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.


I raised the tank's level and it now forms the whirlpool, but the bowl may
not clear. �I figure that the jets are clogged (suggestions about how to
clean them) or the drain is constricted.- Hide quoted text -
