Tankless Toilet Question
Comments (1)The commercial type of toilets found in many older apartment buildings can be replaced with a more ordinary residential toilet and cistern, but it requires opening the wall behind the toilet and altering the arrangement of the water supply. There may also be issues with the position of the waste line which may be too close or too far from the wall for a typical cistern type of toilet. A good plumbing contractor could advise you on that. Also, some condo or co-op boards may not allow this type of alteration to the building's plumbing system. You'd have to check with yours to find out. That being said, unless your current toilet is seriously stained or somehow disfigured, I'd be inclined to keep what you have. Those old commercial toilets have a very powerful flush and are nearly clog-proof. While they're a bit noisy, they're very dependable.

You should consider getting a skirted model which hides the curlicues and is easier to clean....See MoreWood shelves above tankless smart toilets??
Comments (9)I really like my shelves. Installed properly they will look good. Need to be anchored properly. Into studs is best. Otherwise they can pull on the surface and enlarge the screw hole. Ours were doing that but hubs got a better anchor and all is fine now. Helps to be married to a carpenter. I have no idea what "proper installation" is but the installation needs to match the demands of the weight you will be putting on it . . . many options for floating shelves available. They can have good support braces but they are hidden inside the shelf. If you do floating, make sure they have an adequate lip. At least one inch....See MoreUser
