Burping toilet
Have a condo on top floor with a brand new Kohler Cimarron toilet in guest bath, and new Toto (either dual cyclone or Gmax? flush) in master bath. When you flush Kohler, the Toto has a big burp which spatters all over the rim. Plumber came out today and filled all sinks, tub, then let everything drain at once. Everything drained fine, but toilet still burps. Pulled the Toto and ran a camera down to see if there was a plug...all lines were clear. Replaced Toto with another Kohler Cimarron, so that both had same puddle amount. This did not correct problem. Others in the building have been having the same burping problem. The plumber explained that since this has happened only after the bigger puddle (3 gal) toilets were replaced, there is not enough water weight, therefore the burp. Also the design of the plumbing in the building, as well as the toilets being so close to each other was a factor. In his 30 years of plumbing, he has never run into something that he could not fix. He even went up on roof and dropped a penny down each vent stack.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
