Thanks for reminding me about toilet mechanisms, healthy 1.
I read about a few more:
Early Closing Flapper: Usually found in many 1.6 Gallon toilets, The water tank fills with more water than a normal flush. The flapper closes after a certain amount of water leaves the tank. This helps gravity drain the tank more quickly.
Toto Power Gravity: A 3 inch wide flapper in a Toto toilet that lacks an early close mechanism.
Toto G-Max: A 3 inch early closing flapper in a Toto toilet.
Toto Double Cyclone: A non siphon jet Toto Toilet that instead generates a powerful vortex to remove shit, and it cleans the skid marks off much better than other Toto designs.
Kohler Rim Jet: a 2 inch flapper, and one huge waterfall in the front of the rim. The exit hole is located as far back as possible. This type of toilet has no vortex and no siphon jet. It works better than most 1.6 gallon toilets.
Kohler Ingenium: a 2 inch flapper, and waterfalls along the entire bowl perimeter. A siphon jet is used. The flush has the usual vortex action, but Kohler Ingenium toilets are what some people think of as soon as 1.6 gallon toilets are discussed. Keep a plunger nearby.
Kohler Class Five: a 3 1/4 inch flapper, siphon jet, and no vortex. This kind of toilet is more powerful than most 3.5 gallon toilets. Highly recommended for people who frequently use the plunger.
American Standard Aquaforce: A 2 inch flapper, a vorted, and a siphon jet. Those toilets range between junk and okay.
American Standard Flush Right: A 3 inch flapper and a siphon jet. They work well, and are cheaper and easier to build than most high quality toilets. Plus, this avoids the trouble caused by that flush tower device found in Champion toilets.
