Admittedly I have not read every post on this site and other sites I have perused. There may be a discussion of this critical parameter somewhere but I have not found it. In my household, this parameter is far more critical than the size of the water spot which seems to be always spec-ed. Please forgive me. I'd appreciate a pointer.
I want to replace the 4 toilets that came with the house because every other day at least one plugs. I have been searching the web for toilet specifications. I can usually find all the specifications I need EXCEPT for one: the distance between the rim and the water spot level. Only Kohler seems to be spec-ing that parameter in the documents available on their web site. However, lots of people seem to have troubles with Kohler toilets so I am looking for alternatives. This site and others like Toto toilets. Great, but where can I find the water depth from the rim parameter. My husband would like it to be 6.5" or greater so that with the seat thickness, there will be more than a 7" clearance above the water spot.
I am considering the Drake EL, Drake II EL, Drake II EL ADA, Eco Drake EL, Eco Drake EL ADA, Entrada EL, Vespin II EL ADA. I have eliminated the Ultramax model from consideration because its MaP rating is only >= 500. Can you tell me where I could find this data? Can any of you with access to some of these models installed measure that distance? I have not been able to find all the models installed and connected to water; and estimating the elevation of the weir on a dry sample is at best imprecise if at all possible (in particular when the toilet is skirted).
I'd like all the toilets to be elongated, white, to have a MaP rating of 800 or better (i.e. not clog), a good wash of the bowl, leak resistant. Three need to be "comfort height" with 7" or so clearance below the seat. One needs to be standard height with 5.5 or 6" clearance below the seat (kids' use).
My plumber recommends a VitrA toilet. They all appear to have a high MaP rating. But I have no spec on them. Any experience with this brand?
Thanks for your comments and inputs.
