I was reading discussion about which toilets are recommended for people to get over on another forum & someone mentioned getting a Drake II with the new canister/tower flush valve. I didn't even knew such a thing existed so I started looking it up but mostly seem to find Kohler ones.
I saw that the Aquia comes with a canister flush, so it made me wonder which models can have the canister flush & how it compares to the original mechanism.
It looks rather bulky and I'm sure there are things that can go wrong with it (I've seen complaints about the Kohler version) but I also wonder if the ones for Toto have problems less often than a flapper. I've had problems of the flapper not aligning properly when it lowered, I replaced that flapper and didn't have any more problems.
1. Does anyone have much experience with the canister style flush valves?
2. How do they perform vs regular flappers & do they require more frequent maintenance/replacement?
3. Do they have problems with hard water?
4. Are there any designed to work in the Toto Drake or Toto Entrada (both have the same trap seal size)?
