Hi all,

Thought of opening a thread about WC...

Has anyone used Johnson Suisse Como before? Price look really affordable...

main concerns are :-

1) is the flush powerful enough?
2) looking for one that has very little chance of getting stucked



Do share your toilet "bowls" and photos

Have used Johnson Suisse WC and find that their flush down function is not that strong. Usually you'll have to flush twice. This makes having a pump vital as you don't want to wait too long to flush again.

Premtex WC flush down function doesn't look that strong either but will have to actually try before I can give a more accurate feedback.

Try not to get the syphonic system as its usually not as good as flush down. And you literally don't want to see crap swirling around in the event of blockage.

Thanks...oh , I have never considered Symphonic...cos they are crap really.....Just need a great powerful flush like those good old days wc

are Orin wc ok?

or the cheap ones, Inno ok?

There are basically 2 types:

wash-down - water gush down from the cistern by gravity
- greater force but noisy
syphonic - wash drawn into wc by suction
- less force but quiet
Then, there is the push-button and the level handle. The former has more problems.

To save water, there is the dual-flush system where you have a choice between a full-flush and a half-flush to save water.

There are pros and cons, it's a matter of individual preference.

Syphonic usually use in place where noise level is concern. Like Hotel.

Dual flush system, my previous experience it get jam / faulty faster because more mechanism inside. Hope the newer and modern version solve the problem.

Don't get the China unknown brand. Do you know in China they don't throw toilet paper inside WC. And in Malaysian and many place usually throw toilet paper inside WC. This sometime cause the China made WC to overflow and clog.

sometimes you have no choice. i suggest you remove the current one and see what kind of measurement it is. Some are offset. Then you go shopping for the right one that will fit your existing lobang

BTW I like to tumpang ask this WC question - if I want to totally remove one (in a condo enviroment) is there a professional & safe way to seal off the pipe on the floor? I dont want any overflow later on to come back up once I cement and tiled it. Is there like a end cap that will fit the pipe?

Yea weikee..its disgusting..they throw toilet paper laced with "chocolate" into the waste paper basket next to them...

so imagine, when you using the toilet..u see the waste paper basket...with chocolate..yucks!


btw your Lago ok?

Ah, I don't know which one is which. I have 2 difference model of JS. One model 2 units on the first floor, another cheaper model on the ground floor.

The ground floor model, I got to press longer for longer flush. If just press one second, it will do small flush.

So far all JS running ok. I am not running public toilet so OK lah.

Some models have small cistern and are designed to save water, so the flush is not VERY POWERFUL. Unless u throw a lot tissue, it will need to flush 2 times to clear everything. Otherwise, one time is enough d.

If u wan powerful flush, i would recommend u to get Johnson Suisse Ancona or Como.

Como is powerful?

yea Zein ..if Como is good...i will likely get como...see u soon...my renov will be starting soon...almost finalising everything with contractors...

orin not so expensive nor cheap, good finishing compare to those no brand china made but don't buy the Syphonic one, wash down is good.

Orin is China made. Not sure about quality.

Imagine you have a wash-down w.c. and you go to the toilet to use it in the middle of the night while your partner is sleeping. The noise can be a bother.
For home use, you don't need the flush to be so powerful, unless your 'chocolate' is so sticky that it's difficult to wash off.

If "chocolate" sticky or big...use a pail of water...pour the water while flushing..sure boleh! unless..ur chocolate is Rock Solid
hahaha

My new house is installed with 3 units of JS Como. So far so good. No problem in flushing.
And it's good for small toilet due to it's size.

partner no wake up but the baby wake up...

Actually, there was only the wash-down system in the old days.
Then the syphonic system came in to the market due to demand for a quieter flushing system.

i jus came back from taiwan, lots of hotels using syphonic system.

my old man's house got 4 units of orin, the quality i can say above average, the flush mechanism still good after 5 years


between your room & toilet no door?? i use wash down w.c in my room but hardly hear any sound when my wify flush the toilet

Anyone used "Cotto" brand w.c.?

It is a Japanese-Thai company (related to the famous' Toto' brand) but made in Thailand.

The fittings are quite stylish.
