I hope I can get some good advice from this informative forum. I have an American Standard one-piece 1.6 gpf toilet in my upstairs bathroom from a bathroom remodel about 15 years ago. Love the look of the toilet, but performance has always been a problem. (All serious bathroom business is best conducted in the downstairs bathroom ancient toilet ;-). I was planning to replace the upstairs toilet as part of a large home remodeling project because I'm tired of the clogging. But on a recent Green Built home tour, I saw a 1960's navy blue toilet that had been converted to low flow with a conversion kit. Wasn't able to ask the homeowners about "performance" issues, but it got me wondering. Is there a toilet repair/conversion kit available that would provide better results with my current American Standard? What are the brands to use or to avoid? Is this just wishful thinking on my part and should I just suck it up and buy a new Toto?
