Default SLOAN Flushmate Urine Mist

We installed two Gerbers with Flushmate valves in my parents townhome. A
lot quieter than the older Kohlers I have with Sloan Fluahmate valves. But
the Gerber water level is very high and can cause splashing. Best
compromise might be Gerber tall models. Extra water in Gerber toilet
probably means less mist. Kohler has mist too.

But Flushmate valves are still worth having despite noise and slight mist.
For one thing they flush. For another they go easily 10 years with no parts
needed. Try that with your flapper based toilet. Finally they sense back
pressure and will stop flushing mid flush to prevent overflow.

Hi

I just got a nice Maysfield toilet with the SLOAN Flushmate.

For those of you who are not familiar inside the tank is a bladder that
holds the water under pressure.

I noticed that when the toilet is flushed I feel a mist on my legs, that
is
when I am wearing shorts. I guess if I had the lid down, the lid would
keep
most of the mist in.

The other thing I don't like about it is that it is loud. The toilet is
adjacent to a bedroom.

I spent alot on the toilet and am not happy with it.

Ideas?


Pressure assisted toilets are noisy - this is just a fact of life. We
had a Gerber for years, and never had the mist problem, but it sure
was loud.
