Definitely related to the lack of being vented. Cameron Fields

I have heard very good things about the Kohler Cimarron; I plan on picking one up. Check out this video.

I voted; I think you should use it versus letting it sit. My family had a tri-level home; the foundation was lined with troughs routed to a sump pump. Anything that sits without use has the potential to cease working. In fact I am looking to build currently, and while the home will not be...

How do you determine if you're overheating it?

I know this is an old posting, but I read somewhere that lower flow toilets are causing problems in U.S. city sewer lines. Increased levels of sludge, and methane gases for lack of water to carry waste to a destination. Some cities I believe in California are introducing new processes to help...

Terry, My mistake that is what I meant for non large BM's. I was responding to my earlier post about the Vormax.

Hi Storm62, Glacier Bay is on the lower end of the fixture spectrum. Is it a rotary knob? Or handle? I note you stated handled I just wanted to double check. If it is a rotary knob the play in the valve isn't as readily detectable, and something like sediment might be caught in the valve. Or...

I second the idea of whole home filtration. If the water is that bad, you could extend the life of other appliances in the home with whole home filtration. Depending on water/sediment type they're a myriad of specialized filters available. Sincerely Cameron Fields

Hi Reach4, I think it could be the casing on the well I hadn't given it much thought. Thanks for the advice I am going to see about a TwistIIClean that should help out considerably. I hadn't conducted much research on filters; I will give that one a try. Thanks again. Sincerely Cameron Fields

Update: The Vormax while it hasn't clogged is not that great of a toilet. The flush does resemble a TOTO, but the dual flapper design is quite terrible it constantly snags and hangs up requiring human intervention. I am thinking of replacing my Vormax with a Cimarron. I have spent my share...

Hey Reach4, It is really dark red/brown completely covered and starting to bleed through on the inner side. It also has a fair amount of sediment at the bottom of the canister. Sincerely Cameron Fields

Hi Reach4, The filter I installed is just a whole home I installed it a year ago to prevent build up on washing machine intake it works well. This is the filter I use https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Whole-House-Replacement-Filters-2-Pack-FXWTC/100034332 I buy the same one at Walmart for $9.00...

Hi everyone, I recently installed a GE self-contained 30,000 grain water softener. I am on a well I tested my water “straight” and it came back with 6.43 Grains Per Gallon hard with .03 ppm of iron. I have a filter pre-softener I replace every two weeks. I am curious if anyone has experience...

Hi everyone, I am back it has been a while since posting I have some good news and some questions. As some of you know, I have been working on a new toilet concept for many years. I had been searching for a drafter to draw up my plans to submit a patent. I could not find anyone, so I ended...
