Flush it Down

I apologize for my conspicuous absence over the past couple of scheduled posting days. I've been reasonably busy but I would have made this a priority were I confident anyone other than my sister is reading. The truth is, I'm not at all sure that is the case. That aside...

I just came home with two new toilets. Both are Toto Ultimate one piece toilet. One is elongated and one is a round bowl. The only difference between the two is the shape of the bowl. The elongated is obviously larger and gives you a little more room, which is important when you're hung like a donkey. The round bowl is good for smaller rooms, like our powder room.

The choice came down to the Ultimate or the UltraMax. The UltraMax has a more heavy duty flushing mechanism (called the G-Max) but the truth is, for residential purposes there is not any need to go heavy. I may live to regret this decision once my sister moves home, but I think we'll be okay. It also replaces an old toilet that has a 3.8 gallon flush with 1.6 gallon flush, which is great. If you have an old high water consumption toilet, you should consider replacing it with a newer model.

I picked up the round bowl for $379 CDN and the elongated bowl for $399, which are both very good prices. I bought them from Tapworks in Scarborough and I recommend them if you need any bathroom hardware.
