Happiness is a Royal Flush

I'm not talking about playing cards, although I'm sure a Royal Flush there is happiness too. Nope, I'm talking about toilets! Those who have stayed at my new house know that my toilets leave something to be desired. When they are flushed, they gurgle, swirl and gurgle some more. The problem is that if there are any small particulates in the water, the swirling action leaves generous amounts of particulate material on the sides of the bowl. In other words, they are never clean.

Since I'm planning on starting a remodel of the bathrooms, guest room first, I decided to get the toilets early and replace the one in the master bedroom right away. I went for a new model rated with the "best flush".

WOW, this thing is great. When the new toilet is flushed, there is a quick, swoosh, and everything is gone. Its like magic!! All gone, nothing, in the blink of an eye!!.

I'm an engineer and really appreciate good engineering. The engineers at American Standard outdid themselves with this one. When you look in the tank, there is nothing special. Just the standard, old, fill valve with a float and the rubber plunger. How simple. But the plumbing design in the bowl must be something else.

I'm in awe of this thing. Especially since I'm in the middle of taking an anti-biotic, and my effluent is, well, a bit watery. You know what I mean. But in spite of that, I have a clean toilet!
