    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    In retrospect about buying a toilet...make sure parts are readily available or match other existing parts from other manufacturers. I still like the Delta Corrente design better than the Delta Turner. It just seems thicker / more heavy duty and prefer the flush better. Hopefully I won't have...

    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    Well the Delta Corrente toilet started leaking. It appears to just be the flapper. I removed the flapper seal and traced it to head to home depot to find a matching seal, but while putting it back on the ABS plastic of the flapper had become so brittle the locking notches broke off. :eek: I...

    Best Toilet available from Home Depot or Lowe's?

    I'm not a plumber and don't install toilets on a regular basis, but just talking to shoppers in home depot a lot of them don't seem to be happy with the Kohler toilets. I did replace the gasket on a fairly new Kohler for the Aqua Piston and I thought I was going to brake it getting it off so I...

    Delta toilets?

    I just installed a Delta Turner Toilet today. I've had the Delta Corrente for many years now with no issues, but like wjcandee says it has a non-standard fill valve. The nice thing about all the current Delta toilets is they pretty much use standard parts and korky makes 3 inch flappers and...

    Terry have the Niagara's 0.8 GPF held up well over time? It just seems like even though they maybe great that there is more possibility something will break and be a more costly repair.

    Best Toilet available from Home Depot or Lowe's?

    Yeah I wouldn't like that plus I don't like the push buttons on top because you can't store stuff on top :-)

    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    The Delta Corrente is still working fine after ~5 years. I have not had to replace any parts. A friend bought 3 and only had an issue with one and Delta sent him a complete new set of tank parts so now he has spare parts. To be honest I bought it because I thought it looked nice as well as the...

    Delta toilets?

    I think the Delta Corrente may have been the only one that used a non-standard fill valve. Home Depot quit selling it. I've had mine installed for 5 years now with no issues and I had a friend buy and install 3 units. I think he had a problem with one at first and Delta sent him all new tank...

    Best Toilet available from Home Depot or Lowe's?

    Well they only have TOTO at Home Depot and it looks like in comfort height only the Toto Drake 1.6gpf and the Toto Drake Eco 1.28gpf. The AS Vormax at HD gets good reviews, but not so good over at Lowe's slow close seat at HD seems only difference. The Vormax looks really nice, but the two flap...

    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    The Delta Corrente is still working good, but it appears Home Depot no longer carries this model in store :-( It also appears Delta is back tracking on some of the new ideas with the fill line coming into the top of the tank and moved to more standard looking parts. The tank connecting mechanism...

    Best Toilet available from Home Depot or Lowe's?

    What's the Best Toilet available from Home Depot or Lowe's? I've been considering the Kohler Cimmaron, American Standard Vormax, and maybe even the Delta Turner or American Standard Cadet 3. I know American Standard quality has had issues, but the Vormax seems pretty good flushwise.

    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    The Delta Corrente is still working good so far! I wish the bowl cleaning was a little better. They now have a Lilah toilet which seems to use similiar parts.

    New Delta Prelude Toilets at Home Depot

    I've had the Delta for over a year now and am happy with it. I haven't been back on here in a while, but I've been happy with the Delta Corrente for over a year now. The only issue has been with the installer...me :-) The Corrente just looks better than the other Delta Toilets to me except now...

    New Champion 4

    For comparison the new Delta Toilets (Prelude, Corrente) are using a 3-3/4 flush valve
