    Toto Cotton White or Colonial White?

    What is the difference between these whites? Will be set against a glossy subway tile wall.

    Yeah--I know there aren't many great acrylic tubs out there--I don't know if they have room for the Mariposa. Hmm. Maybe the Toto, if we can find it. Isn't the Dynametric built with a raised...
  3. Location of shower arm from mixer valve--can it have a dog leg?

    Hi--I'm helping my parents remodel a bath, and they like the tub spout w/diverter and control on the long wall of the tub (in the middle) and the shower head on the short end above the drain...
  4. Looking for a quality 66" x 32" tub to replace an old cast iron job. Ideas?

    I know Toto makes a C.I. tub in this size--but it seems that most are fiber glass now. Advice on a good plastic model?
  5. I'm looking for higher seat with round front. 1-piece is nicer.

    Doesn't have to be ADA height, but wondering what is out there. I love my Toto Ultramaxes, but this stool will be for my 80 y.o. parents, and I was wondering if there is anything out there I should...

    I've plunged my Ultramax once. That was extreme use by my father. It can handle almost anything "man-made." Buy a nice Toto, throw away the plunger, buy a brush.
  7. Toto 1.6 gpf vs. 1.28 gpf? Double Cyclone vs. G-Max?

    I have an Ultramax 1.6 that works great. Any insight on how the new 1.28 toilets work? How about Double Cyclone?

    Thanks--I was pretty set on another Ultramax sanagloss, but the local supply house doesn't even stock them anymore. I don't need/want the ADA height thing, as everyone in my family is tiny.

    OK--since I am starting with all new plumbing now, these two toilets have caught my eye. I have an Ultramax in the house, love it, etc... What is up with the Ultramax II? Is this the dual cyclone...

    OK--we are going to replace the lead pipes and tear up the floor. So--how far away from center should I move the supply line? It will still be coming out of the floor, as this is an outside wall in...
  12. Toilet water supply coming up from floor--can Carlyle fit?

    I have about 7" from center--will I have room? I realize the nice little silver thing that covers the ugly gole in the floor wont fit well, but I might be able to live with that.

    I'm pretty tall

    I'll have to measure, but I'm not sure I can give up a whole foot. I'm 6'3", which is a shorty in my family.

    Are you sure you want Bamboo?

    It is fun and has a neat look and is very durable, but some customers are not happy with the long term looks.
  21. Wow--the pics are spot on!

    Nice addition with the pics. The water supply is on the floor--about 6" left I think. How hard is it to install one of these myself? Tile floor. I have a decent drill--need special bits/anchors? ...
  22. What and where?

    What type of valve is recommended? People like me treat these valves as generic devices, yet is seems some are preferred by those in the field.

    Ultramax seems to be running quietly

    My 1.5 year old Ultramax has started running a bit--I never notice it in the bowl, only in the tank. I'm not sure of the terminology, but the small water tube is running in the standpipe. What do I...
