Hi,
I'm about to install my toilet in the basement. It is an American Standard Cadet III 13.2L one I bought from Home Depot. My wife has a home daycare so the toilet will be used by up to 6 kids every day. And if you know young kids they can "have to go pee" sometimes a few times per hour. This toilet will see some serious use ;-)
Two questions:
1) I was told not to go with a "low flow" toilet in the basement. I specifically made sure it wasn't a 6L toilet although I would much rather have a 6L one. The piping is 3", house constructed in 2007. I'm using an inside fit closet flange (I know, I know... but cement was poured right up to the pipe so I have to make do). So my question here is:
- Since it's a basement toilet should I use the 12L toilet or should I go for a 6L one? I don't really know why I was recommended not to go for a regular flow toilet other than maybe the increased amount of water may push the waste further down the pipe....? Hell if I could I'd use a dual flush toilet 4/6L for water conservation... Thoughs, advice?
2) The inside fit closet flange is the type that spins once it's glued down. That is, the outer ring can be rotated and then screwed down. Currently it's configured so the bolts aren't perfectly aligned to be parallel with the wall. Is that going to be a problem? I can fix it but if I don't have to I'd like to just leave it. I'm attaching a pic that should help...
Thanks!
