Default Underperforming toilet.

So this is a special toilet, not something that can be retrofitted.


That's correct as far as I understand because the bowl is a little
different to accomodate the way that the water dynamic flows out
differently. If there is some retrofit kit on the market it would be
easier to just install a new toilet.

I used to have an old style gravity toilet that was built prior to the
water conservation efforts and it used several gallons per flush. Then 10
years ago I replaced it with a new gravity toilet and I was very
disappointed with the weakness of the flush. I couldn't believe how weak
it was in comparison. So I ended up throwing it away and replacing it
with a pressure model. Since then I will never go back to a gravity unit,
they are junk in my opinion because you can't do a decent flush with less
than 2 gallons of water using gravity.


You can get a retrofit unit, but the camp is on a well and our pressure is
probably not up to the requirements.
