I am applying for a water savings grant and am redoing all three bathrooms, but the first thing I did was install three toilets.
1.) Rona (Canada) Dual Flush Toilet. Rona is a big box store in Canada, a competitor to Home Depot and other. I believe this toilet is made by Foremost. It appears to have the same innards as the American Standard, but the bowl is different. The MaP score is 700+ iirc. It cleans and flushes very well. It was 249.00 Canadian and was a bargain as far as I am concerned. 4l/6L flushes. The toilet comes with a lid, wax ring, and all the screws and hardware. Bargain!
2.) Since they were sold out when it was time to install toilet #2, I went with a push button dual Flush from American Standard. It has a different jet and bowl setup and flushes good, but not as good as the Rona toilet. It has a smaller water spot, stains a little more. Still a good toilet, but I would rank it behind the Rona toilet. I needed to buy hardware, lid, wax ring, and the bowl and tank are separate boxes so they nickel and dimed the consumer a bit.
3.) The basement we went with a 6L American Standard Cadet III ADA, with flush right technology. I bought the slow close lid for extra $$ but the girls never close the lid, so that was a waste of money. It flushes stronger than the old Crane that was down there, and as far as I am concerned, the urban legend about 6L in the basement does not apply to these new toilets. I was going to go with a Champion, but it was 100 dollars more.
All in all, I am happy that the toilets have joined the rest of us in the new millennium. Those of you who are too cheap/lazy to change out your toilets should give these a try!
We can get a grant of 100 dollars per toilet for installing water saving toilets, so that was also a little incentive for us.
