toto dual cyclone or emax flushing system
Comments (3)My parents have a Drake with the dual cyclone. I think it's a pretty slick concept and it works well. They also have an Ultramax, and we have an Ultimate and a G-Max Drake, too. Our Ultimate is the only one of the bunch I've had complaints about. It does its best when you flush and hold the lever down until the trap glugs as the last of the water goes out. If you aren't mindful and forget to do that, it clogs in a heartbeat. The only differentiator I could come up with (beyond the flush system) is that the low profile one-piece toilets just don't have as much water head in the tank as the taller Drakes....See MoreToto Flushing Systems
Comments (2)I had the same questions as I was planning to purchase toilets for our two bathroom remodels a few months ago. You'll get some answers if you read these past threads: G-Max or E-Max toilet flushing systems Okay, tell me about Toto toilets -- Eric...See MoreOpinions on Toto's Nexus &/or Eco UltraMax
Comments (1)Straight from my friend the TOTO distributor is the following answer: "The Nexus CST794SF in cotton white is $459.90(his price)the same flushing system as the Nexus, the GMAX. The 1.28 GPF should flush as well as the GMAX but if you are worried about things his kids might put in the toilet then I would go ahead and recommend the 1.6 GPF Ultramax. The model number for that toilet in the elongated bowl is MS854114S and the price is $400.40(again his price) in cotton white. The 1.28 GPF model is MS854114E and the cost is the same." Sounds like you need that 1.6 ultramax to me. As a father of 3 sons I can tell you the inevitability of the effort to flush the cat down the toilet is 100%....LOL Other questions contact my buddy Brian Here is a link that might be useful: National Builder Supply...See Morewhy are the toto toilets so loud during the flush
Comments (5)Is your sewer pipe plastic or cast iron? Plastic is definitely noisier - one of our friends has a $1.2M spec home in Old Lyme, CT, and the noise of the toilet (in either upstairs bathrm), an upscale American Std, can be heard in every single room both upstairs and downstairs. Some builders skimp on the insulation between floors and interior walls, too, which makes it worse. Sound then travels and echoes through the walls. I noticed that a friend's house, a standard tract development home, has a much noisier bathroom on the main floor than ours, where I know the walls were insulated. We have the Ultramax, and consider it very slightly noisier than the cheapo it replaced. But the fill is quicker, so overall we consider it quieter....See Morejacobse
