We are planning to replace the 30 year old toilets in each of our 3
bathrooms and I am confused by the the terms Class 5 and Class 6 toilets by
Kohler. Will someone please try to explain how the differ and what are the
advantages of one over the other? We are not interested in other than
Kohler for reasons I am not sure I can explain.

Thank you very much.

I think it means it will suck down five or six ping pong balls. The new
toilets don't siphon well. I have a top rated toilet but if I take a big
shit it will clog it even with a courtesy flush. So when I feel I got a
big load coming down the pipe I usually flush mid-shit.

No I just looked it up. It means you can either shit out a 5" or 6" turd.
If it detects a 6 incher in a 5 inch toilet it will start to flush when
the turd gets longer than 5".

You know besides the humor value, your reply has merit. Flush twice.
Most who have these water saving toilets do flush twice. So I have to ask
just how the fuck is that saving water? Two flushes on my highly rated
Glacier Bay is more water than my 30 something year old Standard.

But do you need to flush so hard for liquids? I recall 10+ years back in
parts of California where the mantra was "If it's yellow let it mellow, if
it's brown flush it down" according to reports saved a boat load of water.

Have you heard of the poop button/ pee button toilets? They are in the
realm of $500 USD but don't work any better for pooping. Sure you'll save
water if you pee all the time and hit the pee flush button but I've heard
that two or three flushes are required for those whose body's tend to
hold back the turd payload until the bowel is filled.

A lever action manual model has been around for years. In fact you can
purchase a retro fit lever from both HomeDepot and Lowes.

Class 6 Koehler toilet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F011tf6rO4o

Yeah, big deal. Koehlers don't swirl so there's no bowl cleaning
action. Class 6 is supposed to have better rim cleaning but I don't see
it. It assumes a fast straight dump for a fash flush is all you want
(while saving on water), and that you soften well your city water and
don't have iron in it, or that the kids don't eat lots of chewing gum or
other eats that are sticky going in and well as out. Not having enough
water in the bowl to surround the solid waste is another reason why it
doesn't clean well (so you'll be flushing twice so forget the water
saving). Even using the teflon toilet cleaner won't help because the
water doesn't clean what it doesn't touch.

The jet-pushed flush action does help eliminate having to reach for the
plunger if you typically use large and numerous wads of toilet paper to
clean yourself. While they don't clean well, there's no victory lap for
the turds racing for the hole. Well, if you're that concern about how
many partial seconds faster a toilet can flush so the next person can
dump and flush then install another toilet in that high-count household
of yours, or get outside and do work or exercise or eat less so you
don't have to park your rump to dump so much.

I'd rather have more water in the bowl to surround the solid waste (less
sticking to the bowl) and better rinsing action to clean the bowl during
a flush and sometimes have to remember to flush during use and not just
at the end if I dumped a large load or had to use several wads for the
hershey squirts. Maybe the low water level and quick flush are
favorites of those who really need to do a courtesy flush at short
intervals. Maybe start using toilet paper you trust more between your
hand and your anus so you don't have to wad up so much of it.

All i know is when you're sitting on the shitter and taking calls from *rank*
noobs at the same time you want a powerful flush to get the other party off the
phone as soon as possible. Also when you hear the toilet flush while you're on
the phone it makes it seem like the call's from India for sure.
