now I know why. Anyway, I have decided to change the toilet out for
a more efficient 1.5 gal model. What I would like to know is what do
you look for when buying one of these things. Also.... are they as
efficient in flushing as the one I presently have?? I noticed that
the price of toilets at Home Depot also ranged from about $75 to $300.
That is quite a range. What is the difference??


I fail to see any economy when you have to flush it three times to get all the
crap to go down. I've had better luck tricking mine to hold more water in the
tank. It's amazing how much better it flushes with even just another half a
gallon of water.

Frankly, I'd hold onto the old one if I could repair it economically. In this
case, newer isn't necessarily better.
