High Efficiency, Dual Flush Toilet
The high-efficiency Toto Aquia dual flush toilet enables users to select the level of water used each time the toilet is flushed — 1.6 gallons for heavy or bulk waste or 0.9 gallons, for light or liquid waste.
The toilet has a gravity flush with a washdown system that directs 100% of the water through the rim to keep the bowl clean. The sides of the unit’s bowl are pitched to force water toward and through its large 2 5/8″ trapway.
Other features: flapperless flush valve; sculpted, skirted bowl; wide neck; dual-button flush actuator is integrated into the lid.
