In 2008 I bought the Memoirs model that Lowe's was selling. I've had multiple tank/bowl gasket leak problems. When I went to get a replacement gasket this weekend, Kohler had changed the style of the tank/bowl gasket assembly in the current Memoirs model that Lowes sells. I wonder if this is because the old gasket assembly is known to be defective and prone to leaking?
When I called Kohler, it took two customer service associated, but I was granted a WHOLE NEW TOILET with the new style of tank/bowl gasket assembly. I just had to have the receipt for the (3 yrs ago) purchase. Kohler e-mailed a letter for a replacement toilet within about 15 minutes and before the end of the day, I had a whole new toilet in my bathroom.
I'm not a contractor. Just an average homeowner, so I can't say for sure that the old style (large, black, plastic rectangle on the bottom of the tank and a rather thin gasket ring) was defective or not. (At first Kohler offered only a replacement tank, but after hearing the number of times both I *and* plumbers have replaced the gasket, they did authorize the replacement of the entire toilet.)
Many plungers have an inner flange that is used for toilets in particular, make sure to pull that out. Even in most case a forceful use of the plunger will get some results so with this flange and enough elbow grease you should be able to acheive some results
dont answer this but,,,,what are you flushing down it,,,,??? do you have a good flow of water in the flush,,,as it should flush away most normal things and by the way,,,children dont fit down the loo? i tryed that years agow! ooow! check that the out let pipes are clear and free flowing with no lips sticking up into the out let pipes
Your Toto has the "G-Max" flush valve system. The Korky/Lavelle folks have a carded replacement flapper #2021BP for it. It is red in color and the only generic flapper that will work on your toilet. While it may look the same, do not confuse it with the blue flapper #2022BP. Known as the PowerMax flapper, the blue color is to distinguish between the two and the flappers are totally toilet specific. Let your fingers do the walking and locate a hardware store near you that carries the Korky/Lavelle brand or it can be ordered online from several places using the part number for your search word.
If the fill valve ever stops filling correctly, the Lavelle "Quiet Fill", #528BP, is what Toto uses in most of their toilets.
flapper most likely needs to be replaced not sealing completely is one problem----- the other is float level not shutting off water valve --and other is bad water valve not shutting off or worn and needs to be replaced remove cover and turn water on watch water level lift float up if water turns off valve good----turn off water if drain down flapper bad and needs replacement costs a couple of dollars to replace -if water stays level in tank than float needs adjustment or replacement
You can purchase a clip to hold that tube at your local plumbing shop or home improvement store. You may also call your local plumber and see if they have one It is one of those parts I usualy end up with a tray full at the end of the year and usualy throw away. Most of the time on a new install you use the old one. Hope this helps.
There are two types of bowls as far as toilets are concerned...elongated and round front. The seats are interchangable as long as there isn't anything different in the way the seat is mounted to the toilet. As far as I know and my experiance with both brands, I can't see any reason why it would not work.
