GOOD toilet that flushes in ONE flush?

[BobK207]

Although I'm a little embarassed to admit it........I tend to notice toilet brands & how well (or poorly) they preform.

Based on my unscientific study the toliet the Budman suggests is probably the only low water usage toilet that worked......

Champion model. by American Standard is the only one I would buy. Get this model you will be pleased with it..

Rather impressive since my 1930 house house the original American Standard toilets.

Here's the test report:

Our 3 Kohler Wellworth 'Comfort height' elongated bowl toilets work well. We also had them in our last house we built in 1998. They were highly rated then and all 6 have done a great job for us. I'd buy them again.

I read that the Toto pressure tank ones work well too but they were more expensive.

A two hole outhouse always flushes......... :)

Otherwise f>Our toilets do not flush very well. Meaning that it may take 2 or more

You have gotten good replies. Toiletology 101 may also help:

I disagree. My Toto's flush very well. Cheers, cc

Another vote here for a Toto Drake.

A trick to use on a regular 1.5 gallon tank is to hold the handle down until enough water enters the bowl to make a whirlpool and carry everything away.

You might want to consider a Flapperless toilet,Google will find the site. I've had one in my apartment for 5 years with only a rare need for a double flush. There's hardly anything to go wrong with them.

ROTFL!

On their intro page, it reads: "Please come in and find a seat"

I doubt if the pun was intended.

You pee 5 times a day, you shit once in 1-2 days. It makes sense to conserve water on those pee flushes. The slight inconvenience of having potentially flush twice far outweights the gallons of water wasted on those pee flushes.

Seems to make perfect sense to me.

And what is that?

In calif in the early 80's, I heard this:

If its brown, flush it DOWN;

if its yellow, let it mellow.

Now, this question:

Using your (or equivalently the above) suggestion, I recall that some kind of smelly urine-slime would accumulate (under the water) on the sides of the bowl.

So you were always having to use the toilet-bowl brush.

Question:

That chemical soap-bar-like thing you hang in the tank, that turns the water blue -- does that eliminate the problem?

And, in general, what *do* that blue stuff do for you?

Thanks,

David

Mostly, it screws up the flush-mechanism.

In the last three years we have installed 5 Toto "Drake" ADA height 2 piece toilets, two in our home and 3 in rental units, replacing a variety of newer (less than 5 years old) units.

These were all locations were I had been plunging frequently, I've not had to plunge any of these bathrooms since - the difference is really quite remarkable.

Very true.

You want to shorten the life of every item in the tank, then use those blue things.

What flush mechanism? The only moving part is the flapper over the hole from tank to bowl. There are no moving part for the siphon that starts the flush once there is enough water in the bowl and there are no passages under 2" in diameter. Are you suggesting that there's a full inch of accumulation on all the walls of the water going from bowl to drain? Are you proposing that tank filling water valve is somehow affected by stuff in the water, that that stuff somehow migrates past 90psi of water shooting past the valve?

[JimL]

yep.

[AZ Nomad]

Nope.
