Hello,
At our old house in Virginia Beach, I had installed a Crane Economizer that had a Flushmate pressure vessel. It always worked great and it never clogged. The only problem with it was the duckbill valve wearing out and needing replaced about once a year.
In our new house outside of Chicago, we have the original 1995 toilets which no longer flush very well because of hard water deposits. They're low-flow units and I suspect that they never did well even when new. I've been looking at the new Crane Economizers at a local home improvement store, but the new versions have PF/2 pressure vessels. How do the PF/2 compare to the FM? I'd like to go elongated bowl, but they only carry them in round.
We have set a budget of $200 or less per toilet and I need three of them. Because of previous experience with the Economizer, I'm sold on pressure assist. However, after reading reviews, the Toto Drake looks to be a good choice too. I have found them online for under $200, but shipping costs drive the prices up considerably. The sites that advertise "free shipping" are $275+ per.
Any suggestions for other toilets to look at would be appreciated too.
