I'd like to replace my floor mounted rear outlet toilets (Kohler Barrington two-piece with Flushmate pressure assist top tanks). I cannot change the rear discharge plumbing. I have four toilets to change out.
The problem is that the pressure assist systems have all of the quiet charm of a hand grenade. Especially at night!
I really need something quiet, that works well, yet looks good.
My questions are:
1. Do i have to use power "pressure" assist with a rear outlet toilet?
1a. Or is it at least highly _recommended_ that I use power flushers?
1b. Or is a well designed gravity flush feasible? (that would be quiet!)
2. Does Toto make a rear discharge toilet? What's the model? I can't find that from their web site.
3. What manufacturers and models would you recommend?
I'm remodeling, and the tiling is due to go in in a month or so, so i have a chance to add electric and make a few changes, but the rear wall plumbing has to stay (it's inside cinder block concrete).
Thanks, TC

Because of the change to 1.6 gallons, you can no longer find a gravity tank that works as a floor mounted, rear outlet bowl.
2. Does Toto make a rear discharge toilet? What's the model? I can't find that from their web site.
3. I've heard of some electric toilets that seem to combine some sort of power assist flushing, yet are reasonably quiet. Do these exist? What are their advantages and disadvantages? Would any of these kinds of products apply in my case?TOTO does not make a floor mounted rear outlet bowl.
They do make commerical bowls that use a Sloan type valve that use a wall carrier.
These would not be recommended for homes. To use any commerical flush valve in a home would require repiping the home all the way to the water meter.
None of the electric toilets are floor mounted rear outllet bowls.
