? What makes a toilet flush better?
A strong flush combines bowl design, a wide glazed trapway and an efficient flush valve. A high MaP score signals it can clear more waste in a single flush with less water.
? What is a MaP score?
MaP (Maximum Performance) is an independent flush test measured in grams of waste cleared in one flush. Higher is better. Scores of 800 to 1000 grams indicate a very strong flush.
? Are dual-flush toilets worth it?
For many homes, yes. A dual-flush lets you use a lighter flush for liquid waste, which can meaningfully lower water use over a year while keeping full power available when needed.
? What is rough-in and why does it matter?
Rough-in is the distance from the wall to the center of the floor drain bolts. Measure it before buying; 12-inch is standard, but 10-inch and 14-inch models exist for non-standard bathrooms.
? Do I need a comfort-height toilet?
Comfort-height (ADA height) bowls sit about 17 to 19 inches tall, closer to standard chair height, which makes sitting and standing easier for taller adults, older adults and anyone with joint or mobility concerns.
