Well, the caveat that it has to be available at the big box stores really diminishes your options. First off, practically everyone on these boards will recommend you avoid pegasus and glacier bay....

keep in mind, you have to also include the water used to refill the bowl after the flush as part of adding up the 1.6 gallons.

My parents had one installed last year, and had it replaced a month or two later. It was a piece of garbage. Even with the 3 inch flush valve, it still clogged regularly. And thats not to mention...

If it used the entire tank of water, it would be using far more than 1.6 gallons; so that issue may be completely normal. Regarding the low water level in the bowl, make sure that the small tube from...

Unfortunately AO Smith isn't much of an improvement over Whirlpuke. If you go to any search engine and google "water heaters" you will find alot of comments regarding the good ones and the bad ones....

Listen to what Gary is saying. Those chlorine tablets are one of the worst possible things you can do to your toilet.

This is a frequently discussed topic on these boards. Pretty much all the Toto's are going to be like that. Just because it feels rough, does not mean it is not glazed. Supposedly, that roughness in...

My parents recently had a contractor supplied class 5 Kohler Wellworth installed in their master bath. It was one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever dealt with. The class 5 is notorious...

Dknight, how long ago did you change the gaskets? If it was just recently, I have found that the new gaskets may take a little bit of time to form a water tight seal. A few years back, I had a...

You need to give us more info regarding the symptoms. Such as does water rise in the bowl and just swirl around, or does nothing happen, period?.... What kind of toilet is it?.... etc. Your...

Not flossing regularly.

Ian,

Looking at the video, it doesn't seem like the chain has that much excessive slack. I have seen more slack in a lift chain, and it still will initiate a semi decent flush. And for a 3 inch...

Class 5 is just a marketing term developed by Kohler, for some of their toilets. It isn't a universal designation. All major toilet manufacturers will have their own version of Kohlers "class 5." It...

I would say do a comprehensive internet search, and see if you can find an online plumbing supply business that can provide what you need. If that doesn't work, call Jacuzzi, and see if they can come...

I tried using something similar to that, but I found a traditional plunger was much more effective.

For those that are interested, it looks like Toto has started up their own channel on youtube. They have only posted one video thus far, but Id like to think more will follow. They video they have...

Generally a fill valve will have zero effect on how much water a toilet flushes. The amount of water in each flush is mostly related to how quickly the flapper closes. Korky was absolutely right when...

To me, any pressure assist model is more trouble than its worth. Its loud, and the repairs are more complex and expensive. I say just go with a class 6 cimarron, and consider it an upgrade from a...

The class 6 is supposed to have better bowl wash than the class 5. It was obviously pretty pathetic, and it was a huge complaint about those models. in my opinion, the class 5/class 6 are the only...

Im obviously not Terry, but I just thought Id throw my two cents in. I have 3 Mansfield Mavericks in my home, and I absolutely love them. I haven't had a single clog in the 13 months that Ive lived...

My family has had issues with the Champion in the past, so I don't often defend it. But it sounds like your problem has to do with the incoming supply line, not the toilet. If the problem is with the...

Maybe try a new wax ring? It is possible that when you installed the toilet, the seal provided by the compressed wax ring was broken, allowing sewer gases to seap back into the bathroom from the...

Greetings from Martinez. I didn't expect to find a fellow Contra Costa resident on these boards lol.

Yep, looks like a Mansfield Claro, which is the low profile version of the Mansfield Alto. As...

Hmmm, Im not so sure about that 99k. He says the sound is made right after the tank finishes filling back up, not at the end of flush itself. To me it sounds more like an issue with the fill valve...

I dont think you will find many plumbers on this site that are big fans of water ridge fixtures. I think there is concern regarding the quality, as well as the ability to get replacement parts; but I...
