    My Drake's flush tower has been trouble since the beginning. First, it would hang on the way down 1 - 10 times. I fixed that by filing down the inner ridges along the guide legs. It still leaks water past the gasket - enough that after filling, then turning off the supply, the tank will be empty overnight. Flappers have worked just fine for decades. Flush towers are an engineering solution to a non-problem. No more flush towers for me.

    I understand from plumbers the low flow toilets 10 to clog the line to the city drain

    Recently purchased Toto Aquia IV Cube and Aquia IV Arc Toilets. Both are new Aquia toilets that have left lever with dual flushing. In my opinion Newer Aquia IV models are better than Drake II models.

      I've read just now on the Home depot website people complain that the design of the Aquia IV 1-pc is such that the poop would fall on the dry part of the bowl (without water) and the flush wouldn't clean it, then you have to clean it with a brush 👎

    Is the new flapper on the 1.0 version worth purchasing over the 1.28 version? Trying to get the most bang for my buck.

      I’ve had both the 1.28 Drake II and the 1.0 Drake II. Could not tell the difference.

    Which wall mounted toilet would you recommend for a new home? Thanks

  • @stevewise1656
    @stevewise1656 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We have older Toto toilets that I want to replace. I prefer Toto one piece, skirted, with 12 inch rough-in. Which model(a) might you recommend? I’m considering the AQUIA IV. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dave, I am looking to replace a toilet with 12in rough-in. I am interested in getting a skirted toilet with good flush power. This video suggests the Toto Drake II is one you recommend. Can you recommend skirted toilet that has good flush power?

  • @stevewise1656
    @stevewise1656 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m looking to replace my older two piece Toto with a one piece, skirted, 12 inch rough-in. Our home is upscale and want a more upscale and cleaner look. Does the AQUIA IV dual flush make sense? If you’d recommend another model, by all means do so. Thank you in advance.

    would like to replace current toilet with a Toto 1.28 gpf one piece tornado flush and cifiontect elongated front bowl ADA compliant now and add later a toto washlet when I add electrical outlet. Stopped in an appliance store for a different item but asked about my plan. He said I have to pick a toto model which is washlet ready. He printed out MS856124CEMG UltraMax one piece. I tried to do a "washlet ready" search for other TOTO models, no result. Please comment. I hadn't thought about toilets since we were required to install water conserving toilet until a month ago. Found your website and have learned an emormous amount. thanks Gene Dong

    Hi, any recommendation on a backoutlet toilet? I want to replace an old american standard Yorkville. Is not a wall hung, it looks like a standard toilets but flushes to the back

    Ok so i bought a kohler 360 Cimarron 1.28 from home depot. Its terrible. Clogs. Stuff sticks to the bottom. 360 flush misses between 12 and 3. Seat is uncomfortable.
    Thinking of getting the toto drake CST744SL01.
    Any issue with sticking or clogging with this model?
    I want to stay away from a vortex flush. Although totos has two openings so it shouldnt miss.

      I have a Kohler Santa Rosa (1.28) and it sucks. Always have to double or triple flush to clean the bowl. I like my 1.28 Toto Ultramax, but I need a third toilet and will be getting a 1.6 gpf.

    Hi thanks for all your videos. I left this comment on a video that was a couple years old so I want to ask it here too. Plus I added a question at the end.
    Hi I have something called multiple chemical sensitivities disorder where I react to chemicals and I am noticing that all brands of toilets are putting anti microbial coating in their toilets and I am trying to find one without that added toxicity. I noticed some Toto toilets don’t have this but I do notice that ALL Toto toilets have a California 65 warning that the toilet contains lead and other materials that can cause cancer and birth defects. This makes me nervous. No other brands has the California 65 warning except Toto and I would like to know what is it about Toto toilets that makes them have to list that warning? I called Toto several times and got transferred around for 2 hours always getting conflicting answers. Some saying yes there are cancerous chemicals in it but you are fine if you don’t expose your skin. But you have to sit on the thing....and it’s not just the toilet SEAT I’m talking about because it’s listed for all the toilets that don’t even include the seat. With my compromised health I want to make sure I am getting a safe toilet and shouldn’t have to pick between two poisons, the anti microbial coating or cancerous issues. Thank you so much for your response.
    Also I notice some things you said regarding low flush toilets not flushing well with cast iron flanges. I’m replacing a 30 year old Eljer and it does have a cast iron flange so should I be getting a 1.6 flush toilet? I had found a Koehler Cimeron that didn’t have anti microbial coating at Lowe’s but the plumber said the tank to toilet gasket was horribly made and would not fit at all. He told me to return it as it was also overpriced. And to never buy from Lowe’s. So I’m trying to find one that is safe fast as this is our only bathroom in the house. Is Toto really the best? I’m looking for tall and elongated with a 12 “ rough in. Thank you. I know this was long. I’ve been researching for weeks and I’m exhausted.

    Hey Dave, I have an old low flush Kohler toilet that sits practically on the ground from my grandma's old house. I want a high seat toilet with a great flush. Can you recommend one? You seem to like the toto's. Every toilet I review videos from seem to get bad reviews. Thanks

    Does a drake II @ 1.28gpf have more flush power than a drake @ 1.6gpf?

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As someone who has owned both I would say flushing power is about the same but the Drake II flushes cleaner.

    Considering a Drake II but have been a bit scared off by comments about the bowl being so shallow that it is problematic for men. What's the deal with these comments? Is it specific to bowl shape maybe?

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose that depends a little bit on the, uh, biology of the situation. However as long as you stick with the elongated version most men report back that they’re quite comfortable.

    Dont installa 2021 toilet in a 40 year old pipe system. Chances are its PVC or cast iron and requires a 3 gpf toilet.
