It comes in both round or elongated as well with the option of white or a color they call biscuit.

No more slamming the seat or lid down as this seat has been installed with the latest slow closing lid and seat hinge set-up. It comes with the 3-way connector for the water supply connection and 3-year warranty.


Best Bidet Seat For Under $500:

Bio Bidet Ultimate BB-600 Advanced Bidet Toilet Seat

Bio Bidet BB-600 is one of the best selling bidet seats selling on Amazon.com ain 2019 and because we consistently updating, it appears but the stats and customer reviews it’s going to also the best seat in 2020.

Heated seat, warm water cleanse and a nice warm air dryer to finish off the cleanse is just a few of the benefits this seat has to offer.

The heated seat is adjustable in between the preset temperatures and water temperature is all adjusted using the control panel situated on the right-hand side of the seat as if you are sitting down on it.

Also equipped with slow closing hinges allowing no slamming or accidental dropping of the lid or seat which can cause damage to the seat or your toilet bowl.


Runner Up: Toto C100 Washlet Bidet Toilet Seat

The Toto C100 is also another great seat in this price range bracket. In fact between the bb-600 and the c100 it’s pretty hard to separate them from each other as in with features of each other.

The main reason why I made it the runners up is Biobidet are made in the United States whereas Toto isn’t.

Apart from that, the c1oo seat is a great choice when it comes to this price range budget.

The water temperature is adjustable so is the heated seat and you also get warm air to finish off the cleanse.

The Biobidet bb-2000 is our best choice for being the best luxury bidet toilet seat. With all the features you would expect without the highest price tag that some others are charging.

Best Bidet Toilet Seats For 2020Hi there, my name is Jack married dad of 3 kids and self-employed plumber. Today I want to share with you my thoughts and opinions on the 5 best bidet toilet seats for 2020.

If your looking to buy a new bidet toilet seat or new to the concept of using a bidet and landed on this post, If that is the case then you are in the right place.

We will run through and tell you what the #1 best selling electronic bidet toilet seat is on Amazon.com… where you can purchase yours from and get you the best deals.

We have looked at several different when making our choice and now we’re going to run through the top 5 best bidet toilet seats for 2020.

Before we get into looking at the different features that you should look for when you are shopping for an electronic bidet toilet seat we’re going to give you our top choice straightaway.

Best Bidet Toilet Seats For 2020:

#1- SmartBidet SB-1000 Electric Bidet Seat

If your looking for the very best and Amazon.com #1 best selling bidet toilet seat then you can’t go wrong with the SmartBidet SB-1000 Electric Bidet Seat.

The reason why this is the best choice goes on that is well priced for an electric bidet toilet seat, has all the luxury of a high-end seat and made from high-quality parts and materials.

You can check out the SmartBidet SB-1000 review that we did that goes into death and covers everything you need to know about this bidet seat.

Just to give you a quick overview on this page, however, you will get a luxury electric bidet toilet seat it also comes with a remote control that you can preset or your own liking and easy to install.

Price:

The price was also a major consideration most people are looking for a good bidet seat.

You don’t want to buy some overpriced crap with little to none backup support that is another reason why this is our top choice.

At the time of writing Amazon.com was having a sale on the SmartBidet SB-1000 Electric Bidet Seat @ 38% off or almost $150.00 off. Click here to see if the sale is still on <<

Customer Reviews:

Another thing that we had a look at with this toilet seat is the number of customer reviews that are on Amazon.com.

This is a good thing because when someone purchases something off Amazon.com…they can go back and leave a review.

This has so much power for you as a buyer because you know that the person leaving the review has actually used the product.

This electric bidet seat has over 550 customer reviews and an average score of 4.5 out of 5, so if you want something that is proven from paid customers then this is your top choice.

If you need more info click on the link below to check out our full review.

#1- SmartBidet SB-1000 Electric Bidet Seat review


#2- Bio Bidet Ultimate bb-600

If your looking for an alternative to our top choice for the Best Bidet Toilet Seats For 2020 then maybe you might consider the Bio Bidet bb-600.

It was a very close toss up for this seat to be #1. The only reason why it came in #2 is it doesn’t have as many features as the SmartBidet SB-1000.

In saying that it is still a very good bidet seat. It doesn’t come with a remote control or you can’t preset the setting to your own comfort and liking. You have to set it every time you use it.

It still has most of the features and luxuries like the heated seat and heated water for when you cleanse. It is a little cheaper seat too but that doesn’t mean it’s less of quality, far from it.

It’s just those few little things that separate them apart.

Make sure you check out our review for a more in-depth overview.


#3- Toto Washlet c200: A great alternative to our top 2 choices.

One of the main reasons why this one came in at #3 for me is it has NO round seat. You can only purchase elongated and who knows if or when they will bring back the round.

Apart from that, it has all the features you would expect from a high end high priced luxury electronic bidet toilet seat.

The reviews on amazon.com are average with nearly 400 reviews and an average 4-star rating it is a bummer.

I do like the look of this seat but as said above, shame they only make it elongated. But is does come in two colors, white and Sedona beige.

One feature I do love about this seat is its Premist technology. It’s a great idea and I will be thinking in the future other brands will follow suit. You can read more about the Premist and what it is by clicking on the link below.

Click here to go to Toto washlet c200 review…


#4- Brondell S1000-EW Swash 1000 Advanced Bidet Elongated Toilet Seat

Now, this seat is high end. Has warm water at the touch of a button providing you on-demand and endless warm water washes.

No reservoir tank means there is no running out of warm water and getting blasted with a cold spray when the reservoir tank runs out. No wasted electricity keeping water warm when not in use.

Has an adjustable spray width so you can have a jet to cleanse with or adjust the setting hand has a nice gentle mist spray.

You can get them in both round and elongated, heated like all luxury seats should be and with a remote control to customize the setting for your own comfort.

Price for what it is why it’s ranking down the scale. For nearly $600 bucks so it should have all the bells and whistles and that it does.

To check out and see the full product page and you will also be able to see the price as well as what people are saying about this product then click here to go straight through to Amazon.com…


#5- BioBidet Supreme BB-1000 Elongated White Bidet Toilet Seat Adjustable Warm Water

Ok to round off the top 5 of the best bidet toilet seats for 2020 is the Bio bidet supreme bb-1000. Comes with all the features of the heated seat and has adjustable warm air-fan to dry off after your cleansing.

Heated tank reservoir so you can cleanse with warm water for those winter times to accompaniment the heated seat.

Unlike the others above the Bio bidet supreme bb 1000 has a 3-year limited manufacturer coverage. 36-month coverage for parts and labor.

This page will give you a guide that will help you buy a heavy-duty toilet seat that will give you the support that you want, the comfort that you need and the safety that won’t break like other cheap and nasty so-called heavy duty seats do.

What Makes A Toilet Seat Heavy Duty?

Bariatric toilet seatFace with a plethora of choices and brands on the market, deciding on which to buy and will do the best job is a hard task.

It’s not like you are purchasing a cheap plastic $5 seat from the local hardware store. So now we’re going to take a look at what you should look for in a heavy duty toilet seat.

First up, the seat must be approved by the ADA. This is a minimum requirement I believe all seats should have to set them aside from others. ADA (American Disability Association) sets the minimum standard so having the stamp of approval from them is a must.

Next to make a heavy-duty toilet seat heavy duty it needs to be able to carry and support heavy loads right! So in saying that, the main to capacities heavy duty toilets seats come in is a maximum 800 lb or bariatric toilet seat that has a maximum 1200 pound capacity.

Of course, the material plays a big part in this too. All heavy duty toilet seats are made from the highest quality plastic known to man and are chemical and stain proof. Making these toilet seats tough and unbreakable.

That in its self makes them a sigh of relief…not about you but I’ve broken my share of seats and its not the best feeling.

Make sure that any toilet seat that you choose has durable ABS hinges or stainless steel. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a tough, impact-resistant plastic that is widely used across many different industries, that including making toilet seat hinges and are the same quality at the seats stain resistant.

Because oversized toilet seats are made for obese people extra support and grip is another thing to look for when purchasing your new seat. If you are doing transfers make sure that the seat you got has rubber bumpers underside so that when installed will grip the porcelain, helping the seat from shifting and moving.

What’s The Best Bariatric Toilet Seat?

how to measure for a toilet seatWhen searching the internet about the bariatric toilet seat you see there isn’t really a lot of info on what to look for and which is best for you.

So not only have we told you what makes a heavy-duty toilet seat. Things like make sure its ADA approved and make sure the toilet seat is chemical and stain-resistant.

Also, we have also told you what they are made of so you know your next toilet seat will be unbreakable.

Now we’re going to tell you about different heights and shapes.

A well made bariatric toilet seat comes in either an open front toilet seat or fully closed, with or without lids. The majority have a lift from 1 1/2″ to 2 1/2″ height lift.

Do you choose to go to an open toilet seat or closed toilet seat? Do you need a round or elongated?

These questions will be answered throughout this site and many more you haven’t may have thought of yet.

When looking for a seat to use and that can stand up to us heavier people our choices are limited.

All we want is a seat that looks like a toilet seat that is practical, comfortable and most of all makes us feel safe when using it.

The best toilet seats for obese people or for a heavy person that we have found that will do the best job, ADA approved and come highly recommended on many forums and websites from those who have purchased is Big John’s Toilet Seats.

Here are some of the best bariatric toilet seats that we have today. Let’s take a quick peek…

Now that you have a cornerstone idea on what we are all on about here, let’s get back to it.

A few reasons why a standard toilet seat is just wrong.

A simple and short answer is their crap.

Made from flimsy cheap plastic that doesn’t have the weight capacity that a seat needs that is designed for larger people.

Having plastic bolts and nuts that holds the seat down onto the bowl-like wtf?

They should be stainless steel or at least heavy duty made from durable ABS, not the light stuff you get with a standard toilet seat.

Another reason why a standard toilet seat is not an option is and I”m a true believer that you get what you pay for.

automatic lifting seatA standard toilet seat has hardly any extra supports under the seat causing more stress on the seat when in use can cause cracking and splitting. Oversize toilet seats have more support and include stabilizing rubber bumpers to help level and support the seat from movement.

These bumpers also help with the seat gripping to the porcelain for easy transfers if need be.

Being not approved by the ADA (American Disability Association) is a major concern as well as without there backing you know they’re not going to do the job.

Over the life, if you are like me, you’ve broken a seat or two or cracked more then you want to remember then those little things do make a difference.

Standard plastic toilet seats are just a pain in the butt. If you trust what you are sitting on then that makes the job far easier and that’s where Big John’s Toilet Seats come in to there own.

What Is The Best Toilet Seat For Heavy Person?

When the time comes to choose a new heavy toilet seat there are quite a few different brands and shapes out there. As a plumber by profession I have installed quite a few seats over the time of my life and what I have found is that for quality and reliability Big Johns heavy duty toilet seats are the go.

Being made to suit most standard and elongated American toilet bowls and come in either a 2.5 inch or 1.5-inch rise. There all ADA(Americans with Disability Act) approved so you know they are well made and been tested.

Constructed of the best materials possible so you know you have quality there. Having synthetic rubber bumpers that sit under the seat that grips the seat to the porcelain of the toilet bowl stopping it from shifting when carrying out any transfers.

Using stainless steel hinges to mount the seat to the toilet bowl. There lightest carrying seat capacity is 800 lbs and that is for the Big John Standard Toilet seat up to 1200 lbs for the Big John Original Toilet seat.

Big John toilet seats not only just have toilet seats they have support mounts that connect to under the toilet bowl. They work within conjunction with the existing wall carriers to help distribute the weight helping to increase the weight capacity 350 lbs to 1000 lbs.

Hey guys, Jack here with another short how-to post for you guys. Today is a quick tutorial and will show you how to replace a tap washer.

It’s very easy to do and just remember that I am a plumber by trade and read here the disclaimer before you decide to carry out your own plumbing.

With all that said and done, there are a few things you will need.

  • Tube spanner or adjustable shifter.
  • Tap washer/s
  • Pointy nose pliers
  1. First off turn the water off to the house at water the mains/water meter. Depending on which tap you are repairing as some have stop valves installed under the bench like the kitchen.
  2. If its just the hot water tap, just go to your how water system and turn the water off there, just remember this will only turn the hot side off.
  3. I fully recommend to turn the mains off and while you have the water off, you might as well do both hot n cold valves.
  4. Whichever you decide, once the water is off open up the tap to drain any water that is in the lines. Another reason to open the tap is it takes the pressure off the valve, seat and makes it easier to loosen off the spindle.
  5. Remove the button which is the nut that holds the tap on in the location.
  6. Remove the spings if you have it and the flange cover plate.
  7. Loosen off the spindle with your choice of tool and unscrew a fully removing it from the breach.
  8. Depending on how worn the washer is, it may stay dislodged in the seat. Just use the pliers and remove it so it doesn’t fowl with the new one being installed.
  9. Place the new tap washer in the locating hole at the end of the spindle.
  10. Reinsert the spindle back into the breach and tighten up.How To Replace A Tap Washer In Australia
  11. Sit the handle on the shaft of the spindle and close the tap off and turn the water on. All were doing here is checking to make sure there is no water leak.
  12. With the water on, turn the tap on and check for any water leaking on the seal where you screwed the spindle back into the breach.
  13. If no leaks remove the handle and install the flange, springs if you have them and place the handle back on and screw on the button nut.How To Replace A Tap Washer In Australia
  14. Done and dusted, that is how easy it is to replace a tap washer on any tap here in Australia.

The main key point here is to make sure you have turned the water off.

Here is a video of all the steps put together.

Tap Still Leaking After Reseating https://ezyfixplumbing.com/tap-still-leaking-after-reseating/ Sun, 02 Feb 2020 00:59:29 +0000 https://ezyfixplumbing.com/?p=2945 Read more

If you have reseated your leaking tap/s, replaced the washers, serviced the spindles and still leaking after reseating…then this message is just for you.

It happens and it’s just one of those things, and in this post, I am going to go over and tell you what the possible reasons are.

There are really only two reasons why your taps still leak after reseating them.

You haven’t reseated the seat well enough and still pitted or the valve is faulty, brass filings or other foreign matter underneath the seat of the new valve.

More than likely it will be the seat not reseated good enough if you follow my steps here on removing the brass filings after you have finished reseating.

Just turn the water off, dismantle the tap and check the seat that it doesn’t look like this below.

Tap Still Leaking After Reseating

You need to have a perfectly smooth finished, as smooth as a baby’s bum smooth, just like the image below.

How To Reseat a bath tap and replace the washers

Just keep working on your seat until you get that type of finish.

If you are happy with the reseat and it all looks good, then it has to be the washer. No two ways about it.

Just replace the washer with a new one. There really isn’t too much more that it can be.

If you think the pit marks are too deep you can always try and tap a new stainless steel seat.

This can be another option and do recommend getting a professional in for this one.

Installing a new seat is the last straw before the need to replacing. But if the seat is to thin from wear and tear then your only option is to replace the entire breach.

Key points you need to know when reseating a tap is:

  1. Turn the water off

My Top 3 Best Garbage Disposal For Under $100

Waste King 2600

Our top choice for value and money has to be the Waste king l 2600 garbage disposal. Best price as it comes in at only $78 bucks at the time of writing normally $87. See if the discount is still available here.

The amount of reviews just on Amazon.com alone is just short of 4,000. The average star rating is 4.3 out of 5 star, which is very high and good.

Out of all the reviews, only 5 % of the reviews had to give a 1 star. Of course, we don’t just go on the reviews, the features and what you get is another reason.

Having a high speed 1/2HP 2600 rev motor will grind most common household food scraps with ease.

Has a safety jam button on the front for just in case it does ever jam

Together with Waste King’s Ezy Mount a for quick and easy installation and backed by Waste King’s 5-year warranty the Waste King l2600 is our best garbage disposal for under $100 dollars.

Insinkerator badger 5 garbage disposal

The badger 5 InSinkErator moves up and down like a yo-yo on its pricing. At the time of writing this post, the price was at $99.00 which is a great value as the normal price is $190.00. Click here to see if the sale price is still available<<

If you can snag it at the sale price than you’ve struck gold for sure. The Insinkerator Badger 5 is currently Amazons #1 selling garbage disposal unit overall when writing this.

It has 4,932 paid customer reviews with a 4.5-star rating out of 5. 10% of the reviews are only a 1-star rating which is a little high, but out of nearly 5000 reviews over 4,000 are positive.

The badger 5 InSinkErator has a 1/2 HP Dura drive motor that will tackle the most common food waste and scraps that you can throw down its neck.

Here are a couple of reasons why we put the badger 5 disposals as #2 is:

  • Warranty, the bagder 5 has a 2 year where the waste king l 2600 has 5 years.
  • Price fluctuation. L 2600 legend price is pretty much fixed at $78 dollars for the past 6 months where Insinkerator badger 5 price goes up and down more times than the moon does☺.
  • I may be picky but another thing that has my goat is the badger 5 comes with NO power cord. Like really and at full odds of $190.00 bucks, you would think they would throw in a 50 cent cord hey?

If you’re lucky when you need one and can jag it on a sale thumbs up grab it other wise I would go for the Waste King 2600.

Hi there! My name is Jack, married dad of 3 kids and being a licensed plumber I’ve seen my fair share of garbage disposals. I’ve seen the good, the bad and how can I say without offending anyone ummm stuff it, the cheap, nasty crap from off eBay or aliexpress.

There I said it…

Here are a few things that I look for in a garbage disposal unit and I recommend you do too.

Three things to consider when looking for the best garbage disposal for the home…

  • Price
  • Noise
  • Power

How Noisy The Garbage Disposal Is?

For me noise plays more apart over price. I would rather spend few more dollars on a unit and use it then have a disposal that I have to wear ear muffs when in use. Just imaging having ear plugs for your guests after dinner to wear while you clean up…NOT.

Value for money?

Working for myself I admit I’m a tight ass. I work hard for my money and so do you. So for me price is a factor too.

Because I’m a tight ass doesn’t mean I’m a scrooge. I don’t buy things because they are cheap, unless it’s on a sale, so I rather buy quality even if it costs more.

How much grunt do you need?

Here is a quick overview of the standard sizes garbage disposals and family size most suited for:

  • ⅓ or ½ HP: suitable for a small house or apartment with 1-3 people
  • ¾ HP: perfect for families with 4-6 people
  • 1 HP: able to take care of a family of 7-9 people
  • 2 HP: 2 HP is really strong and can handle food waste for more than 9 people.

What Is The Best Garbage Disposal 2019?

Holly mackerel how fast has 2018 gone, just feels like yesterday I was writing this same think on the best garbage disposals 2018.

Ok well here’s My 3 Top Choices:

I will now give you a run down of my top three choices so you can decide which one to go for and also find out the differences between each one!

My Top Choice For The Best Garbage Disposal 2019 Is:

InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Garbage Disposal:

This is my top choice for a great garbage disposal unit for the home. The first thing that I want to talk about is how quite the unit is.

Insinkerator have rated the InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP as quite. It’s not there quietest unit but with it’s 4 year warranty 2 stage grind I rate it very well. I have done a lot of research and can confirm that the InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Garbage Disposal if the best top pick and ticks all the boxes.

Comes with everything you need in the box besides the power cord. I know what your saying, and I can’t understand it either.

Features of the InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Garbage Disposal:

  • 3/4 HP Dura-Drive motor
  • 2-Stage MultiGrind Technology
  • SoundSeal Technology for Quiet performance
  • Quick Lock easy installation sink mount
  • Power cord not included
  • Assembled in USA with American Pride
Verdict:

This is my top choice if you’re looking for the best garbage disposal for 2019 as this same unit was rated best garbage disposal for 2018 by me and many others as well.

I believe it’s still the best bang for ya buck and a fairly good price.

My Second Choice for Best Garbage Disposal 2019:

Waste King Legend Series 1/2 HP Power Cord-(L-2600) Garbage Disposal:

This is my second choice for a good kitchen garbage disposal unit.

Has all the feature of Waste King that you would expect. Only reason why I have it as my second choice is purely power size. With any of the Waste King garbage disposal units it’s all about the size of the machine for your needs.

If you’re looking for something that is not as quite and you don’t need one as powerful as my top choice and you are looking for something that will last a long time then you need to check this one out today.

Verdict:

This is our second choice for a great garbage disposal for 2019. It will give you everything that you need if you’re looking for great unit that will handle average household and does not break the bank!

My Third Choice for The Top Garbage Disposal Unit For 2019:

Insinkerator Badger 5, 1/2 HP Household Food Waste Disposer:

This is my third choice if you’re looking for a great garbage disposal system for 2019. Although this will not give you quite the same level of quietness as my top two choices I think if you’ve read this far then you are looking for something that is a little bit cheaper and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like my two top picks.

 Although this is a cheaper unit you will also find this a fantastic garbage disposal unit for it’s price.

It’s affordable, reliable and compact size makes it a ideal unit for those who wants a gutsy, no frills unit that will handle just about anything you throw down its throat.

Super easy to set up with it’s Quick Lock Easy Installation, you can’t go past the Insinkerator badger5

This unit will fit in to most standard sink installation plumbing.

Verdict:

This chair is as powerful as my top two choices but it will give you a great third choice if you’re looking for something cheaper, little louder and robust as hell. It has received great reviews and I highly recommend checking this one out below:

Best Garbage Disposal for Septic Systems?

My 3 Top Choices:

Now I will give you a rundown of my top three choices so you can decide which one to go for and also you can see the differences between each one!

My Top Choice For Best Disposal For Septic System:

InSinkErator Evolution Excel 1.0 HP Household Garbage Disposal

This is my top choice for a great garbage disposal. The first thing I want to tell you about this disposal is that it’s well suited for use on septic as well as mains sewer connection.

A problem with a lot of other the cheaper disposals is they are not suited for septic systems and you don’t know until you get home and connect it all up to find out hat it won’t work with your current system.

I have done all the research on this for you and can confirm that the Insinkerator Evolution Excel will work well with you’re septic system.

What’s in the Box:

1. InSinkErator Evolution Excel garbage disposal.

2. Installation instructions.

3. Quick Lock sink mount.

4. Stainless steel stopper.

5. Discharge tubes.

6. Sink baffle.

7. Clamp, hardware, Jam-Buster wrench.

Note: Power cord not included which I think is very average for a high end unit and for the sake of $5 bucks you would think they would just add it in.

Verdict of the Insinkerator evolution excel 1.0 hp

This is my top choice if you’re looking for a great garbage disposal for the home. Ideally suited for homes on septic and mains sewer.

One of the quietest units on the market and with it’s 1 HP Dura-Drive motor, 3-stage multi-grind technology and wait for it  year in house warranty, you can’t go wrong with this little beauty.

My Second Choice For Best Garbage Disposal For Septic:

Insinkerator Badger 5 1/2 HP Household Food Waste Disposer:

My second choice is good for the budget conscious in mind. It’s a no frills, pure grunt horsepower machine that turns the average daily food scraps in to fine pulp in seconds.

And yes it’s septic compatible too☺

This unit is one of the top selling units on Amazon.com and is suited to be used on septic systems for sure.

Running a 1/2HP motor it’s most suited for 2-5 people households and it’s single grind system will just about grind anything that gets in to it’s path.

Installation is easy as 1-2-3 with it’s twist lock done connection and continues feed you can see why it’s Amazon’s top selling garbage disposal for under $200.00 buck.

In fact at the time of writing this post Amazon.com had 48% off which equals to $92.00 saving. You can see if the sale is still on and snag yourself a bargain==> Insinkerator Badger 5 

If you’re looking for something that doesn’t have the same features as the my top choice and you are looking for something that will last a long time and then you need to check this one out today.

Verdict:

This is my second choice for a great garbage disposal unit and it will give you everything that you need and also something that does not break the bank!

My Third Choice For Best Garbage Disposal For Septic:

Insinkerator SEPTICASSIST Evolution Septic Assist

This is my third choice if you’re looking for another choice of a great garbage disposal unit for your septic system.

One thing I really love with this disposal is that it’s specifically designed for septic systems.

Unlike the other two above is that it has it’s own in-built Bio-Charge enzyme treatment to help keep your septic system running smoothly.

Made with Insinkerator standards and professionalism it comes with a 2 grind 3/4 HP motor and has all the features of the Evolution serious.

Features like the 4 year warranty and running the latest SoundSeal Technology to keeps grinding noise to a minimum.

Verdict:

This unit is of better quality over the badger 5 and a few steps down from the Evolution Excel.

It was a very close race between the Badger 5 and this unit as I ranked them.

If you like the automatic system where it injects the enzymes in to the septic system.

Then the insinkerator evolution septic assist is for you.

 It has received great reviews and I highly recommend checking this one out below:

Final Thoughts When Picking a Good Garbage Disposal For Septic Use:

When the time comes to buying a new garbage disposal for septic systems make sure that the model is most suited to work with septic.

Not all garbage disposal units are compatible.

Nothing worse ordering or buying one and getting home to find out it’s not suited for your needs.

As yo can see there are many brands and models that will suit your needs.

I hope I have helped and answered many of you’re questions regarding what is the best garbage disposal for septic systems.

What To Look For In A Seat

When looking for a toilet seat we need to look at quality. There are a lot of brands on the market these days boasting how good there seats are. The simple thing for a good quality no frills heavy duty commercial toilet seat that is comfortable and even better priced then all you need is a bemis heavy duty toilet seat. These seats are made to commercial grade so can be used at the home, office hospital or anywhere where you need a toilet seat.

The Bemis 7800TDG000 Plastic Toilet Seat Elongated White has been designed for that reason. There toilet seat fits most American standard toilet bowls and is made to commercial grade strength. 

These seats use the all new STA-TITE Seat Fastening System. This system never loosens off once installed and makes installing the seat and removing for maintenance reasons a breeze.

The bemis seats are made out of durable plastic material with a nicely contoured seat with a closed front and fold down lid. Very easy to clean and maintain due to the duraguard antimicrobial feature in the plastic. Duraguard is an antimicrobial agent that with regular cleaning protects the toilet seat from micro-organisms. This will help protect the seat from growing mold, etc if you live in a humid environment. Toilet seats manufactured for commercial use generally have duraguard in them for that reason of simple cleaning and care of the seat.

Easy Install

The Bemis 7800TDG000 Plastic Toilet Seat group toilet seats are so easy to install that really anyone can do it. We have included a short video below for you to watch just to see how easy it is. Check it out below

 As you can see from the video how simple and easy they are to install. Only thing that we don’t like about this model seat is that there not silent of soft closing seats. We can understand why when used in a commercial area like shopping complex where high use traffic that use the seats and maybe get vandalized easier to.

The Bemis 7800TDG000 Plastic Toilet Seat is the best all round toilet seat for heavy or large people that wants a secure, strong and simple toilet seat. The seats are made from plastic with a added agent which is in the plastic called duraguard. This duraguard is a antimicrobial agent that with regular cleaning protects the toilet seat from micro-organisms.

What Is The Best Heated Toilet Seat?

Hi everyone and welcome to DIY Plumbing Guide. In this article we are going to look at and see what is the best heated toilet seat. We will go through what our recommendation is, why we think it’s the best and most importantly show you where you can pick up the seat for the best price.

What Is A Heated Toilet Seat?

A Brondell heated toilet seat takes the place of your existing toilet seat but with a few added bonuses. It has a light and a temperature switch extra over your old seat. Yep you heard. You can plug it into power turn a dial and away it goes. Now how good does that sound on those cold winter months when nature calls at some silly hour in the morning. It also has a LED light built in so you don’t even have to turn a light on. Just walk towards the light.

The built-in nightlight has a simple “on/off” button and a blue LED light bulb that is energy efficient. The toilet seat is easy to install and  replaces any existing toilet seat. Is easily adjustable for a perfect fit on any standard fixture. All Brondell toilet seats have a gentle soft closing seat and lid with superior style and quality you won’t find anywhere else.

The seat is powered by a standard GFI outlet so there is no need to call in a electrician unless there is no outlet close by or if nothing else extension lead works well.

Check out the video below..ENJOY

What is the best seat

We have found over time there is only one brand that we would recommend as the leader in heated toilet seats and that is Brondell. Brondell make 2 different but same heated toilet seats and they are

  • Brondell L60-EW LumaWarm Heated Nightlight Elongated Toilet Seat(elongated)
  • Brondell L60-RW LumaWarm Heated Nightlight Elongated Toilet Seat(round)

They both come with and adjustable temperature heat setting with 3 different temperatures low-medium-high. long lasting LED light bulb that is blue in color, soft closing seat and lid. Will fit most standard toilet bowls and has a 1 year limited warranty. You can see why we recommend Brondell toilet seats. You don’t have to take our word for it as once you do you own research you will see why.

Last Words of Wisdom

The Brondell Brand have been in the business since 2003 and there not going anywhere. With quite a few award under there belt and i’m sure as time goes on there be more. They not only just do heated toilet seats but also bidets, bidet seats and water filtration’s
