I see Moen has a sensor operated flush valve now.Has anyone used them?I've always bein fond of Moen,and I feel the Sloan sensor flush valves are crap right now. It's unfortunate ,I have bein a Sloan fan since i began plumbing,but I have had to replace countless sensors in the past few years that failed within a short time of being installed.Even though Sloan replaces them at no charge I am tired of having to go back after a few months and rebuild 3 of the 6 valves I just installed.So I'm thinking of using the Toto or Moen valves.Any input.

I'm a big fan of the Toto's, but they eat batteries.

Have not and did not know they had that line of product.

Well by golly,I do know an ol' boy who can change batteries rather quickly:laughing:. Something along those lines are easier to explain to the B.O. than saying the unit is going to be down for a few days waiting for parts,or taking time to put install a temp. re-placement valve or manual valve.
Good to get nice feed-back regarding the toto,you always hate to install a new brand with-out some first hand knowledge of what to look forward to.

I was just with the rep on Moen's commercial line.

Ummmm, looks very expensive to repair, have you seen the inside??

this was awhile ago, but all I remember is the large brass stem running down the middle of it, along with a spring and a large number of other mechanical devices.

Sloan auto is congested, but nearly as much as the Moen.

Have yet to try it, or repair it yet, so I will keep you posted.
