In our former house I replaced 3 old American Standard toilets with Drake toilets, two ADA height and one standard. We were extremely pleased with their performance. We've just moved and I've replaced flappers and fill valves in 2 toilets, 1 seems to be OK, and 1 has an odd problem that may be causing flushing issues. If it is left for a while, the water level in the bowl drops. I'm not sure if that's what causes the flushing problem, but unless someone has a great idea about how to fix it, I've decided to replace it.
My only complaint with the Drakes is that the wash down is not great - not terrible but not great. The Drake II seems as if it might be better in that department, but I'm not so sure about CEFIONTECT. We have hard enough water that I expect to have to deal with a ring at the water line. On the old Drakes I'd just go at it with a pumice stone for a couple of minutes every few months and it looked like new. I've seen lots of threads about cleaning CEFIONTECT, and I know that the pumice stone isn't an option. As I said in the Title - has anyone successfully removed hard water stains from CEFIONTECT? If so, I'd go with the Drake II, otherwise I think I'll play it safe and go with the Drake without the CEFIONTECT finish.
