Plumbing question.... was mentioned on DU2.

[femmocrat]

Does anyone remember the name of the toilet that was recommended by DU2 posters way back when?

It wasn't like Kohler or American Standard. It was an unusual brand name. Posters highly recommended it.

Thank you!!

2. Yep. Toto.

Plumbers really like Toto.

You won't find them at big box store. Mostly plumbing supply houses. The plumbing supply houses like toto because you can't find them at big box stores. Which is not necessarily a good thing for the consumer. For instance, a couple plumbing supply houses I know refuse to offer Kohler since Kohler started selling through Home Depot and the like.

Here is a rating on several toto models and a few other brands from a site I frequent with plumbing questions:

3. I did a major remodel a few years back and installed Toto Ultramax toilets.

If I ever need to purchase a toilet in the future (new home etc.), I will buy the same toilet. Very good product.






From the Manufacturer
Sleek high profile elongated one piece toilet with 12-Inch rough-in. Low consumption (6 Lpf/1.6 Gpf) siphon jet flushing action Tank cover, fittings, chrome plated trip lever and SoftClose seat included. G-Max's extra-wide 3-Inch flush valve and wide 2-1/8-Inch glazed trapway offer increased flow, drawing water into the bowl more quickly, and then away more forcefully . And with G-Max's powerful siphon jet, the system makes sure what goes down stays down. G-Max is the industry benchmark for flushing performance with features like: A larger 2-1/8-Inch glazed trapway offers increased flow, drawing water into the bowl more quickly and then away more forcefully to prevent clogging. A huge 3-Inch flush valve creates a quicker, quieter, more forceful flush. An extra large siphon jet generates unmatched power for one-flush superiority to make sure what goes down stays down. Toto's SoftClose seat is the latest in innovative smart seat technology with Comfortable Ergonomic Design, Molded Bumpers, and High Gloss Polypropylene. (Resistant to Chemicals and Cleaning Agents.) Constructed of solid, high-impact plastic, this unique seat is specifically designed to reduce injury and to eliminate annoying "Toilet Seat Slam". The seat and lid utilize a built-in SoftClose hinge system, which lowers the seat down to the bowl gently and quietly. The engineering of SoftClose incorporates Toto's high standard of quality and consumer ease. Top tightening mounting bolts ensure easy installation. And of course, all seats are precision designed to fit regular or elongated bowls.

4. Thanks for your replies and recommendations.

Those are really cool looking. I'll look around for them here. I don't think that was the one, but it's worth looking into!
