Terry, thanks, your latest comment re gallons of flush is very useful. Let's go back to my earlier question re the two-piece Toto Drake ST743E with 1.28g and the one-piece Toto C853 which has 1.6g plainly written on it. Your vote to keep was for the one-piece ST743E with 1.6g flush. Since I...

Actually I just discovered that it was installed in 2009. Would it still be 1.6g? (The 1.28g standard came into being in CA in 2014.)

Terry, the toilet you voted out (in favor of the one-pc) is ready to leave the premises. Rather than having it go straight to the dump, I'm planning to list it on Freecycle, just in case. To describe it accurately, I'd like to know what the flush volume is/was. The new ones are listed as...

Thanks, Terry! I trust your professional opinion 150%. But see my next reply....

I've just had two toilets replaced and I have "left" two TOTO toilets and one spot to install one of them. Both were installed 15+ years ago. Please help me decide which one to keep and how strong is your preference for one over the other: One-piece Toto Ultramax CST853 Two-piece Toto Drake ST743E

WorthFlorida, thanks for bringing this brand to my attention. This option looks like a winner. Tankless, 120v, cord to plug in.

Wayne, the description shows the small 120v Chronomite tankless heater with a plug and 3' cord. Here's the description: https://www.amazon.com/Chronomite-120VAC-Undersink-Electric-Tankless/dp/B08F5CX5RS

Thanks, Wayne, but I'm not patient enough to push buttons or wait for hot water to get to the sink directly or via recirculation. Therefore all the COVID advice to wash hands frequently means I'm washing quickly in cold water. I'm willing to put money behind a solution that means I can have...

In the California drought, I still want warm/hot water in the bathroom sink, without running gallons of non-hot water down the drain just to get a small amount of water for handwashing. (A new whole-house heat-pump water heater is about 10 feet away, but I can't stand waiting and watching cold...

SOLUTION: To remove the end attached to the hose, I reattached the above part and then tried to pull it out along with the hose. Lo and behold, the plastic/chrome-colored cover yanked off in my hand, and the black plastic working parts remained attached to the hose. I cleaned all the screens...

Thanks for your reply. I'm pleased to say that the round toilets I'm swapping out came from Terry Love's toilet recommended list--so not bad. But now I'm getting "chair height" elongated toilets.

It appears to me that toilets never wear out--since all the internal parts and handles can simply be replaced. I am getting new toilets due to style changes, water-saving, etc., but what to do with the toilets (Toto) being removed? Is there any way to give them away? Do they all end up in...

This is American Standard, no model number (long discontinued) but here is a closeup of the spout, removed from the hose. It was simple to screw off and clean the filter at the business end (top of photo), but I can't figure out how to remove/clean any filter at the end that attaches to the...

I've had this 1G toilet installed and in use for two months. It is GREAT! Quick, efficient, and not noisy! It works so much better than my 1.6g toilets, I'm going to order a second one.

This American Standard bathroom sink faucet with pull-out hose has worked fine for two decades. Now the water coming through the handheld part is restricted, apparently by the filter where it attaches to the hose. I was easily able to unscrew and clean the filter at the end, but can't figure...

Thanks, Terry, that's exactly the information/encouragement I needed.

I live in California where the current standard is 1.28 gallons/flush. I am considering the Drake II 454 in the 1.0 gallon option. MAP rates it "Highly Recommended" but I would welcome experience of others.

Amazingly, the fact that (at least) the Neorest seat automatically rises when approached is a non-starter. My bathroom is small and the Neorest would be saluting every time I used the sink or took a shower. Very nice to look at your installation photo.

Thanks for your comprehensive reply--Your information helped me decide I'm definitely going to go for a toilet plus washlet, rather than the Neorest or Kohler where the washlet feature is incorporated.
