Home The Science Behind Toilets
Bryan from Pioneer Builders Inc unpacks the intricate details of toilet engineering after a hands-on visit to Gerber’s headquarters near Chicago. Starting with a cutaway demonstration, he explores how water flow, jet angles, and siphon technology work together for optimal performance. Learn the “Three C’s” of toilet functionality: Clearing, Cleaning, and Carrying waste efficiently. Gerber’s innovative design and testing processes, including the use of real-world simulations like golf balls and dye tests, ensure their toilets exceed industry standards. Bryan and Gerber’s expert, Cesar, discuss challenges like low-flow toilets in older plumbing systems, insulated tanks to prevent condensation, and the importance of smooth vitreous china surfaces for hygiene and durability. Discover why features like rim jets and dual glazes make Gerber toilets stand out, and get practical tips on maintenance, including why bleach tablets are a no-go. Whether you’re a builder, plumber, or homeowner, this video is packed with insights to help you specify, install, and maintain high-performing toilets.
