Hi Experts,
I recently purchased/moved into an 8 year old condominium. It has two bathrooms, both with Crane brand 6 lpf toilets. The main bathroom toilet has been clogged since I moved in, plunging furiously is a temporary fix. It'll work for the first flush, but the second flush it'll be backed up again. I assume an object is stuck in the trap.
In either case, I'd rather just replace them both.
The first issue I'm having is---how can I accurately calculate the rough-in without first removing the toilet?
The second question is regarding recommendations. My priorities are:
1) Price! I don't have a lot to spend due to other renovations and recently changing jobs for something that pays less, but that I enjoy more.
2) durability (i.e. will not get clogged)
3) a tall seat height (I'm 6'2")
4) vanity---something that looks trendy, as I plan on selling in another 2 years for a larger space for a growing family, and when it comes to condos... most people care more about how it looks than anything else.
Admittedly, a low flush rate is not very high on my list, since water is included in the maintenance fees. Likewise, I don't require a dual flush.
I have looked into the Toto line of toilets, but they are indeed out of my price range.
I can get a very good deal on Niagara Flapperless toilets, which I do know have had extensive industry testing... but can't find any real world comments from owners as to their duribility. http://www.watermatrix.com/products.php
Thanks,
