I've got a bathroom that pretty much needs a wall hung toilet. (For reasons that I won't get into, the tiling won't be done before the toilet installation, and there may be a toilet height adjustment in the future. Please just take these as given.) The decor is "modern" - so an AS Glenwall, for instance, doesn't really work. Must be ADA compliant. Budget for the whole enterprise is sub-$1000, or thereabouts.
The problem is that everything I'm finding that fits the above specs is a dual-flush. My understanding is that dual-flush toilets only keep the smaller (0.9gal) volume in the bowl, resulting in a very small water spot. The Toto Acquia spec sheet, for instance, gives 5.5" x 4.75". And the reviews online (glowing, for the most part) uniformly mention a problem with skidmarks:
I've also looked at the Kohler Veil: https://www.us.kohler.com/us/Wall-Hung-Toilets/article/CNT121800001.htm
and a couple of the very cool looking Eago models: I believe these are all wash-down, but the websites don't specify, nor give water spot size.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
1) A single-flush or otherwise more powerful wall hung with no skidmark problems & a modern look.
2) Modifying a dual-flush to single-flush, and keeping 1.6gal in the bowl. (Which sounds impossible and probably warranty-voiding.)
3) I suppose a modern-looking floor mount with a large water spot / powerful flush that won't be a nightmare to take up and remount later on a (possibly raised) floor.
Yes, I know I'm asking for good, fast and cheap simultaneously. Please don't hold that against me.
