On the advice and research from this forum (thanks Terry and others for advice in my other threads) I have a question about how this toilet should flush.
Install went perfect. I studied Terry's son's post about how to install the Toto Drake, and it was great. Thanks!
I am dumbfounded on how these toilets flush, though.
Do you just pull the flush lever down and let it go for the toilet to flush, or do you have to hold the thing down for a second or two for the tank to empty?
I tried it by just holding down the lever and letting it go right away, and it didn't seem like a full flush.
Then I tried by holding it down for a few seconds and it seemed like a much fuller flush.
These toilets are in a lounge, so I can just picture the patrons doing a "conventional" flush where you just hold the lever and let it go right away, and it should do a full flush. This is not the case with Toto's, it seems.
Pardon my newbieness, but up here in Canada there are still a ton of toilets that have a full flush where you just hit the lever and the flapper opens fully until the tank empties.
Thanks again guys, and I will definitely post updates. I know there are a lot of pro plumbers on here, but Google indexes this site like mad and I am sure there are a lot of newbs in my position that would like everyday insight into this toilet.
Other than that, it is a beautiful toilet, easy to install, and the parts and workmanship seem very high quality.
