1984 Kohler Cayuga Tests

I expected better performance considering how much water it uses but the flush is a lot better than I thought.

[@christopherdickson2996]

The tank is literally big enough for an Olympic Swimming Pool - that aside this toilet did well despite the flush being a little slow (took all the items even though it struggled on the grocery bag/washcloth together and there was a slight hesitation taking the dishtowel). The bowl rinse is alright (could do a little better) but the clearance is great (would not expect anything less than great with the amount of water this toilet uses). I will rate this a 7.5/10 👍

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

These are really cool but I would prefer if they could design them to use less water.

[@taronjeroneharris1313]

That trapway is nice and round. I always liked those kind.🙂

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

They remind me of Penryns

[@cglplumbingoffical9601]

Agreed

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I absolutely love that thing! But that's a bit much water usage even for me!

[@jamalcitty2]

Flush rating is an A Performance rating is an A Bowl rinse rating is a B

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

This toilet overall did well

[@JagerSmokeyFN]

That toilet performed really well

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

For the amount of water it uses, I would expect it should.

[@darfieldzone5309]

I hope to find one of these BEASTS soon!!! 😁

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

That would be sweet!

[@Anonymous-il8yl]

You really should get a recirculating pump if you test toilets out and frequently flush them. Not only will you save you a ton of water, especially this particular water guzzler, but it will also not mess up your lawn or patio.

[@cameraredeye3115]

Agreed. This thing takes about 7 gallons of water with every flush. Most other toilets easily get away with half of that at most...

[@Anonymous-il8yl]

@@cameraredeye3115 agreed! Imagine your lawn dying, only to learn the cause was “over watering”. And imagine you water bill being, oh I don’t know…$5000 a month with that thing installed? Jeez, I would be broke

Toilet has a Excellent flush

[@cooperschwartz318]

Does this use 5 or 7 gallons?

7 for sure

[@AllAlbertasFixtures]

Amazing toilet and amazing flush, the water usage is a bit ridiculous

[@cameraredeye3115]

Ye this is about 7 gpf...

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

@Virginian Toilets And Restroom Tours It is the biggest tank I own, even bigger than a 40s Wellworth tank. I'll have to measure the water usage sometime.

[@darfieldzone5309]

This is such an AMAZING toilet!

is this tank as big as the 70's wellworths? Or 40's?

[@Pottymaker]

I love these! Tank on wall mounted bases is cool.

[@aldoayhoniz190]

This is a great toilet and an awesome performer, but how much water does it use? 70s toilets use about 5gpf, but this is a 80s one.

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

Even though this is from the 80s, it still uses more than the 70s ones.

[@darfieldzone5309]

I thought toilets had to be 3.5 gpf or less by the 1980’s? Were wall mounted tank toilets an exception back then like blowout toilets are an exception from the 1.6/1.28 gpf water laws today?

[@sachinramlogan421]

When I’m doing something that takes 1 min 11 minutes go by but when I’m waiting for a tank to fill it fells like 11minutes goes by in that 1 minute

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

Yeah, it feels like forever. Especially when you have one of these.

[@chuckiegarcia5095]

I wish you could use a PA tank. not only will you save water, but you don't have to wait for the tank to fill up.

It would just make the surface of the water move a little

[@CARma193]

What a waste of 7 gallons. It struggled on a washcloth and grocery bag!

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

Then the Class Fives come along with their 1.28 gallons and take it like nothing. But they have their own problems.
