    Can you lubricate Pfister cartridges - when the handle is hard to turn?

    Is it possible to lubricate Pfister faucets/cartridges? I've done that for years with Moen cartridges -- turn water valves off, pull the cartridge out, remove the center shaft, lube the o-rings with silicone grease, reinstall, good as new.

    Questions before I get a Toto Drake...

    I'm nearly convinced, from Terry's web site and reviews I've read, to buy a Toto Drake to replace a very old 3+ gallon flush toilet in our home. Before I do, I have an observation and then some questions... Observation We have a Drake elongated, comfort height, WaterSense toilet at work. The...
