Replacing an old builders grade Peerless 1.6 (more like 2+ gallon flush because I have never been able to find a flapper that works right for it after the OEM started leaking) and have narrowed it down to the Kohler Wellworth and the Eco Drake. From what I can tell they both seem to flush well with no clogs. I need to go round front and standard height for a kids bathroom. I have some questions on both of these models.
I am leaning towards the Eco Drake, but their spec sheet does not list the dimensions for its footprint. I need to make sure that it is large enough to cover the space of the toilet it is replacing. Does anyone have this info? It is one of the big hangups as I don't want to take the risk. I don't have a local dealer of Toto products so I have to go online for it so a return would not be feasible.
The Wellworth definitely covers the footprint but I am worried about how difficult they will be to plunge as the bowl shape is weird. I expect that it will clog at some point with it being for kids. Also, I worry about the non-standard parts. In theory they should last longer than a flapper, but eventually they will need to be replaced. Can someone speak to the plunging issue or the parts issue for it.
I am wanting 1.28 gallon flush, part for environment and partly because I am now paying $12/1000 gallons for water and sewer.
By the way, I noticed that the Eco Drake is now rated for 1000 map. I read threads from a few years ago that said they were only 600 for round front. Did Toto change something at some point or did they just have them retested with better results?
