Cersanit toilets: characteristics and types, selection and installation

A toilet bowl is an item that it is customary to acquire deliberately and for a long time. Adding to this a rather complicated installation and high construction cost, it becomes clear why it is so important to take a serious decision on a purchase. The modern market of sanitary ware offers an extensive selection of manufacturers, one of which is the Polish company Cersanit.

Cersanit toilets began to appear on the market in the late 90s of the last century. The manufacturer that is Polish company, engaged in the manufacture of not only plumbing, but also accessories, ceramic tiles and furniture for bathrooms. Under one brand heading, brands such as Mito, Opoczno, Mei, Meissen Keramik. The company has several factories, including in Syzran, so most of the 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.

The popularity of Cersanit is reinforced by the fact that the company provides significant customer support. For example, even before the immediate purchase, a special program allows you to create a design project and evaluate how a particular 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 from approximately 9 thousand rubles (2019), which is considered a budget proposal. The price increase is due to the use of design concepts, resizing, changing the material and some technical solutions - for example, anti-splash system or lid closers.

One of the most popular models in Russia is Hit, for example, which can be considered as a whole characteristic of the toilet Cersanit. The model is budgetary and costs about 3,000 rubles in the country's stores (2019).

Design design can be called minimalistic. Hit is made of white sanitary ware. By purchasing a toilet, the buyer also receives a cistern and seat with a lid that has a "micro-lift" system, which is responsible for quietly and accurately raising and lowering the lid.

Cersanit Hit is a floor design equipped with a drain tank. The drain itself is oblique, and water is supplied from below, which allows you to use the toilet silently. There is also a system that prevents the appearance of splashes. The volume of the tank is 6 liters. A single drain is a drawback of this model, since each time the tank is completely empty, and the water flow is excessive. The oval bowl of the plumbing device is deprived of a shelf. The system works without leaks, but the drain button is prone to sticking.

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

Thanks to the proven ceramic firing technology, the toilets always have a uniformly painted surface. Additionally, it is covered with a protective film against the growth of bacteria and dirt retention. Cersanit toilets are even placed in small bathrooms, and their use remains convenient, despite the area of ​​the interior.

If we talk about the shortcomings of the product, then most users note its not so satisfactory reliability - nevertheless, individual parts of the structure quite 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 execution of the task to a specialist.

Many comments found on the Internet suggest that the current tank and other problems are the result of an incorrect connection. The obvious disadvantage of Cersanit toilets is not the very good quality of the installation parts needed to install and connect plumbing to the sewer. They come complete with a toilet, but if possible, it is better to use products of a different brand.

All toilets manufactured by Cersanit can be divided into several subspecies. 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. This, incidentally, is about the site, and in offline stores you can find even more. By the way, toilet seats, bidets and urinals are sold in the same category. On the same site you can rim and rimless toilets. Plumbing, which goes on sale without a rim, is considered as convenient and practical as possible.

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

Compact models are a single design that combines the toilet itself with the tank. Plumbing is easy to install, inexpensive, and serves the owner for quite some time. For outboard models, the water drain tank is mounted separately. It can be built into the wall or drywall construction, fixed on a special frame or blocks. Similarly, all pipes are hidden - both inlet and outlet.

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

Trento compact toilets have pretty classic design and low price. When buying plumbing, the kit also includes a seat with a micro-lift system made of duroplast. Thanks to high-quality porcelain, from which the toilet bowl is made, and excellent white enamel, plumbing is able to withstand numerous years of service without problems.

It is necessary to supplement that The style of the collection allows you to organically combine it with any other elements of the Cersanit brand. On the official website you can purchase a model Just 031whose weight is 26.9 kilograms and a height of 79.5 centimeters. The construction made of porcelain is a rim. The kit also comes with a seat. The color of such a toilet is pure white.

One cannot but mention Cersanit Monolith - a very high-quality model with a simple and discreet design. Among the advantages of the model there is a quiet drain, good material and compactness of the model.

Customers appreciate the products of the Arteco collection, for example, Arteco 031. High-quality sanitary ware, painted in a snow-white shade, can be offered in two main formats: a suspended and compact toilet. The main advantages of the models is a modern design and, in most cases, the presence of technology that saves the amount of water consumed. In addition, the ceramic surface itself is cleaned during use. For such structures, you can choose seats made of different materials and having different shapes.

For connoisseurs of elegant designs, a collection is perfect. Delphicombining classic design and modern technology. The toilets mounted on the wall are combined with a seat made of a special antibacterial material and having the function of elevator raising and lowering.

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

According to the type of release, the toilet bowls are divided into horizontal and vertical. The former are more recommended for urban apartments, and the latter for private homes. The lower water inlet makes less noise and allows you to hide an unsightly hose. However, lateral fluid inlet to the reservoir is more common and low cost. 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 a cascade and a circular device. In the first case, water immediately pours into the drain hole, a little irrigated surface of the toilet bowl. The circular flush functions to clean the entire bowl by circulating water through the inner groove. Cersanit covers are usually supplied complete with the toilet itself.

They can be made either of polypropylene or of dyuroplast, perfectly repeating the shape of the bowl. Dyuraplast models have greater value, but also reliability. In addition, some of them are equipped with a mechanism that allows using one button to remove or install the cover.

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

Floor models are the easiest to install. As a rule, simply 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 complicated, and therefore it is much more reasonable to turn to professionals.

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

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

If after installing the toilet it turns out that the 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, and this should be dealt with immediately, using the guarantee. If possible, then installation of any design is best left to a specialist, since the slightest malfunction can lead to leakage.

In general, reviews about Cersanit toilet bowls are positive, not only from customers, but also from plumbers. Nevertheless, there is such a point of view among old-timers that before, while all the products were produced within the borders of Poland, their quality was higher. Representatives of the company, however, respond that even in the case of overseas production, it is carried out on original equipment and under the supervision of Polish specialists. Experts recommend carefully inspecting the plumbing when buying, since it is likely that a marriage will occur, for example, a small crack, simply covered with enamel. Probable problems appear regardless of the model and cost of the toilet.

In most cases, problems arise with fittings located inside the tank, a conventional cover during installation or a cover-seat during operation. Judging by the reviews, problems arise 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 with the dimensions of the structure itself. The pressure may turn out to be weak, and therefore it is necessary to wash off the water several times in order to achieve purity.

Secondly, the drain button has great sensitivity. It will sink if you press it too sharply, all the way, or, conversely, too weakly and slowly. As a result, after the descent of water, 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 out of the tank are not so reliable and quickly fail. Given 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 Cersanit’s economical discharge of water is in fact not so economical, and water is wasted in large quantities. If we talk about the pros, then buyers often mention a stylish product design, suitable for any interior, regardless of model. The toilets are easy to care for, they are noisy and have quite satisfactory quality.

If we talk about a specific model, for example, Cersanit Hit, then the reviews about it are mostly positive. A significant advantage of the design is the presence of two or three drain modes, which make it possible to save the liquid used. Installing such plumbing is simple, and if a compact model is selected, then the installation process will be able to be carried out independently.
