A “civilized” equipped toilet will help to improve the quality of rest in a summer cottage. The convenience of using it in a country house , in a personal plot or in a bathhouse is incomparable with a conventional outdoor toilet. The difference in the operating conditions of street plumbing at different times of the year creates certain difficulties , which can be eliminated in a simple way.
The difficulty of operating outdoor toilets in winter
The experience of using toilet bowls in the country shows, that when the temperature drops in winter, the water in the water seal may freeze. At the same time, plumbing equipment will simply burst. because of expansion of the frozen liquid. It is easy to drain water from pipes and a washbasin , that emptying the water seal of the toilet is difficult, because it cannot be easily removed and emptied.
There are special types of toilets without a water seal , which are produced specifically for use outside residential premises at their summer cottage. But if we are talking about ordinary plumbing , then special techniques or a simple refinement of the system will be required.
What are the ways to pump out water?
You can remove the liquid from the water seal, using a syringe, vacuum cleaner hose, a piece of sewer pipe and a jar. But the complexity and laboriousness of the procedure , and also its unaesthetic appearance is not suitable for squeamish people. In addition, there is a less time-consuming and complicated way to remove the liquid from the water seal.
Why drill a hole in the toilet?
You can solve the problem very easilyif you drill a hole in the bottom of the water seal with an electric drill and attach a hose or thin tube to remove fluid from the water seal. Refinement of street plumbing does not require special skills , you need to act carefully and accurately , especially at the end of drilling , when cracks are most likely to appear.
To do this, you need special drills for tiles., and then a ceramic processing funnel as small as possible for subsequent deepening. The fragility of faience suggests caution when working with it. , otherwise, the plumbing may crack. Drill speed should be kept to a minimum. , and a high-quality funnel for porcelain stoneware can greatly facilitate the task.
After drilling the desired hole, insert a fitting to secure the hose and two gaskets. The hose is pulled over the fitting and remains in the hole until the onset of cold weather. It is pinched with a tube or rope , and such an overlapped folded hose does not interfere with the use of plumbing all summer. When the temperature drops , but effective mechanism will help you quickly flush the water from the toilet water seal . To do this, just release the hose and direct it into a low container. So you don’t even touch the liquid from the toilet with your hands , it will pour out by itself without any effort on your part.
