Stronger water flow from left rim is prolly due to that plastic tubing feeding that side with more water first. If the main inlet channel from tank was preserved I reckon we'd see a better and stronger performance. This design very closely resembles the Devoro. Any test results with that on a tank and FV...?
I tried angling the hose differently and it still flushed with an angle. The problem was, there was dirt in the rim that I didn't see and it didn't come out when I was poking at it with a coat hanger.
A True Antique! This toilet performs excellently (on the bulk items) despite the weak flush - the flush is great in itself though if it had more power. Shame about the dirt test failing but cannot blame the toilet as not on original set-up and the front right hand side rim jets are look like they are clogged. A gem which is worth keeping (even if it is not used anymore), despite the damage unless another one did appear in better condition maybe!
Flush: A Washcloth: A+ Grocery Bag: A+ Washcloth & Grocery Bag: C+ Dish Towel: A+ Clogged Siphon: F Dirt: D Grade: B (2.89) Final Result And Decision: *B+* (It sucks to see this toilet go but yeah this toilet is unfixable by how much damage it has been through, it had a good life and it can reach the toilet gods in heaven and not feel pain anymore. Although, the damage is pretty severe this toilet did pretty good.
Wow I really wish I could have one of these. Such a fantastic toilet and a great flush.
Hopefully I can find one that isn't broken someday. Or something of equal awesomeness.
I feel like you've made the makers of that toilet very proud. Incidentally, it's 15 years older than Jimmy Carter. ❤
Imagine if they could see it now. They'd be impressed at lasted as long as it did.
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations They most certainly would.
you can keep it i believe in you
Unfortunately it wasn't salvageable but I did get some good videos out of it.
This was from a short a few weeks before this
I filmed a Short of it first.
Is that locally Houston made potty?
This thing is still amazing when it comes to performance and trapway sizing...
I imagine that it was made locally in Houston.
What an amazing toilet. It’s such a shame that it can’t be saved.
Yeah, at least it got to flush though.

That did great! Honestly this reminds me of my Tomlinson Virginia toilet.
Awesome. I wonder if they were made by the same porcelain company.

For a toilet with a flush this weak, it did very well. I can only imagine how it would have done when it was new.
Flush rating: A
Performance rating: A
I love it.
Let’s see if you can unclog your debt starting by selling all of your toilets
great toilet
Agreed. I can only imagine how great it would have been when it was new.
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations it probably would have flushed like a standard devoro
