Last night at a family gathering, the guys were talking about house projects & this came up, which I never heard. Someone said the flushing technology is different between a round bowl & elongated bowl. The round design swirls the water around the bowl & then waste is flushed, whereas an enlongated bowl just dumps the waste. Since I just replaced a 30 yr old round bowl toilet with an elongated bowl Toto, the flushing of both was as described. Howerver, I thought the diffence was attributable to either the high water usage of an old toilet versus modern technology of a low water usage toilet, OR different technology by different manufacturers. If what I was told was correct, it seems a round bowl would have a better cleaning action during a flush. Comments?
BTW, I would like to thank this form for all the help I got in remodeling my bathroom. It turned out better than I deserved. Help was universal, from tub installation, drain fitting questions, shower valve installation, humidity barriers behind cement board, etc, etc. I also liked & followed the recommendation for a Toto Drake toilet. Nice piece. My next bathroom to remodel should take significantly less time than the first. Thanks again, all.
