As for the toilet, I want to buy a toilet without a water tank above, like 4th or 5th option from this url. And one more question for someone who has a toilet like one of those, are there any troubles with them? My old throne was easy to fix if it was leaking from time to time. Waiting for you response. |
My view- to quote you,"My old throne was easy to fix." In the old days, not that long ago, you had universal parts. They were effective and cheap. Today, you are led to buy a toilet made by xxxxxxx when it fails, they all do sooner or later you need to buy proprietary parts and hope the company still makes the part and you can find it or need to buy it mail order. Was not that long ago that ballcocks were made of brass. You could, though no one bothered to do it, take it apart, replace the rubber parts and use it for another 5-10 years. In our previous home, wife insisted on a new water saver toilet.
I insisted on keeping mine a 1950 classic. Mine used far more water but it never stuffed and one flush was fine. Hers used 1/3 less water, stuffed regularly so she would flush it 3-4 times water saving-none.
We have the Kohler, came with the house. It does use less water than my missed 1950
classic and honestly it works well. Buying a toilet is truly funny. Ask why this one is $50 and that one is $500 the reply is the color, the shape or is uses a pint less water. A collector item? A classic? Shoulda saved my 1950 classic.
