    Toto Drake 1.6gpf Poor Bowl Wash In Back - none!

    I was disappointed to find out that my standard height 1.6 gpf Drake 1 does not clean well. And I have the Sanigloss. If you get splatter on the back side of the bowl, the toilet water will not clean it off. In addition, splatter accumulates on the upper inside of the back wall. In both case, I...

    Toto Drake 1.6gpf flush valve causes water hammer

    I bought a Drake 1.6gpf toilet last month (standard height & insulated tank) and when the flush valve shut off, it would cause my pipes to bang big time. This never happened with my other Kohler toilet and I know my pipes are secured to the floor. So I called my plumber and he replaced the TOTO...

    Toto Drake II Tank Top

    OK, well In have had the Drake II for the past 6 years and replaced the VELCRO at least 3 times. But the Drake II lid always slides toward the back of the toilet and exposes the tank rim. So ugly. I know this is caused by my leaning backwards which pushes the toilet seat up against the lid. One...

    Drake Toilet Tank Wobble

    My contractor just installed a Drake 1.6 gpf toilet with an insulated tank. The base is solid but the tank wobbles/moves somewhat. When I sit down and lean back, it moves. Why is that. Is it not tightened down enough? I sort of recall that when my Drake 2 was installed I had a problem like...

    Picture Of Drake ST743SD Insulated Tank?

    Thanks Terry. I have a Toto Drake II in the hall bath and, on one hot & humid day when my AC was not on, it sweated like a pig dripping water all over the floor. I was sort of surprised how much it sweated so much! Dan McDermott

    Bathroom Sink Faucets: American Standard vs Moen Vs Delta

    I thought I liked the Voss Moen Faucet until I saw it in action. The water stream that comes out (1.5 gpm) is very very narrow are not very aerated. I think this is because it has a 1/2" aerator. Most of the Delta's have the same size 1/2" aerators. So, I saw an American Standard faucet in...

    Toto Drake II vs Drake 1 vs American Standard Champion Pro

    I have a Drake II in my hall bath and love it. But in my master bathroom, I would like a toilet that is not 16" tall because I am a short person who like to have their feet flat on the floor. Thus, I am looking at two options: Drake 1 and the American Standard Champion Pro. Which one of these is...

    Air Gap and Air Admittance Valve (AAV)

    My Maytag dishwasher says I may need to install an Air Gap device. Since I plan to use an Air Admittance Valve for the sink (with a garbage disposal), is the AAV the same thing as having an Air Gap device....or do I need both?

    Are Air Admittance Valves as Good As Vent Out Roof

    We are remodeling or Kitchen and want to put a garbage can under the sink on the left hand side. This will not allow us to connect to an existing air vent that goes out through my roof. I was told we could use an Air Admittance Valve. How good are these and do they work well for a long time...

    Is it true a faucet or a tub or a sink bought at big box stores are lower quality or factory rejects as compared to buying them at a plumbing supply store?

    Basco Enclosure for 36 inch Neo Angle Shower

    I have been looking at the BASCO enclosures for my 36 inch neo angle shower and I'm trying to decide whether to get one with a frameless door or a framed door. To keep the water from leaking outside, the frameless door has plastic drip strips on the bottom and side edges of the glass. The...

    Insulated Tank for Toto Drake II

    Does Toto make an insulated tank only for the Toto Drake II? I have a Toto Drake II Cotton White CST454CEFG with CEFIONTECT. I find the tank sweats a lot in humid weather, so I'd like to get an insulated tank for by model.
