I have a basement bathroom that has a 12 year old Kohler 1.6 that I would like to replace. It clogs every so often (once or twice a month on average) and is eventually going to need a rebuild. After reading up on the Toto toilets I think I am sold. I am near Seattle (in Tacoma) so might even be able to work out a deal with Terry? My interest is leaning toward something that would have the least problem coping with the older drain pipes (house is 50 years old and cast iron drains)
The Kohler 1.6 model has been able to keep up most of the time but wonder if going to a high efficiency toilet might be a poor idea? Stay with a 1.6 flush model and combine that with some of the important features - Sanigloss coating, elongated bowl, standard or the higher ADA model? Can any of these features be combined with a higher flush capacity reservoir to leave a margin of safety? I would prefer the dual cyclone flush and newer tech unit if it does a better job cleaning the bowl.
Thanks!
