Hi all,
I am in need of a new toilet for a bathroom. I always have to replace the flappers of my other toilets in my other bathrooms (Gerber and Carlyle II) at least once a year because they get all gunky (algae/mold?) and leak. It doesn't matter what I do, drain all the water... clean with vingar... replace the flapper etc the stuff eventually comes back. I have soaked the walls of the toilet with vinegar and let the vinegar sit there for a while. I have moderately hard water, would that cause these growths to come back easier?
In any case I was looking at ordering a new Toto 1 GPF or 1.28 GPF model. Currently looking at Ultramax II, Eco Soiree, and Eco Guinevere. I read some posts on this forum that said the 1.0 GPF have more complicated internals. Since I am replacing my flappers like once a year on all my toilets, I was a little concerned it would be more difficult/cost more money for me to replace the flapper on the 1.0 GPF toilet when they get gunky like my other toilets.
Could someone with more knowledge give me some advice on this? Stick with the 1.28GPF in my situation or will the 1.0 GPF be ok? Thanks!
