1. Smart toilet leakage
Because of the health and comfort of smart toilets, its popularity in China has steadily increased in recent years. But on the other hand, the safety of smart toilets has gradually become a common concern. Among them, smart toilet leakage is a common quality problem in domestic smart toilets.

The structure is directly related to the safety of the glass and shower room, so the shower room frame must be strong and durable. The shower room material can be aluminum alloy or stainless steel. At the same time, the slide rails must be smooth. Slide rails are often the culprit of self-explosion in shower rooms. Poor quality slide rails are difficult to pull. When pulling hard, the glass is prone to explosion due to uneven force. The shower room using magnetic levitation technology is easy to push and pull, quiet and comfortable.
