I am building a new house and will be installing 3 new toilets in the next few weeks. I am only interested in Dual Flush toilets.
I looked at the sterling and discounted it based on the MaP rating.
Right now the two that I am seriously considering are the Toto Aquia and the Mansfield EcoQuantum, both dual flush designs.
The Toto is a Washdown design while the Mansfield is siphon with a pressure tank.
Caroma dual flush, Like many dual flush toilets, there isn't much water in the bowl.
I think I really want to go with the Toto, but the cost is substantially higher, also the small water spot worries me. I have used a Caroma before and found the water spot to be way too small that it did not completely cover the waste, plus it was such a long way down that there was quite a bit of splash factor.
Another factor is that I am on a well, and I know very little about the FlushMate system and how much water pressure it needs to affectively build up the pressure in the tank.
I guess my questions are:
1. Is there anyone out there that is familiar with both and can give me their impressions.
2. Is the water spot on the Aquia better than on the Caromas? Should I even be worried about this?
3. I thought the washdown systems needed a big Trap diameter, and I see the Aquia's trap is only 2 1/8. Should I worry about this?
Thanks for your feedback in advance.
