    Had quite few installed in a commercial building I work in.....no more clogs and they flush the bowl clean, no matter how big the load is, or how long it was sitting unflushed. Very pleased with them.

    Love my Flushmate. I'm only a homeowner, but have purchased enough spares to build three of these. Standard seat height and powerful flushes. I upgraded to Fernco FTS-3 permanent(and reusable) seal and stainless floor mounting hardware with stainless wingnuts and bolts for the tank. Due to water here, every few years I pull the tank, pull the basin and plug the outlet then fill with muratic acid outside for a few hours. Like a new toilet after re-installation.

    Some of those units are recalled by sloan due to the tanks failing. Sloan will send you a whole tank free of charge if it is is the age range. Just call the 800 nukber on the tank and give them the serial number. Sloan has been very good to deal with.

    • @lenyamamoto2951

      Yes, there is a recall on Series 503 Flushmate III Pressure Assist flushing systems manufactured from October 1997 to February 2008.
      Definitely call Sloan to confirm. There have been reports of these rupturing.

    I love my two flush mate toilets. In the early 90’s when the government mandated low flow toilets it was the only one that didn’t need two to three flushes to clear the bowl. My sister had an American Standard with a porcelain trap and that still needed two or more flushes.

  • @williamcandee5267
    @williamcandee5267 2 года назад +3

    Totally-agree, Steve, about not loving these Flushmate toilets. Very happy with our Toto Drakes (and other Totos), which have a simple but very-effective trapway design that reliably-evacuates the bowl every time, with zero drama. It almost seems like it shouldn't flush so well given how quiet it is.

    I just bought the pressure flush toilets, I like hearing the power Flush, for most men we need the power in the flush from our body waste. Do you know how long one can flush before needing repair? It must be long because hotels seem to have them all over.

    Are used to have one of those that was similar to that it was called in Eljer and it was a pretty good Toilet lasted for many years but then it eventually got to the point that I could not get parts for it anymore so I had to replace it and I ended up getting a toilet from the big box store and man the one I got from the big box store what a big piece of crap it is. We use it because we bought it and it’s there but it would not have been a toilet that I would be a big fan of and I would probably not buy it again. Got it from our famous Lowe’s department store. Should have went to a plumbing supply house and got me a good toilet somewhere else. Since I didn’t have a Steve in my town.
