May 25, 2022 at 12:48 comment added BIBD @Ecnerwal what I have is about 12y old and at the time had a MaP of 1000+ I looked into MaP at the time we had it installed. It was the best I could find in the price range we could aford. I guess my constitutionals regularly exceed the max for the MaP standard :-(

May 25, 2022 at 3:03 comment added Ecnerwal The 1.25 and 1.6 GPF recent era toilets (at least the ones I've replaced old 5's with) have tanks as tall or taller than the 5 gallon ones, but much narrower. My 1.25 sometimes needs a second flush, as did the 5 - that's 7.5 gallons saved right there. Most of the time it does just fine on one. If you have a 3.5-2 GPF that does not work well, IMHO you'd be better off scrapping it and replacing with a modern unit.
May 25, 2022 at 2:52 comment added Ecnerwal How old, or what model is this toilet? Early "low flush" were not done well - recent ones are very much better (amazing what actual hydraulic design, rather than just shrinking the flush volume without changing anything else, can do) while using even less water than those early ones that flush poorly.
