We have an older,at least 10 years, two piece Briggs toilet though I don't know the model number. It has a tank model number 4965 if that helps with a 7470 lid. It is a 1.6gpf/6.0Lpf model.
We have been having issues lately which the plumber said may be due to the older construction since the pipes weren't designed for low flow toilets and the backup issues only seem worse since we switched to a front load washer. Is this is true or we are just being fed a line? For the most part we keep getting a sewer in the shower after a few minutes or so and about once a year we get a clog somewhere that the lines need snaking. They usually find a clump of hair which we are starting to think is from the new front load washer since none of us have long hair except the cats.
While working on one of the toilets in the house, the plumber broke one of the bolts on the tank causing the tank to dump all the water on the floor. They said they would cover the cost of replacing the tank but now we are wondering if we should just replace the toilet since they said they would also credit the tank cost towards a new toilet. Off and on I have looked at Toto toilets before but I don't know if I am just throwing money away or if it would truly help with the issues.
