I have read so many excellent reviews here of the Ultramax II and its great flush ability. I am planning a restyling of my 1969 tiny master bathroom. Keeping the 30" shower as is and replacing the original blue Formica vanity and blue toilet. The problem is this toilet is back to back with the old mocha colored toilet in the much larger guest bathroom. I would ideally like to replace both of these with the Ultramax II but the installation instructions said:
"Due to the powerful performance of our Cyclone, G-Max, E-Max and Power Gravity flushing systems, they are not specified for back-to-back installations. The only means of installing these toilets in a back-to-back situation is when the toilet drain connections incorporate a WYE fitting. Please contact your builder or contractor prior to this installation. "
Do I really need to have someone tear up my floors to find out if I have a WYE fitting or a
Double Sanitary Tee / Sanitary Cross, which it says can not be used?
These bathrooms are on the second floor, if that makes any difference.
Is there a different toilet that would have a cyclonic flush that would work better for my situation?
I replaced the first floor toilet with the American Standard Cadet 3 a few years ago but I do not like the flush action on it at all. We also get lots of calcium buildup on our toilets.
