We're thinking about replacing one of our 1970's era commodes in one of
our
bathrooms. We have 3 commodes in the house and will probably replace all
of
them eventually. Each commode is of the older (6 gallon?) flush type.

Years ago I was told to hang on to the older commodes because the newer
ones
didn't flush well and were prone to a lot of noise.

How do the new commodes sold today work? We are looking to save water,
even
though just two adults live in the house.

Also, are the newer commodes quite? I don't think I would accept a
commode
that made a lot of flush noise.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.


Thanks



You mean "quiet" not "quite".

I replaced 2 old toilets with LF toilets in my house in Abq. The new toilets
worked much better and were not noisy. You maybe referring to the power
flush toilets which are more expensive and in my situation not necessary.

I wonder if altitude has anything to do with the function of toilets?
