I will attest that the TOTO Drake water closet is the best, most reliable, sanitary water closet on the market. I have been a plumber for 15 years and would highly reccomend it. It is the water closet I offer to all of my clients and I feel confident installing each unit. High quality control is paramount at TOTO and I have not had one defctive unit ever!! Which is hard to say about other brands…
Has anyone tried an Imapala round front , elongated, or ADA yet? It passed the miso test at IAPMO with a + 1000. It is found under the Eclipse brand. They are using the Tower of Power 3 inch flush valve. It has been out in the market place about for 6 months.
Only one toilet shows solid removal specification 600-750 grams. What are the others? Even 750 is not the highest rating available, many other brands have 1000 grams or higher removal, for example American Standard Champion 4. So why aren’t Toto and Gerber offering something at least as good as that?
I’d like to buy a nice Toto, they look well made, and often made in USA. But most important thing is getting all the stuff flushed down the drain. Even Consumer Reports did not find that the Toto models had the best actual flushing performance.
