also important to consider the efficiency of the design. Some examples of toilets of this German brand are equipped with a forced flush stop system during manufacture. This option saves a lot of water.
• The warranty period for such plumbing is also worth considering.... On many devices, it can be up to 60 months.
