Toto Aquia Toilet

I read some old info on these toilets, and the reviews on performance and installation difficulty were not in favor of the toilet. Our plumbing supply says they have a 6 month wait on them. What is up? Anyone?? I also had a plumbing supply person friend advise me to stay away from 1-piece toilets. Any wisdom on that as well?

Some people don't like new things...they actually have to read the instructions. An Aquia toilet takes a little more time to install than a "normal" one. It is not hard but it is different. The toilet works fine.

One piece toilets have fewer connections to leak, but, they are potentially heavier than a 2-piece (you could put the bowl of a 2-piece in place, then add the tank rather than having to lift the whole thing).

So, if you aren't used to lifting what can be a fairly heavy toilet, then a 2-piece may be easier.

A one-piece has fewer nooks and crannies, so it is easier to keep clean.

If you are a petite woman trying to install a one-piece, you probably would not find it particularly easy, if possible to lift it at all. You might have a chance with a one-piece. Otherwise, pick one you like that has good test results or pay someone to install it.

I think I have about 20 Aquia's on hand in the Seattle area.
It's a two-piece toilet that works very well.
Almost impossible to plug, fairly quiet, looks great.
They do take more time to install.

It has a small water spot in the bowl, but it's a washdown rinse, so things do get swept down.

A lot of my Aquia sales are repeat sales.
