The installation of smart toilets is; Three parts product, seven parts installation; Details determine the user experience and lifespan. The following are the key details that must be noted and sorted out in stages:
1、 Before installation: Preparation and adaptation checks (to avoid“ Unable to install; ）
Accurately measure pit distance and match model;
Measure the horizontal distance from the center of the sewage outlet to the wall with a tape measure (allowable); 2cm error), common pit spacing is 305mm or 400mm, purchasing the wrong model cannot be installed, and the cost of return and exchange is high.
If tiling is applied to the wall, it is necessary to measure the surface of the tiles; If tiling is not done, measure to the base of the tile to avoid errors.
Check the water and electricity conditions;
Power supply: Reserve a dedicated 10A socket (30-40cm from the ground), and do not share the circuit with other high-power appliances (such as water heaters and washing machines), otherwise it is prone to tripping; The socket should be equipped with a waterproof cover to avoid short circuits caused by dampness in the bathroom.
Inlet: Confirm that the cold water pipe interface is G1/2 inches. If the water pipe in the old community is thin, it needs to be replaced with a G1/2 inch joint in advance to avoid water leakage.
Demolition of old toilets and floor cleaning;
When dismantling the old toilet, first close the angle valve, unscrew the drain nut, use a wrench to loosen the base bolt, gently lift the old toilet, clean the remaining glass glue and cement, ensure that the ground is flat and free of protrusions, and avoid unstable installation of the new toilet.
If there is a slope on the ground, it needs to be leveled with cement mortar to ensure that the bottom of the toilet is tightly attached to the ground and prevent water leakage.
2、 Installation in progress: Core steps and detail control (avoid“ Leakage and malfunction; ）
Base sealing: eliminate the hidden danger of water leakage;
Apply waterproof silicone evenly (with a thickness of about 3mm) on the contact surface between the sewage outlet and the toilet seat, then place the toilet and gently press to ensure that the seat is completely flush with the ground without any gaps.
When tightening the drain nut, use a wrench to apply moderate force (to avoid ceramic cracking caused by over tightening), and then apply a circle of silicone to prevent loosening and water leakage after long-term use.
Water inlet connection: leak proof and anti blocking;
Use the brand's original water inlet hose (or 304 stainless steel hose), connect the angle valve and toilet water inlet, tighten with a wrench, and then gently pull the hose by hand to confirm that there is no looseness.
If the water outlet of the angle valve is not smooth, it needs to be replaced with a full copper angle valve to avoid insufficient water pressure causing weak flushing.
Circuit connection: Safety first;
Connect the power cord by a professional electrician, confirm that the socket is well grounded, and avoid the risk of leakage; If using an intelligent toilet controller, it is necessary to connect the power supply according to the instructions to avoid reversing and burning the circuit board.
After installation, use a multimeter to check the socket voltage (should be 220V± 10%) to ensure stable power supply.
Nozzle and seat ring debugging;
After installing the nozzle, manually test the self-cleaning function (press the self-cleaning button, the nozzle should pop up and spray water for cleaning), and confirm that there is no water leakage and the spray direction is normal.
Debug the cleaning mode, adjust the water temperature (recommended around 40 ℃) and water pressure (moderate to avoid excessive stimulation), and confirm that the nozzle movement trajectory is in line with the body without deviation.
3、 After installation: commissioning and acceptance (avoid“ Not working well; ）
Basic functional testing;
Test automatic flip/flush: Stand or wave (according to the sensing method of the model), confirm that the flip and flush are sensitive and there is no delay; When manually flushing, observe the flushing force to ensure that there is no residue left after flushing once.
Test seat heating: After turning on the function, wait for 10-15 minutes and touch the seat with your hand to confirm that the temperature is uniform and there is no local supercooling/overheating.
Test drying function: After washing, turn on drying and wait for 5-10 minutes to confirm that the seat ring is dry and free of moisture.
Waterproof and stability inspection;
Stick waterproof test strips on the bottom and base joint of the toilet, run and flush for 10 minutes. If the test strips turn red, it indicates water leakage and requires reapplication of silicone or tightening of nuts.
Press the top of the toilet with your hand to confirm that there is no shaking or abnormal noise. If it is unstable, a rubber gasket should be placed between the base and the ground to enhance stability.
Brand after-sales registration;
After installation is completed, keep the contact information of the installer, register the product serial number, confirm the after-sales warranty policy (such as the warranty period of core components and the scope of free services), and avoid difficulties in subsequent troubleshooting and rights protection.
4、 Special scenario: adaptation plan for high-rise buildings and old residential areas
Insufficient water pressure: Install a booster pump;
If the flushing is weak, a front booster pump can be installed (it is recommended to choose a silent version with a noise level of 40 decibels) between the angle valve and the toilet inlet to increase the water pressure to above 0.15 MPa and ensure strong flushing.
Some brands (such as Hengjie and Jiumu) support it; Built in booster pump; The model can be directly selected upon purchase without the need for additional installation.
No power supply: use battery or external power supply;
If there is no reserved socket in the bathroom, you can choose a battery powered smart toilet (with a battery life of about 3-6 months and regular battery replacement), or extend the power cord to the living room socket (pay attention to circuit safety and avoid overload).
Partial models support; USB powered” Can be connected to a power bank or portable power bank for emergency use.
