When renovating or designing a bathroom, one of the most important decisions is choosing the type of toilet. Today, there are two main options: toilets with a built-in tank and tankless toilets. Both offer different advantages that can influence your choice.
Toilets with Built-in Tank
Toilets with a tank store the water needed for each flush in a reservoir. There are three main variants:
- Toilets with visible tank (traditional):
The most common type. The tank is clearly visible behind the seat. This design has been the standard for decades due to its easy installation, simple maintenance, and lower cost. - Toilets with integrated (hidden) tank:
In these modern models, the tank is concealed inside the toilet structure, reducing visual bulk and creating a cleaner, more contemporary look. They still operate with a gravity flush system but offer a sleeker profile. - Toilets with concealed cistern (in-wall tank):
The tank exists but is hidden inside the wall, leaving only the toilet bowl visible.
What is a tankless toilet?
Tankless toilets do not use a water reservoir. Instead, they connect directly to the pressurized water supply.
Types of tankless systems:
- Direct flush system: water comes straight from the pipe through a pressure valve.
Main characteristics:
- More modern and minimalist design.
- Saves both visual and physical space in the bathroom.
Which should you choose?
Your decision depends on your priorities:
- If you value easy installation, simple maintenance, and a reliable system, a toilet with a tank is the safer choice.
- If you prefer a clean, modern look and more free space, a tankless toilet is an excellent option, especially for small or contemporary bathrooms.
