: : : Usually a power flush toilet requires a certain amount of pressure in order to charge the pressure tank. I would concider the Toto Ultimate that is shown at this sight. It is a gravity Toilet that performs as a power flush toilet. Make sure you ask the person you are buying the Kohler from about minimum pressure requirments. : : The spec sheet on the Kohler Web Site says "Minimum static pressure required - 15 p.s.i." for the Kohler. : : Do you know what it is for the Toto Ultimate? : No min. pressure required. The reason Kohler requires 15 psi is to "charge" the pressure tank inside the toilet tank. Because Toto is a gravity toilet there are no minimum pressure requirements. If you are concerned with water conservation, the Toto unit is almost impossible to flush while using the Federal 6 liter maximum. To do so you mus hold the tip lever down no longer than 0.9 seconds. Longer hold downs will result in two to 2-1/2 gallons being used.
