    Issue with Aquia flush

    The unflushed depth of the water in the tank is 7 1/4". Pushing either button lowers it by ~2 3/4". So no discernible difference. I suppose it's possible that the low flush is adjusted to the largest amount, if it can be as large as the large flush. But I haven't tried to measure the actual...

    Issue with Aquia flush

    I had three Aquias installed about 4 or 5 months ago. Overall I'm very happy with them. However, they all suffer from the same issue, namely that more often than not, pushing the number 2 flush button only flushes the same amount as the other button. Occasionally it will flush the whole tank...

    We ended up getting the Aquia and have been using it for several weeks now. So far it's handled everything that's gone into it, and we're very happy. In fact, we ordered two more for the other two bathrooms. Thanks everyone for all the good advice and information. -Jerry

    Gotta have the gurgle. I think it's looking pretty likely we'll get the Aquia for the hall bath. It's really a shame the Maris is only available in white. We'll test out the Aquia before making decisions on the other two toilets. Thanks everyone for all the great info - truly helpful. -Jerry

    This is good info, wjcandee, although now I'm less certain about the Aquia :) I get the impression from things I've read that the Drake and Ultramax have a pseudo-dual-flush - is this correct? That is, you can hold the flusher for a long or short amount of time, and thereby cause an increased...

    Thanks for the info. We're now leaning toward the Aquia 2-piece. Also, we realized since there's some lag time between doing the different bathrooms, we can get one Aquia and essentially "try before we buy" the other two toilets.

    The Eljer is late 2000s, but the Kohler and the Gerber came with the house, which we bought about 10 years ago.

    OK, the blue one is a Gerber and only says W4. The Eljer says 1410230, and the Kohler says K4620CA. Below the K number, it says 14 97 086. I guess that's easier than posting pictures. :)

    It turns out the Maris is unacceptable, since we need something available in biscuit, and the Maris only comes in white. So if we use Toto, it would have to be the Aquia.

    I guess there's a photo limit. Here are the other two pics of the Eljer.

    I have a Kohler, an Eljer, and something blue. The first two pictures are the Kohler, the next two are the blue one, and the last three are the Eljer (the worst of the bunch). I think they're all 1.6 gallon.

    Good question - I will post existing toilet info tonight once I get home.

    Terry: those large traps on the Caromas look great. I have to check with the wife if the splashiness and poor cleaning is a deal breaker. One question on these: do the Caromas use standardized parts inside, or is it all custom? How much of a worry is it having to find replacement parts...

    Advice appreciated on appropriate toilet

    I'm a homeowner and I'm having a bathroom remodel done right now and trying to figure out the right toilet to get. We have two main requirements: 1. Dual flush 2. Our 7 year old is disposed towards large, less soft poop, the sort which frequently requires plunging the existing toilet. So...
