I posted before Thanksgiving the toilet in the bathroom of the rental
not flushing well. This is one which has an original lead waste bend
which leaked before I replaced with a PVC one like six or seven years
ago. The toliet was the old standard non-water-saving type I am very
hesitant to replace. During Thanksgiving I removed the toilet, could
not find anything wrong, put it back with a new flush valve having a
higher overflow tube. My strategy was to flush with even more water
in the tank.

It didn't work. The tenants are having the same complaint.

Now I'd appreciate a toilet recommendation. I won't exactly go cheap,
knowing you get what you pay for. But I won't pamper them either.
It's a rental after all. I had a water-saving Kohler a few years ago
which works but doesn't flush with power.

Advice is appreciated.

The name you will hear most often is likely to be "American Standard
Cadet." It is a good one. In any case you want one with fully glazed trap
at least 2". Don't buy anything that does not meet that.

Note there are many different models of American Standard Cadet. As far
as I can tell, they are all good.
