Toto Aquia wall-mount toilets - 20 weeks backordered

10 years ago

Well, silly me, I was thinking 2 or 3 weeks. I'm in process of calling around but I don't have much hope.
Either I delay remodel by 20 weeks, or I find a Toto aquia wall mount on the shelf somewhere or I buy a Duravit wall mount. Given the unpleasant things I read about Duravit in reviews on Amazon, I was all set to go for Toto without a doubt. Guess I'm not the only one.
If anyone has a tip on where I might find a Toto wall-mount sooner, I'd love to hear it.
I've so far called Qualitybath.com and plumberssurplus.com. In process of calling local right now. I am SO disappointed. Maybe it's a sign I should pick Duravit??

Where did you hear they are 20 wks backordered? (did you try weselltoto.com or build.com or national builder supply or, maybe terrylove?...)

Actually, amazon lists it as instock.

Here is a link that might be useful: amazon search with Instock

Tankless/wall-mounted toilet?
Q
Comments (14)
We decided to install wall mounted toilets and wall mounted cabinets in our house renovation. We wanted everything off the floor for easy cleaning and to give the bathrooms a larger feel. We installed Duravit toilets with Geberit carriers in the wall. We hired a plumber to rough in the plumbing ie install the Geberit. He had never done one before but I went over the instructions in the box with him as he was installing it and he had no problems. After we drywalled and painted ourselves I installed the Duravit toilets myself. It is really easy because the Geberit connections to the toilet are all done by rubber seals and bolts. No gluing required. I just had to measure and cut the connecting pipes to the correct length for the wall thickness and then tighten the nuts and blots that attach the toilet to the Geberit. In terms of the toilet itself, it works great. No problems with low flushing. In fact, these toilets seem to work better than the floor mounted. All our previous toilets in several different homes seemed to block easily, but these wall mounted have never blocked on us.

I bought a Toto Eco Flush CST784EF for our master bathroom and it is terrible. You need to have a toilet brush scrubber by you each time you use the bathroom because there is not enough water or pressure to clean the toilet. And, it was $600. The biggest waste of money I ever spent. Go with American Standard. We bought one of those for our powder room and it is amazing for 2/3 rds of the cost.

Okay, tell me about Toto toilets

alex9179: "We're absolutely getting an advanced seat (used washlet term like Kleenex). I haven't decided which brand. "I really like the idea of stainless wands and the silver oxide sanitizing feature of the Coway and Brondell, as well as their lower profile. I live in the very humid south, so any extra anti-germ feature for a toilet is great." You may be over-thinking. We spend a lot of time in Japan (relatives), where we have used Washlets and Inax advanced toilet seats many, many times; and the humidity (and summer heat) in much of Japan is at least as great as it is in the American South. Toto and Inax have been selling advanced toilet seats there for more than three decades, and I have never seen or heard of any problem that stainless steel wands or sanitized wands could solve. In modern models of advanced toilet seats, each wand is automatically flushed with water before and after each and every use . . . and the amount of splash-back during use is minuscule: the wands are located several inches below and away from the surface toward which the spray is directed. Two more important features than the ones that you mention are: (1) one-wand vs. two-wand designs; the two-wand (separate wands for posterior and feminine) is more efficient at cleaning (because of optimized angle of spray for each function); and -- relating to your earlier concern -- the posterior wand is not exposed to any splash-back when the feminine function is activated, and vice versa. (2) Possible maintenance. Toto and Lixil (parent of Inax) are GIANT international corporations, with major commitments to the American market (Lixil bought American Standard last year); and each subcontracts with American suppliers for subcomponents. With large warehouses and American suppliers, you are not likely to have parts unavailability problems with either Toto or Inax. Moreover, I suspect that a sanitizing mechanism will require a reservoir of a sanitizing fluid, and where do you go to purchase a refill? "Inax is known for longevity but is more expensive..." The site you are using for comparisons lists only the luxury L series (Luscence) model Inax toilet seats; the Inax C series (Clessence) seats (which have an integrated "armrest" control rather thn a "remote" control) are several hundred dollars less expensive, and (other than the "remote" control) are functionally the same as the L series. And -- honestly now -- how far are you planning to stray from the toilet seat: do you really need a remote control that allows you to operate a toilet seat in the bathroom from the comfort of your living room?

Cost to convert to a wall mount toilet?
Q
Comments (14)
Thanks, raehelen. I never thought about toilet space before so it's nice to know you don't have any problems with that distance. I'm starting to like the idea of a wall mounted toilet though. I like how they look, and hate cleaning around the toilet. The way my bathroom is configured, the toilet back is against a 6" thick wall. On the other side of the wall is a closet with a sliding door. So if repairs are ever needed, the plumber can access it through the closet. I'll have some soundproofing covers built that can lift right off. And it's all hidden behind the door. I guess it wasn't clear that I'm referring to the distance from the front of the toilet to the side of the tub. I'm attaching the floor plan.

everyone of these models (except one and when I followed that link on Amazon - it was PEX after all) - I'm seeing has the "#1" or "-01" listed which is for Pex supply lines.
Ours will be copper. That should show "-02". Already looked on Terry Love's site in the "shopping" but didn't post in the forum. There are a jillion places to look on the web. In the meantime, I found out that Duravit is cheaper than Toto in many cases. Especially Durvan's new sensowash bidet seat is cheaper than Toto's washlet. This shopping whether on line or in the local stores is a LOT OF WORK!
I'll let you guys know what I find out. The Qualitybath.com folks talked to Toto who they make direct orders from (they are an authorized dealer) and they said the problem was with the Sanagloss. Now I'm wondering if the problem is with their copper supply. I can only speculate.
But any of you who plan to purchase a TOTO fixture, I would think you should put that at the top of your priority list to order. Things could get worse.

Toto sells the toilet bowls and tanks seperate, so there are model numbers for each half, plus one for the two pieces together. Try searching by product number. Amazon lists the copper pipe tank as in stock, I bet other places have it too.

CTW seems to denote both pieces sold together, use these (from Toto site) on the spec sheet to look.

CT418FG#01 - with Sanagloss
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ CT418F#01 - without SanaGloss
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ SS204 SoftCloseÃÂ® seat (sold separately)
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ SS114 SoftCloseÃÂ® seat (sold separately)
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ SC134 commercial seat (sold separately)
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ SC534 commercial seat (sold separately)
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ WT151M In-wall tank system (pex pipe) (sold separately)
Ã¢ÂÂ¢ WT152M In-wall tank system (copper pipe) (sold separately)

I just ordered 3 of these from Amazon (in-wall unit, toilet, toilet lid, and flusher thing). They were all in-stock and arrived quickly.

Interesting that 01 in the aquia is for pipe type. In the Drakes, etc, it was for the color I think.

I thought for all the Totos the two digit code at the end is for the color - 01 is cotton white, there is no 02 color.

I already own one of these. This would have been my second one. Trust me, - 2 means copper. (though I'm sure in another context - it could be color...)

My local guy can get his hands on the Aquia bowl - not the tank. He wants to use the Geberit in wall tank instead of the Toto. I know that can be done - but not sure how the Toto washlet works with the Geberit. The "water supply" on the Toto tank is a "washlet option". Still investigating.

I also would like if possible to go with an authorized dealer which Amazon is not. I may go back to Qualitybath.com and see if they can get the Toto tank by itself.

Thanks for all the input, everyone. I think there is a good chance I can get something close to what i want a lot sooner than 20 weeks.

I found several sites where "backordered" was indicated but... I found on Homeclick.com where they say they are shipping:

WT152M01
Here

Think I'm going to order it tonight. A little worried that they may have made a mistake and I get stuck trying to cancel. Haven't dealt with them in a long time. They are an "authorized" dealer for Toto and have read good reviews. Hmmmm - need to think about this.

I can vouch for the Geberit bowl working very well, the only in-wall commode I've seen installed

elphaba, what did you end up doing? did you go with the geberit carrier instead? i'm ordering the same toilet as you, but i ordered the geberit carrier instead of the toto carrier. did you find geberit having 2 different specifications for copper vs. PEX? the geberit carriers i've seen don't specify.

I found a Toto carrier on Homeclick.com - it was delivered quickly - less than a week. Homeclick is an authorized dealer for Toto so all is good. Had to buy the toilet bowl separate which meant it was a little pricer but not a whole lot to pay for 20 week expedited delivery.

I would have gone with geberit brand except we are having a Toto Washlet installed too and I felt more comfortable with connecting Toto to Toto. It wasn't obvious to me how to do a spigot on the Geberit (or whether it would be on the left side which is where I wanted it). I'm sure it would have been fine since Geberit has been around a LONG time but we had already done a Toto carrier so wanted to go with what we were familiar with - don't like surprises if we can help it.
