Hi !
Previously, I replaced an ancient malfunctioning toilet with a Toto Drake using existing information on this site, which worked fine (many thanks).
Now, I have moved to a different house with two bathrooms, each with the same relatively new looking Gerber toilets.
Prior to my purchase, the house had been unoccupied for 6-12 months.
The two toilets (which have conventional fill valves and flappers) work fine, except on rare occasions when presented with a larger BM (no paper), at which point it overflows.
I checked on various sides of the toilets, but cannot find any identifying marks other than Gerber.
Is there some way to identify the specific model, which would then help in determining whether it is just a poorly designed model, and would also help in getting specific advice ?
Thanks !
PS I'm sure some will suggest "just replace them with Toto Drakes" which sounds fine in an ideal world, but money is an issue, as I am sure everyone can understand...
