    American Standard Cadet 3 Three Toilet consumer product review

    I'm not a professional but I'm not willing to deal with stuff that involves this much trouble. I initially got a Cadet 3 because I thought it was a toliet that functioned pretty good at a lower price than a Toto.

    Tankless water heater: Point of use

    The garage is well insulated because it has air conditioning and heat. It would be more trouble than I would want to undertake right not to change to 6 or 8 gauge wiring. I think I could change circuit breaker and up amperage and make it a 120 volt outlet if that would be of help. I did...

    Kohler Rialto K-3402-PB toilet

    I don't know if your Rialto is the older model that used 3.5 gallons to flush or not but if it is I'd rebuild it. I have a Rialto that I installed in 1988 and I have no complaints. I think it's gotten stopped up less than half a dozen times in 20 years. I did have to rebuild it a few years...

    American Standard Cadet 3 Three Toilet consumer product review

    I did try repositioning the tank, I even put a like softsoap on the gasket hoping that would let it seat itself better but had no success. I am not a professional and perhaps a professional could have installed it properly. Edited: I just went ahead and bought a Toto Drake and installed...

    American Standard Cadet 3 Three Toilet consumer product review

    For whatever reason this tank could not be tightened as designed. I was able to tighten it so tight that the tank was on the bowl on only one side. I did tighten it incrementally but with no success. I must have tried tightening it a dozen times before I finally said ok that's enough. I returned...

    Tightening tank to bowl: Advice please

    So would a Toto Drake be what I need to get. This bathroom is very tiny, only a toliet and a 32" x 32" shower and it's in my detached garage.

    Has the Kohler Cimarron gotten better in the last year?

    I just return an American Standard Cadet 3 that was finished badly. You could see where the baked on material did not cover the top of the front of the tank with the lid in place. I just need a decent toliet for a small garage bathroom and I'm not looking to get a Toto for this application.

    Pressure tank required by code

    I don't know if mine has a check valve in it but the city did change it out about a month ago. The new one has a transponder/anntenna or something like that on it so they can read it without getting out of car.

    Pressure tank required by code

    Our code requires a pressure tank for a hot water heater, no well involved. Is the pressure tank really necessary or is it only necessary because the code says it is?
