We always had the worst toilets in our house. The one piece american standard would never flush good and often needed multiple flushes or a plunger if you laid a big one. It gave me nightmares. I always noticed that my neighbor never ever replaced their toilet and never had any problems with it. Out of curiosity, I looked at the brand name of their toilet and it was a Toto. I don't remember the model they had but since that time, there is a Toto Drake 1.6 in our house and from then on zero 0 problems. Toto toilets for the win.

I have the Kohler. I believe it's a 1.4g flush. It's a really good toilet, but the throat is really wide making hard to plunge in the rare case it gets plugged. Maybe there are oversized plungers. The ceramic is very slick, so the toilet stays clean.

I have 4 T0T0 Drakes, and plungers don't seal to them very well, either. I recently bought a Korky "Beehive" plunger, which claims to seal to the odd-shaped trap openings, but I have not had to use it yet. Edit: My mother has a Kohler Cimmaron, with the same flush mechanism in this video. Something about her water (chlorination?) swells the seal, and it starts leaking from the tank to the bowl, and it's hard to find the right part at a retail location when one is needed.

@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, wipes are likely to cause sewer backups further down the line and they have to be snaked out even when they pass the toilet. I've heard that Cottonelle figured out how to make one that doesn't get stuck but I'm not positive. As for the toilet, I've found that the new flushing mechanisms do more harm than good because they let out very little water, they break more easily, and they're expensive. My top pick is the Project Source toilets from Lowe's because they can take a lot before clogging, they have simple parts, and despite being the generic store brand toilet, they are good quality and use American made tank parts. Hope this helped.

TOTO Toilet. I have had 5 TOTO Toilets and have not had any issues with what they flush. I HAVE had issues with the construction and how they flush. 1 - TOTO’s inside tank flush mechanism is a round piston that goes down into a cylinder. The mechanism hangs up and does not seal at times. It does not matter how old your TOTO is - this can happen at any time. I have added a large lead EGG shaped fishing weight to the top of the piston to help assure it goes down. This has worked very well but not perfect. The inside tank flush mechanism is not the old “flapper” style. I do not know if the other brands current models use the old rubber stopper/flapper(inexpensive to repair) or not. I am only familiar with TOTO. 2 - The flush handle on the outside that is connected to the inside tank lift rod is an issue. They did not build the tank top to accommodate a proper swing of the interior lift arm. A hard push of the handle can result in the handle being stuck in the down position. This lets the water run until the handle position is corrected. As the homeowner I know how to flush so this does not happen, but the grand kids don’t, and the handle constantly hangs up after they flush. The flush mechanism should be kid proof. 3 - The bowl Interior surface or glaze lets debris stick to it unlike any other brand I have ever seen.
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations

That sounds very frustrating. It sounds like the handle you have may be installed incorrectly. Also you may want to see if you can clean debris from around the flush valve and that should solve it.

Sir, I just bought 2 toilets with the model name: “MS889DRT8”, the seller said it has tornado flushing technology but not sure it has Drake as your video
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations
@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations 3 күн бұрын
I looked up the model number and many of the results came up in Vietnamese. I don't know if they made the Drake and any other countries so I imagine it would be difficult to find one anywhere aside from the US.

Good to know that these toilets can suck down huge items like a dish towel so that instead of just getting stuck in the toilet they get stuck way down into your plumbing system where it's much more expensive

You shouldn't be flushing those things into the sewer system to begin with so I don't think that's really an issue.
