+1. Installed at plumber's recommendation. When I flush, the back fence jumps!

Here's my take. For anyone over 60 what's known as the "hospital" style (3 inches higher than "regular") and the compressed air assisted flush is preferable (to me anyway). The old knees appreciate that extra 3 inches in height (unless you install a grab bar) and the air blaster gets the remains to the sewage treatment plant before I get my belt fastened.

i am a plumber and i would recommend the kohler handicapped elongated toilet. i put them in all day every day and they are just right for the price. the flush fast, don't use a ton of water and don't have extra holes to mount the tank to the bowl. this will save you money later as there is no rubber to wear out like a normal toilet. so you won't have to call me
all seats sold separately so if you want one that lets itself down just buy one. mho

Don't forget to install the grab bar. She'll appreciate your thoughtfulness about getting old together, but we all know its for when you encounter heavy turbulence after a big pot of étouffé.

A good toilet can pass anything you can
The rule on the marine heads is don't flush anything you haven't eaten yet. It only takes one disassembly to forever etch this rule into one's memory which is why you never take a landlubber date out on your boat.

Awesome Thread! Something I've also been thinking about.
The American Standard Champion 4 looks like a throne made for a King!

Boy this thread is just plum full of crap if I do say so myself. I am glad that I can rely on experts to help out when I have a problem with my home repairs also.

Been happy with the Toto's I installed a few years back, soft close lid is nice - I think other makes have that feature too. It's always fun how many replies a toilet thread generates.

This Thread should be copyrighted. a comic would bring the house down with this routine. I have been told I
am a wise ass. Only the toilet will ever know. I am still laughing mine off, and trying to visualize some of the dangers described here.

The last time I checked the three gallon "super s*****rs" can still be had in Canada. I had a couple of them shipped to me when I built my house a few years ago because I didn't want the government to tell me how to **** and also because we aren't in any danger of running out of flush water where I live. I don't remember the place I got them from but the guy I talked to there said 99% of their business was going to the states. If you decide to get one of the more exotic models get the one with the NASCAR style seat belts. ( a very important safety feature when Cajun food is a large part of your diet) Air bags may also be useful. Check the laws in your states as helmets may also be required with some models. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,....BLASTOFF!

No one realized that the head just pumped over the side. (France doesn’t have the “no dumping” rules that we have.)
Imagine getting up in the morning and looking out the window to see vast amounts of floating TP and “other” things surrounding the boat.
After that I think the girls were holding it in until we reached a “proper” restroom..
reminded me of when the wife, son, other son and his girlfriend and I rented a canal boat in France. (A kind of “drive it yourself” vacation.) The first night we just tied up on the side of the canal and learned the mysteries of the marine toilet.

We built a new house last year we installed the American Standard Champion 4 with elongated bowl and ADA height. It will handle anything that I can put in it. The next time that you are in my area, you are welcome to come by and try it out.(the one in the garage)
I forgot that I am at Charlie's house. This is LouisianaJoe. Do not go to Charlie's house.
He has old short thrones that are difficult to get off of if you have what you and Charlie and I have in common. ( | )
BTW, we are going to the Hattiesburg show on Saturday.

Get the American Standard Champion 4, you'll never have to look to see if it worked. It never fails.
I put one in last year and going to replace the other bathrooms with another American Standard this year.

Joe-you are my outside computer programing expert and have been for several years. I know this because I am constantly signing checks made out to you
(that's OK-its the state's money). The fact that you don't know how to post under your own name whilst at Charlie's house will not bode well at contract renewal time Similar threads
