Toilet Splash on Elongated Bowl

Quigley · Dec 9, 2007

My wife is complaining that the cheap Glacier Bay toilets that our builder installed have an elongated bowl that is not deep enough in the front. This causes an uncomfortable splash in the front whenever she urinates. Is there anything on typical spec sheets that indicate the drop of the front part of the bowl? Has this ever been brought up as an issue?

Terry, do you know of any elongated toilets that you recommend that have a larger drop in the front of the bowl? Thx in advance.

Is she sitting far enough back?

I don't hear that about the product I mainly sell.
Just another reason why I sell more Toto as repeat sales.

I have the Dartmouth and there is zero splash. The Drake is a similar toilet so I'm confident it would serve you well. My personal opinion is that any of the Toto's would not have the problem, but I have no experience with them. Your problem is a perfect example of why there is so much negative comments about the Big Box Stores and their products.

As was mentioned previously, check seating position first. If she is used to a round front, she is probably sitting too far forward. The problem may be a combination of both seating position and bowl shape and a change in seating position may improve the situation. I would not expect this to be a problem with elongated bowls in general.

She's sitting back

That's the first thing I asked her. She says she's sitting as far back as possible. She's 140lb at 5'8" so her size is not an issue. We've had elongated toilets at our previous two houses. She's had no problems with those in the last 12 years. It's just this particular brand in our new house.

I went ahead and ordered a Toto Drake (Part #: CST744SG#01). We'll see if that takes care of it.

No problem with Ultramax

I can report that I've never had a spash problem with the Toto Ultramax with the elongated bowl.

...I've never experienced the "splash" on any toilet I've used... sounds pretty nasty.

I hate the toilets you find at stores/restaurants with the sensors that flush automatically. Seems you have to retain an upright pose otherwise you get a douche.

Glacier Bay toilets make a great sound at the end of the high arc from the truck to the dumpster!

The customers usually really like their new Toto Drake!
