COmo is washdown. FYI, a squatting pan comes with a S-Trap below of it, if u r going to convert from squat to a toilet bowl u will need to remove the S-Trap below ur squatting pan which some lousy plumbers are not aware of it.

This is the thing that u will need to remove.


A squatting pan does not have trap and they will need to add the thing above. A toilet W.C already comes with a trap. So, if u did not remove the existing 1, you will have two traps and it will b hard for the water to get flushed out.

Similarly, if u r getting a syphonic w.c, the discharge hole is smaller compared to a washdown w.c. As the hole is smaller, it is harder for water to flush out, therefore the water level will rise a little then only get flushed out. Your case, you have two traps, it is very hard to get flushed out, so the water will need to raise very high to create a higher pressure to push the water out.

Rule of thumb, buy from the experts ahhaha.

catpowder get the person who installed the w.c for u to hack n remove the trap. He should b responsible for it.

ofcoz, Johnson Suisse is a good brand, the flushing system is good. Worth paying a little bit more to get Johnson rather than buying the cheap china w.c. Used to sell a lot China w.c, a lot of problems, gave up and now concentrate to sell johnson suisse only.

Good job to ur contractor but he shouldnt make the mistake in the first place haha. Anyway, it is good that he took the responsibility and rectify it
