Kohler sucks - Plumbing Zone

**Bill** · 04-27-2009, 11:07 PM

The place I stay at during the week had me install a new toilet for them. Its a Kohler and man does it suck! leaves skid marks all the time. It just dont seem to have the self cleaning action I seen in other brands.

Try a little more fiber in your diet.

Most newer toilets flush far better than they did a few years ago, however because of the quick powerful flush they don't swirl much hence the greater likelyhood of hash marks.

A few months ago, I had put in the new style Highline. The next day, the crazy lady called and demanded I replace it because the rim wash was inadequate.

I installed some no label brand that worked fine, except the flapper chain was too short.

Kohler does "suck". They're reduced to the ci products.
