Hello everyone. First time poster here.
I have an old toilet that has been our main toilet for about 25 years now, and yesterday I noticed that the one flange bolt that holds the toilet down was completely broken off and just lying on the floor. No idea how that happened, other than it may have just rusted away and fell off.
My question is on how I should proceed. Is it safe to use the toilet with only one bolt holding it down? Will it start leaking at the bottom?
Should I remove the toilet and replace the wax ring and install two new closet bolts?
Would you recommend that I just buy another toilet? I really like this old toilet as it uses tons of water to flush and it hardly ever clogs. I realize the newer toilets use a lot less water when flushing and that worries me. My top priority is a toilet that doesn't clog and I don't mind using a little extra water if that assures me of a clog free toilet.
I've read a lot of good things about the Toto toilets and am seriously considering one of them. In your opinion, which toilet would flush better, my old 25 year old toilet that uses a lot of water or the new Toto Ultramax II?
Hey guys, thanks for listening. This is some nice site you have here. I'm sure I'll be a frequent visitor.
Thanks
