Hi all --
There seems to be a wealth of Duravit experience here, so I'm hoping I can tap in to that (no pun intended).
I have about a 10-year old Happy D, close coupled, with that weird bendy adapter pipe in the back.
For a few months now, there's been a bit of moisture around the front of the toilet on the floor. Not a puddle, just kind of damp. Yesterday, we got our first little puddle, so now it's time to do something about it.
First of all, I will say this toilet has always been a problem. I've had it installed and reinstalled three times. So I would really advise against a close-coupled toilet if you are considering it.
That said, I have reached around the back of the toilet (it is open at the back) and I have not found any wetness around the floor flange. I have also reached up to where the coupling joins the toilet and can't really find any moisture there either. So from what I can guess now, I am thinking that maybe the bowl has a hairline crack?
It is really very perplexing, as there is no obvious answer here. I am trying to diagnose the problem without uninstalling the toilet because it is very challenging to reinstall. I'm hoping someone has been down this road, so fingers crossed! Thanks, MW
