what is the best flushing commode for home use?

Question

searching for a replacement commode that will really flush

Answer 1

Dadcat has a good idea (as always). But I have also removed air-toilets for clients who hate them (they're noisy and hard to work on for the average Harry and Harriet Homeowner); I also have removed almost every Briggs toilet I've ever come across and replaced it with a Toto unit. With a lot of jurisdictions requiring the lo-flo 1.6 gallons-per-flush toilets, clogs are becoming more common. For that reason, I always keep the lid down, preventing odd items from falling into the toilet. When flushing, I like to hold the handle down to get as much water out of the tank as possible. Don't throw Q-tips, tampons, paper towels, sani-pads, Kotex, etc. etc. etc., in the toilet bowl. If you wind with "a bowlful" some time, I find that a big potful of hot (not boiling) water poured straight in often helps to flush the bowl completely. There's also a 'closet auger' for helping to break up a clog, should the hot water not work. No toilet is perfect, and user's habits are a factor, as well, in a toilet's efficacy.

Flushing Commode

Answer 3

Depends on how much you want to spend. If you are in the 4 to $500 range, go Toto. I have a American Standard Cadet that I never have problems with. 2-3/8" outlet, Fluidmaster 400A fill-valve. $100. If you need to flush 16 golf balls, you need a doctor, not a Plumber. You will also call a plumber anytime you have problems with an Assisted Flush toilet.

Answer 4

I recently installed 2 Niaga low volume toilets in my house. They don't store the water in the tank so there is no flushing. The water is in a tray and is dumped into the tank when you flush, this gives it more flushing power with less water. $100 each at Home Depot.

Answer 5

the kohler power assist is nice.......not hard to work on...only a few parts that actually ever go bad....easy to replace and fast too......but on the other hand toto g-max has the larger flush valve lettign more water go thru at a time therefore making if flush more thorough so either of those choices would probably make u happy.....the toto however is going to be ALOT!!!!! cheaper

Answer 6

Pressure Assisted - Pressure LiteTM
KOHLER® Pressure Lite toilets feature robust flushing power due to their Pressure Assist technology, which employs compressed air within the reservoir to propel water to the rim and siphon jet. The result is exceptional performance each time the side-mounted trip lever is actuated.

Answer 7

appears like the flapper valve, positioned in the tank, has failed. it is going to reason your water to run consistently. i've got under no circumstances experienced it inducing a flush. If it did, then the valve is working nicely sufficient to fill the tank, and then leaks without notice and profusely. extra desirable call a plumber.

Answer 8

Any common 1.6 gpf toilet can be easily converted to a real flusher. Just install a float which fills the can higher and voila, it will empty even the largest fills. (The same thing can be accomplished by holding down the lever on most newer water closets)

Answer 9

Of all the ones to install today, there are two! Toto Drake and Eljer. they work very well and they are easy to put together and intstall. I only sell these stools to my customers and NEVER get a complaint or a call back!
