By Jennie Sandoval


Raised toilet seats are vital to the elderly. Purchasing one depends largely on what has been instructed by the doctor. Toilet seats are available in different forms and each is specially designed with a distinctive purpose. Buyers should, therefore, consult with their physicians just before heading to the any home depot.

For someone to able to determine the right seat enables elderly to experience real convenience and comfort. This will not be too hard to find for there are lots of stores around the city that have a plethora of displays. Installing this, however, can be pretty tricky but no one needs to get a professional installer for it to be done exactly. The purchase typically comes with user-friendly step-by-step instructions and if followed very carefully, the project can will wrapped up that way it is expected. For people installing bubble-type raised seats, here is a quick advice.

First is to lift the seat and the cover of the toilet. This has to be done in order for the lid and the seat to be positioned upright and to be out the way. It will be impossible to work efficiently without having it done for the bowl will be required to be opened later.

The seat must then be positioned through the tall end found at the bowl's rear and inner ring. In installing the bowl, it is necessary for the elevated seat to be pushed hard down until it gets securely in place. But inasmuch as this is not designed for permanent use, it is very important to check with the doctor each once in a while for this likely compromises safety of users using it beyond recommended date.

Raised toilet seats that have adjustable knobs will be harder to install. But then again, there is no need to pay for an installer for this to be done right. The same thing will be done during the process, though. The lid and seat must be lifted for the same reason.

Adjustments are to be made only by the time the cover has been raised. Once finished, the adjustment knob has to be turned in counterclockwise direction for the adjustment bracket to loosen. Doing this makes the seat much easier to fit with the bowl.

This has to be done continuously without an increase of force of course until it fits perfectly. After, the toilet is to be placed in the bowl rim while hooking its rear flanges located under the edge. The elevated unit must sit flat on the rim. Also, the knob must be ensured fixed at the front end.

Having it positioned on the rim, it must be pushed a bit harder using the hands in order to get the new seat placed in the middle. The adjustment knob should then be turned in clockwise motion this time to tighten. One must continue doing it until he feels resistance on the knob.

And if the top end of the raised toilet seats hit the lid, these should be removed for proper fit. Specific instructions for installation and adjustments are identified by the American Red Cross to ensure safety. If having trouble installing, it is best to call for professional help.
