Here we go... Best Toilet?

[volsboy1]

I have never smelled any Methane or sewer gases coming from either the one on our farm which is on a septic tank or

the house here that is on city sewer.I still prefer the old types that used water though. We have a old  Toilet that 

has the hole backwards than what you normally see and it works great but, would when it uses 10 gallons a flush.

I have only seen one other to look  like that one that is up there at the farm with that backwards hole ever.I don't know who

made it though but I know its over 40 years old but they work great. Sorry about my link, You tube is been on the fritz

for me.

Don't know if you can do this with newer models but on our one piece Kohler model I adjusted to float higher than the factory setting to get some extra water on the flush, rarely clogs unless one goes overboard with the TP.

We bought it to help with our septic system 10 years ago, now with sanitary sewers I wish we kept the Pink American Standard one piece it replaced. That had to be a collectors item, if people collect such things...

Raiph,

I use Comet or LCB or just a swish of Dawn dishwashing detergent!
Nothing special to keep the bowl clean.
Any desinfecting wipes to keep the lip piss free. (Wiping corners of mouth, a true lady that I am)
BTW, throw those things in the garbage can to keep the pipes from clogging in route....
LOL

On my first visit to the USA I noticed that American toilet paper is wider than European. I mentioned this to a member here. His response: That is because we have bigger assholes to wipe! lol!

Guys as funny and silly as both those posts were and I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but in the public forums using language like that is against the rules as it's bad for the site in many ways.

Now if this thread was in ATT or Dirty Laundry it would be totally fine, but anything public needs to be kid-safe.

Thanks!

Sorry! Sometimes I forget I'm on an American forum.

Considered the TOTO

But there were quite a few negative complaints about them and difficulty in locating the actual units was a deal breaker.

Newer Dual-Flushes

Some of the ones I've seen are annoyance traps. Why? Well, you push the "Full Flush" button and you EXPECT the toilet can flush by itself. But NO! It needs "assistance" and you have to STAND THERE and HOLD the button down (Yuck!) until the toilet is flushed. The same with "Half Flush" (Or 3/4 Flush, really). 

 

I prefer the OLDER Dual-Flushes for this, who will actually FLUSH by THEMSELVES when you push the button, no intervention required. If you ever meet me and my face is purple, you'll know why (lol).

Can't imagine any negatives on the Toto, love mine.  While not a stock item around here I simply ordered it from the supply house and had it in a matter of days.

@aldspinboy

Front wash, rear wash, oscilating, pulsating, dryer?!?!

Is it a toilet of a washing machine? LOL

Luckily it doesn´t have a twist and spin cycle.... ouch!

Let me guess, the other three buttons are pots and pans, rinse and hold and whitest whites?

 

[foraloysius]

Some toilets even have a remote control!

Consumer Reports rated toilets in an issue last year. Interestingly, they found the single flush toilets rated generally higher than the dual flush ones. And Kohler didn't fare that well, nor did A/S.

Over this past winter I replaced the stylish vintage A/S Carlyle low-boy (about 1964) in the master bath with a Water Ridge one-piece dual flush from Costco. I've been pleased with the WR. It uses 1.1/1.6 gal, you don't have to hold the buttons down, and flushes as well if not better than the vintage A/S did. And uses a lot less water in the process. I'm probably going to replace the pink no-name 1941 era commode in the original bathroom with another one-piece WR. I've put it off a bit because it will probably require a new shutoff valve at the wall. But since the pink one no longer flushes properly (you have to hold the lever down, and then it takes a while to decide to start refilling the tank afterward), it's probably no more difficult to replace the entire toilet rather than put in new valving.
