October 21, 2018 By Mark Benett

american standard cadet 3 reviewIn this American Standard Cadet 3 review, we will focus on a combination tank and bowl toilet system.It features a concealed trap-way, elongated, white toilet set. The product comes with a seat and has a large flush valve.

One significant aspect of the toilet is its use of a top mount, slow-closing seat with a seamless lift-off cover.

The fixture has a clean, shiny, virus-resistant finish and a siphon action jetted bowl. There is also a hidden, smooth-surface trap-way.It weighs over 100 pounds and operates on WaterSense and Comfort Height capabilities.

Design, Materials & Finish

American Standard Cadet 3 is a 2-piece, water-saving system utilizing smart gravity technology.  It handles flushing in one easy go, with fewer clogs.

The Cadet 3 toilet combines high performance with low-water consumption.  It features EverClean surface glazing with a patented silver-ion coating.

The protective barrier withstands fungus, mold, algae, and mildew.  The toilet is available with an elongated or round front design.It has a large siphon trap-way and extra-wide flushing valve. These systems are durable and force significantly more waste than regular toilets.

The water-efficient design flushes quickly while using less water per gallon.

Cleaning (How it works to clean the waste)

When preparing this American Standard Cadet3 toilet review, we also found that it highlights a super- fast, water-saving flushing action. The Cadet 3 flushing component process as much as 1,000 grams of bulk waste in one flush.

The EverClean smooth surface helps make cleaning more comfortable and more hygienic. The massive siphon action and trap-way help minimize clogs for a cleaner, stress-free flush after use.

A pressurized rim allows the bowl to power-wash itself.  The technology uses trapped air inside the tank which forces the water from specific rim holes to clean and sanitize the bowl.

Water Consumption

The Cadet 3 toilet is a high-performing, low-consumption system that uses up to 20 percent less water than regular toilets. It amounts to at least 1.28 gallons of water per flush.

The siphon and trapway capabilities are also larger than standard toilets.  It means there are fewer clogs and flush significantly larger quantities of bulk waste.The systems work quickly and efficiently while utilizing less water to thoroughly flush the toilets.

The flush valve opening is also broader than standard toilet valves.  It lets more water into the bowl over 80 percent quicker than those with 2-inch pipes.

Performance (Flushing Effectiveness)

The Cadet3 toilet ranks in the 50 best commercial 2-piece toilets available.The flushing technology produces faster, stronger action each time you flush.

It’s EPA WaterSense certified for high-efficiency and approved for use by person with disabilities.

The system rates as the highest performing toilet in its range by processing 1,000 grams of bulk waste in a single flush.Smart Gravity technology also helps build its reputation for a consistent, one-flush action with fewer clogs.

The other flushing components also combine to produce a toilet that uses significantly less water, while maintaining a cleaner bowl.

Durability

The fast, powerful flushing mechanism of the Cadet 3 toilet does not compromise the superior workings of the unit.

The sturdy flushing valve will not twist or warp under pressure like some valves. The body of the bowl has a Vitreous China coating which produces a non-porous body that withstands leaks, rust, and corrosion.

EverClean is a patented, permanent silver-ion preservative in the bowl surface.  The antimicrobial coating has a long-lasting seen that remains clean for extended periods even after normal wear and tear.

The glazed surface helps protect the bowl surface from staining, fungus, algae, mold, and mildew.

Maintenance

The American Standard Cadet 3 toilet is easy to maintain.

The flushing system takes care of large quantities of bulk waste and helps control the incidence of clogging and blockages. There’s no need to plunge.

There’s also a power-wash, pressurized rim that scrubs the bowl after each flush. It reduces the need for chemical cleaners.Other hygienic features help reduce bacteria and other particles from building up on the surface.

American Standard Champion 4 reviews

October 5, 2018 By Mark Benett

american standard champion 4 reviewsThe American Standard Champion-4 Right Height toilet is an H2Option siphonic dual flush elongated toilet system. It also utilizes less water than regular toilets and is self-closing and flapper-free. It ranks among the top 20 Kitchen & Bath Fixtures, One-Piece Toilets, best-selling products. In this American Standard Champion 4 reviews, we can confidently say that this toilet far exceeds industry standards.

The toilet is entirely factory flush tested, which operates at a very high level of performance. There’s no need to plunge as it helps eliminate clogs.

Design, Materials & Finish

When preparing this American Standard Champion 4 reviews, we found that it highlights a one-piece fixture, fully glazed, white, porcelain, elongated toilet. The fixture weighs about 120 pounds and the seat is approximately 17 inches high.

It comprises a 2-3/8 inch Siphon Trap-way and EverClean, a highly-approved, and internal and external permanent anti-microbial surface.

The surface protects the bowl from scratching, and wards off mildew, mold, and bacteria. It’s available in white, linen, silver, black, and bone.

The seat cover has a flap-free, self-closing valve system for a softer close after use. The seat meets the industry standards for Americans with Disabilities guidelines.

Cleaning

The toilet delivers excellent flushing action after every use. It has a fast-acting valve and siphon trap-way that eliminates waste efficiently.

The piston movement activates the valve to pump water into the bowl more than three times faster than regular flush valves.

The valve also delivers less water at faster speeds than regular toilets. The high—performing flushing action conserves water while providing a cleaner flush after use.

The EverClean shiny surface protects the bowl from mildew, mold and bacteria build-up. You spend less time and effort cleaning the bowl since it repels odors and protects the color.

Water Consumption

The powerful piston accelerator flushing action delivers fast, high-quality, efficient flushing. It promotes a higher flushing action while using less water.

The flush valve propels water faster than most standard toilets and uses less than 2 gallons of water per flush (GPF). The average bowl can utilize as many as 5 gallons per flush.

The extra-wide trap-way assists the valve in pushing more waste faster and more efficiently through the system. It produces a powerful, cleaner flush while saving water.

Performance

If we have to write unbiased findings for the American Standard Champion-4 review then it is not wrong to be said that this toilet is so elongated with a highly effective flushing action that can easily be considered as one of the best flushing toilets.

It boasts a 4-piston flush valve accelerator that delivers strong flushing and stops clogs in their tracks. There’s no need to use the plunger or call the plumber to clear unpleasant backups.

The elongated siphon action jetted bowl forces water into the bowl faster and more powerfully than regular toilets.

Durability

The toilet design comprises vitreous china, an enamel coating that’s added to the porcelain surface. The process helps create a stronger, industrial-strength toilet that can stand up to the rigors of everyday use.

It weighs almost 120 pounds and comes with bolts and caps for a sturdy seal. The permanent EverClean surface technology helps protect the bowl from stains, odors, mildew, bacteria, and mold.

The permanent seal is on the inside as well as the outside, so the surface remains shiny and requires less cleaning time and effort.

Maintenance

Although the toilet is sturdy and durable, there are a few ways to help keep it performing at maximum capacity. Normal wear and tear can cause leaks, slow flushing or other related issues. For proper maintenance you can check below guidelines

  • Always observe the rules for setting up the toilet as explained in the users’ manual.
  • Use the right accessories and fittings for the toilet to ensure safety and stability.
  • Clean in and around the bowl with mild, soapy water and dry the surface thoroughly with a cloth to avoid spots and stains. In-tank cleaners can cause irreparable damage to your bowl or may spring a leak.

This toilet is a sturdy, attractive, economical choice that delivers consistent performance. The siphon trap-way has a broad opening that collects more waste than other toilets, depending on the brad you use.

Independent tests show the toilet tops the list for high-performing flushing action among similar brands. I recommend this toilet for its high-quality design, strong flushing action and overall durability.

How to Make a Toilet Flush Better

August 25, 2018 By Mark Benett

How to Make a Toilet Flush BetterMany people wonder how to make a toilet flush better. But how do you actually do it if you have no previous experience?

Slow flushing toilet can be a nightmare for someone, especially if you have a big family. During the morning rush hours, slow flushing toilet can make you waste time.

You will be wasting your time and time of every family member in your household.

Every toilet differs in things. However, the principle is the same.

You don’t need to be a plumber to be able to understand how your toilet works. Neither to learn how to make your toilet flush better.

In this post, you will find everything necessary that will help you fix your slow flushing toilet.

Why Would You Need to Get Your Toilet Flush Better?

There are many reasons to getting your toilet flush better. Being annoyed by waiting is just one of them.

It’s true that slow flushing toilet can waste your time and waste time of everyone in your family. It can even make you be late for work.

Regardless, slow flushing toilet can cause some other problems as well. If your toilet isn’t flushing properly, it might not get enough of water in the toilet bowl in needed time.

If the toilet isn’t flushing quickly enough, it might not be able to completely dispose of human waste. You would need to flush your toilet twice or maybe even three times then. Flushing toilet more times won’t only make you wait for the water tank to refill. You will also waste more water which results in higher water bill at the end of the month.

There is absolutely no reason to waste neither your money nor your time. It’s time to come to an end with slow flushing toilets.

What Are the Reasons for Slow Flushing Toilet?

It’s most likely that you’re having a slow flushing toilet problem. Slow flushing toilet can’t efficiently dispose of human waste as it should.

Since toilet is made from three most important parts, the problem can be in either one of them. If you aren’t familiar with toilet parts, there’s no reason to worry. We will keep it simple so everyone can understand.

The three main parts of every toilet are the toilet bowl, the water tank, and the mechanism.

Water Tank Problem

The most common reason why your toilet isn’t performing at the wanted flushing speed is simple. It is the water tank. The mechanism inside the toilet water tank is constantly in water. Therefore, it has its limited lifespan. If something from the mechanism isn’t doing its job properly, it’s a problem. Slow flushing toilet problem might occur.

Release Valve Clogging

Another reason might be the release valve where the water flushes to your toilet bowl. Whenever you press the flush button on your water tank, the valve releases the water that is inside the water tank. If it’s blocked, or not opening properly, the water might be going out slower than it should.

How to Make a Toilet Flush Better

There is no one way to make your toilet flush better. As mentioned before, it’s most likely that toilets differ from model to model. But also, not everyone might have the same problem.

1st Step: Locate the Problem

Before you even make your toilet flush better, it’s important to find the cause of the problem. Most likely that it’s going to be inside the water tank. Although it is a problem, it’s still easily solvable.

2nd Step: Clean Your Toilet Regularly

In my opinion, the best way to find the cause of the problem would be by cleaning your toilet. As you are cleaning your toilet, you will most likely come across the problem. You might even eliminate the problem as you clean your toilet without even knowing.

The toilet should get cleaned at least once a week. If it’s not done at least once a week, the water inside the water tank might leave calcium. Also mineral build up that comes from the tap water. Such buildups can slow the flushing speed, but also create a number of other problems.

3rd Step: Improving the Water Capacity

However, sometimes, only some improvements are necessary.

Inside the water tank, you have the ability to change the capacity of water inside it. It can simply be done by lifting up the water level bar inside the water tank to another level. Most of the new water tanks have the ability to raise the water capacity.

Raising your water capacity inside the water tank is a great solution. You will be flushing more water into your toilet bowl. The more water there is, the heavier impact will be. Therefore, your toilet flushing speed will improve.

If you are unsure how to change the capacity of water in your water tank, take it slow. It’s the best to find the manual or look up online your water tank model.

You can also watch below video for better understanding

Things to Avoid When Improving the Flushing Time of Your Toilet

The thing you should definitely avoid is to mess with other components inside your water tank.

I don’t recommend you take the mechanism of your water tank apart, for example. But you can look around and see if there’s anything causing the problem.

Also feel free to change the water tank volume. That’s something manufacturers have made available for all users to do themselves.

Never leave toilet cleaning products for too long inside the water tank. Otherwise, it might weaken the material of your water tank and its mechanical parts.

Conclusion

If you come to the point where you need to look for solutions, stay calm. Look for various solutions and you will make it work.

You don’t need to replace your toilet whenever you experience a problem. However, we agree that it can be really frustrating, time-wasting, and annoying.

There are many reasons why your toilet flushing speed is not the best. There are also many different ways to fix it. If you follow the post, you will be able to understand what to look for, and how to actually fix it.

How slow is your toilet flushing? Did you do something about it already?

How to Remove a Flow Restrictor from a Shower Head

July 21, 2018 By Mark Benett

How to Remove a Flow Restrictor from a Shower HeadInstalling a flow or water restrictor is intended to control the water flow in your shower head to less than 3 gallons per minute.Some regulators stipulate their use to help reduce water wastage in the shower.While the flow restrictor helps reduce flow to save energy and water, there may be challenges.

If the water pressure in your area is generally slow, a flow restrictor will slow down your flow even greater. Hence, you may need to take it out.Bear in mind that when you remove the flow restrictor, your water use may increase and escalate your monthly bill.

How do I locate the restrictor?

Check behind the metal piece in the shower head. It has a circular, flat, star-shaped design. The restrictor is the plastic part that covers the shower head inlet.They may come in colors and have slim, open inserts close to the edges.

Here are your tools:

Adjustable wrenches ,Paper clip,Towel or cloth,Plumber’s tape,Needle-nose pliers and Screwdrivers

Disconnect the shower arm from the tap

  • Use a wrench and detach the shower head from the arm.
  • Protect the parts from scratches or damage with a cloth, towel or masking tape.
  • Wrap the cloth around the parts and turn until it comes loose.
  • Look for the connection from the arm that’s attached to the wall.
  • Unfasten the ball joint inside the shower head with a wrench.
  • Remove the shower head from the arm.

Troubleshoot:

Apart from the flow restrictor, there are other areas than you need to check.If hot water runs through your shower head, examine the water heater for any issues that may also restrict water flow.

Sediment can build up in the water heating.

Make a full flush of the hot water system to remove any buildup.

Studies suggest you may install a water softener to help reduce sediment or replace the anode rod regularly.

Remove the gasket and screen:

Turn the shower head over and take out the gasket. The screen is attached to the inlet of the handle or shower head.

  1. Straighten the end of a paper clip and poke it around the gasket or O-ring inside the shower head.
  2. If it doesn’t come loose, try to pry it out with a screwdriver.
  3. Remove the gasket and protect it from any damage.If it is damaged, replace it with a new one.
  4. Examine the shower head and take out the screen if there’s one.
  5. Give the shower head a few knocks to dislodge the screen. If it stays in place, take it out with pliers.

How to clean the screen:

Take the screen; place it under the tap and let the water run on it. The water will help clear away any dust or sediment.

  • Position the paper clip under a part of the restrictor.
  • Twirl it and lift it up to take out the flow restrictor.
  • You can also use a screwdriver or pliers to help pry it out.

Put the shower head back together:

  • Put the gasket inside the shower head and slip it back into position.
  • Re-install the shower screen inside the shower head.
  • Unwind the plumber’s tape from the threads around the shower arm.
