We replaced our household toilets with 1.6 gallons/flush models (they will all be 1.3 gpf soon) this spring due to worries about our well. Some observations:
- I was concerned our old DWV system would not handle the lower volume efficiently. Turned out to be just fine.
- The flush mechanism is whole 'nother model from the flapper-and-float workings of yore.
- Many of the new models are "chair height". The jury is still out, IMHO.
- The new fixtures came with "slam-proof" seats and lids. If you have a 7-year old grandson, it's the biggest benefit of all.
Oh Yeah, you will like those chair height stools. Or at least you will when you get older. Perhaps DIY plumbing will be a thing of the past? I have noticed that those stools are complex. Repairable for a DIY er, but not the same. Are you still sane after your Remodeling? Married? Speaking? :-)
