I have a '96 Gerber thats original to my powder room, home was built in '96. I don't know what the model is, inside the tank it's stamped 28790 and 1.6 i'm assuming it's a 1.6 gallon. In any case it performs very poorly, requiring 2-3 flushes, if you don't flush incrementally and try to flush once after business is done it will clog. I will replace with a Toto after x-mass recovery occurs. Inside the tank (new fluidmaster fill valve and flapper) there is a large plastic cylinder that surrounds the overflow tube. Is this cylinder how they made it a 1.6 gal flush? If I were to take a snips and cut a deep v notch maybe 4-5 inches deep down from the top of this cylinder would this allow more of the tanks water to reach the flush valve affording me a more powerful flush? Also, the water spot seems entirely to small. I need to get a few more months out of this thing.
Thanks,
Jeff
