Thoughts? My #1 has been the AS champion 4max but I have one that is leaking from the tank and it's less than 5 yrs old. On another one I had to replace just the gasket washer, which is not a stock/ universal replacement part. Took a few days from amazon to receive the ten dollar plastic ring. --24.194.xxx.xx

The cheap toilets I get from Lowes for $89 are "push for number one, hold and release for number two". That is dual flush for me --50.4.xxx.x

We just wanted the taller commodes, and these are all elongated. --216.126.xx.xxx

"Single" flush toilets can be made "dual" flush by how far you push the lever. 1/2 push for #1, full push with more water available for #2. That said, for tenants I too would install dual flush; can't always count on tenants to follow simple instructions or anything out of the ordinary. --35.132.xx.xxx

Environmentally responsible would be to flush your toilet with rain water, however, most people aren't as crazy as myself. --73.113.xxx.xxx

Maybe we should install rain barrels at our rentals? --73.113.xxx.xxx

Average person probably uses 1600 kW a month with 1 heat pump running --65.188.xxx.xxx

As far as toilets go. I install the chair height single flush elongated bowl toilets - usually Kohler - cimmaron - on sale it usually was $199. Last time I installed Lowes project source one for $99 and so far I have been happy with it. --65.188.xxx.xxx

if its yellow let it mellow. if its brown flush it down --63.86.xxx.xx

For rentals where the water is expensive and the LL pays the bill, Niagara Flapperless is pretty bulletproof. No water leaks and simple to repair. IMO, the 1.6 gallon is the optimal size. --201.140.xxx.xx

Nice info - but I had a tough time reading, because I kept wondering who "BAD" was... --108.36.xx.xxx

I have elongated American Standards in my primary residence and these are my favorite commodes of all time. If I ever sell this house, I will take these 2 toilets with me! --71.207.xxx.x

My favorite is American Standard with concealed trap. Sides of toilet are easier to clean. This is in comfort height and enlonged bowl. --35.132.xxx.xxx

In 2004, we put a new second toilet in, a composter with no flush. Not for tenants or the faint of heart. --216.23.xxx.xx

I pay for water and usually, when I get a big bill, it can be traced to my AS Champion toilets. I now put food dye in the tanks and test the toilets on a regular basis, to avoid large water bills. So, I'd say, the ability of the toilet flapper to maintain a reliable seal, is the most important quality of a toilet :-) --74.102.xx.xx
