High performance toilet...

Well, I have a tank gasket leak on a toilet in the bathroom in the master bedroom that's seeping. So I decided to replace the whole thing with a Kohler K-3493-RA-0 Highline, 1.6 GPF, Elongated Comfort Height Toilet with pressure assisted flush. I ordered it on line from Build.com with free shipping. It was cheaper than Home Depot plus no sales tax.

I hate residential toilets that are built for midgets. The one I have now has a bowl height of 14.50" and this one is 17.125" plus it has the elongated bowl. It kills my knees to get that low so I wanted something taller.

I've had the pleasure of trying one of these toilets out before and like Al Bundy's FERGUSON toilet...it can take a punch! [:D]

    Took the underground city tour in Seattle about 20 years ago.In one room they had a CRAPPER toilet. Seattle is build on top of a older city.All the toilets in the underground city are mounted up high in the bathrooms because years ago when the tide came in, all the toilets would overflow.

    It must be a guy thing. My wife just dies when I brag about my toilets.

    She works for a plumbing contractor and got screaming deals on high end Totos for the bathrooms when we remodeled. I have the tallest seat height they make, elongated bowls, and the one in my bath has an over-sized seat so I don't feel like I am sitting on a coffee cup.

    Life is good. [;)][8D]

    seriously, there have been so many discarded toilets laying around in the last month I could have had 50 of them in my basement and start selling them like used cars.

    saw 2-3 with that sort of plumbing in the back, didn't look aerodynamic like that one though. right now there's one outside from the 60's the tank and bowl all one piece, looks totally cool.. low rider too. cover of the tank is gone though and that would be impossible to replace.

    I don't see the big deal with stools. What's going on anyway? There were 1/2 dozen commercials on TV bragging about the "features". If you had been raised sitting on a board over an open hole in the ground, ANY indoor poop receptacle would be just dandy.

    ..High rider or low rider, it makes no difference to me. I don't spend enough time on it to care. Go in, sit down, do your business and be done. I'll never understand those that sit and read while there. What's to wait for? When my bowels say I'm ready, I'm ready.

    Several manufacturers use the Flush Mate tanks; some of these have exploded. If you have an older unit, check the date to see if yours was recalled.

    Yup, the one thing you never find or need in an outhouse is a toilet plunger [;)]
