It's official--my locality is in drought and mandatory water rationing is in force as of yesterday. Time to replace the old faithful water-guzzling toilet in the master bath. I have a few questions:
(1) Anyone have experience with the Toto EcoDrake, EcoUltramax, EcoSupreme or EcoNexus? All of these models are eligible for utility company rebate. Now, according to the Toto website, these all use E-Max technology--no mention anywhere of G-Max. (Say whaaat?) What's more confusing to this novice, the specs appear virtually identical: the only differences seem to be aesthetic. Any enlightenment, please?
(2) The toilet in the half-bath is a five year-old Kohler with 1.6. gpf. I've added a liter bottle full of water and weighted with pebbles to the tank, hoping to reduce the water usage a wee bit further. Thus far the bowl cleaning is just as good with this little addition. Any potential problems with this? Every bit of water savings help as the local limits are fairly Draconian.
(3) Would you go with a Toto Aquia for the new toilet, so that there's .9 gpf capability somewhere in the house, or go straight to one of the 1.28'ers, which apparently function a little better overall?
Thanks, guys. I seem to be in analysis paralysis over this one.
