12 Best Water Closets and Toilet Bowls in Singapore

1. Saniton Ixia ST2466 One-Piece Water Closet

Fully protected with an Anti-Bacterial Glaze

Investing in a good toilet bowl makes a huge difference, especially when you choose something like the Saniton Ixia ST2466 One-Piece Water Closet. The best thing about this water closet is that it is fully protected with an anti-bacterial glaze to prevent bacterial growth and reduce microbial activity.  Even the toilet seat and cover come with anti-bacterial protection! The glaze is not just a surface coating, but is rather infused deep into the ceramic for long-lasting protection. Moreover, it is tested and certified by Tuv Sud under JIS Z 2801 standards, where the laboratory confirmed that >99% of bacteria commonly found in bathrooms are killed upon contact with the Ixia ST2466 glazed ceramic surface.

We also appreciate how the Saniton Ixia ST2466 One-Piece Water Closet is designed especially for long-lasting hygiene. For instance, it is designed to be rimless, which means that there are no hard-to-reach places for germs, dirt and bacteria to accumulate. The inner surface of the toilet bowl can be cleaned easily with just one wipe! In addition, it comes with Saniton’s newly developed Whirlpool Flush, a new flushing method that projects powerful jets of water in a whirlpool-like motion for optimal cleaning. This way, lesser water can be used and yet the flushing performance is much more powerful and far-reaching with its 360-degree cleaning power. The Ixia ST2466 also comes with a dual flush function which requires only as little as 3.5L of water for a full flush and 2.5L of water for a half flush.

Suitable for a contemporary bathroom setting

Designed and made by Singaporeans with fellow Singaporeans in mind, the Saniton Ixia ST2466 One-Piece Water Closet is perfect for your contemporary bathroom. It boasts a specially designed slim and lightweight cistern cover that makes the water closet look more elegant. See more of it by watching the video below:

Local homegrown Sanitary ware brand

Buying the Saniton Ixia ST2466 also means that you are supporting local. Now a part of Singaporean heritage, Saniton is one of the last few remaining Sanitary ware manufacturers which is locally born and bred. They have been in service for 33 years and counting, so you can be sure about the quality of their products. Also, they have a reliable after-sales service which we find really enticing as you can easily find help and replacement parts for their Sanitary wares, even for those that are bought from them 10-20 years ago. Best of all, their products, especially the Ixia ST2466, have amazing features at such affordable price points. These features do not come by easily, and could cost a lot more in other brands.  

Why buy this:

• Value for money
• Upgraded with anti-bacterial glaze protection
• Special rimless bowl design for easy cleaning
• With a Whirlpool flush
• Modern and elegant design

2. RIGEL 9030S Closed Coupled Water Closet

Ergonomic and stylish

Rigel continues to leverage technology to produce award-winning product designs with higher value and efficiency, one of which is the Rigel WR-R-WC9030S water closet. With its sleek, minimalist look, it can easily blend into any modern bathroom design.

Functionality is great as well, with its carefully designed bowl surface ensuring that water does not splash out of the bowl and that its optimally sized sump hole operates without any clogging.

What we also highly appreciate is that RIgel offers the option to get this water closet in a one-piece or two-piece model, and we can choose between a fully-backed or exposed back design, allowing for a more versatile installation to suit our tastes more.

Hygienic and eco-friendly sanitary ware

We have no qualms about using this toilet even late at night, as from its soft closing seat and cover to flushing, everything operates silently.

One of our favourite features worth gushing about is Rigel’s patented WhirlWash Technology, which lowers water consumption by 22% due to its strong flushing power with low water usage! It is efficiently designed to reach all areas within the water closet despite less water consumed. Additionally, the 9030S has a dual flush system that is certified up to 3 ticks of using only 3.5 L and 2.5L per flush, for a full or reduced flush respectively.

Their water closets are currently equipped with Puraglaze which is a special glaze that prevents stains from forming on the bowl and helps resist odours. Should you wish for added protection, you can opt to add Purashield Technology for anti-bacterial protection.

Convenient and intelligent design for easy maintenance

If you had to frequently scrub your toilet, you’d be thankful for the fully glazed ceramic surface of 9030S. With Rigel’s PuraGlaze Anti-Stain formula, any dirt is easily washed off the surface by simply flushing, thereby preventing stains and odours from developing. 

The Rigel WC9030S boasts a rimless design that prevents dirt and bacteria from accumulating. Without a rim, dirt will not collect in the inner pan, making cleaning so much easier. Furthermore, the water closet features a flexible pan collar, which fits bathrooms with a trap distance smaller than 10 inches long. Long story short, installation is simple and buyers do not need to worry about dismantling existing WC, as this feature eliminates any downtime for buyers so that they do not have to live without a water closet for even a day.

If you wish to see the 9030S water closet in action, check out the video below.

Why buy this:

• Minimalist, space-saving, and available in different designs
