Cadet 3
This message is to alert individuals of my experience with the American Standard Cadet 3 toilet. We had 2 of these toilets installed less than a year ago (February of 2008)and had a problem with one leaking to the point that it causes the toilet to flush itself. The other one seems to have a faint hissing sound, which I think is also a problem. However, it wasn't making that sound when the plumber was here so he says there isn't a problem.
Actually, the plumber tried to tell me there was nothing wrong with either toilet, which just annoyed me tremendously because I told him the one downstairs is flushing itself and my water bill has increased as a result. This problem started about 9 months after installation but being busy with the holidays, we just called for the repair this month.
When I insisted that I wasn't going to accept that there was nothing wrong, he did a test with food coloring and then finally admitted that the flush valve is leaking -- but he didn't have the part in stock. I have now waited a week and the part still isn't in. To say I am not happy with this situation is probably a bit of an understatement.
So, buyer beware. I hope this won't be an ongoing problem with these toilets.
