Quick answer: For most adults, yes. Taller (comfort height) toilets sit 17 to 19 inches from floor to bowl rim versus 14.5 to 16 inches for standard height, which reduces strain on knees and joints and makes sitting and standing easier — a real benefit for tall people, seniors, and anyone with mobility issues. The…
Quick answer: Yes. Kohler toilets are good — consistently among the most trusted in the industry. The company has built toilets since 1873, and its models are known for durable vitreous-china construction, reliable and efficient flushing systems, and designs that range from budget to luxury. Downsides are price (Kohler often costs more than builder-grade brands)…

Quick answer: It depends on the toilet’s age and type. Traditional gravity-flush toilets hold about 6 to 7 gallons (22–26 liters) per flush. Modern water-efficient models use 1.6 down to 1.28 gallons (6–4.8 liters) per flush, and ultra-high-efficiency toilets as little as 0.8 gallons (3 liters). Check the stamp inside your tank lid or behind…
Quick answer: Technically yes — you can install a regular (residential) toilet in an RV, but it is rarely a simple swap. The toilet must fit the small bathroom, stay within the RV’s weight capacity, and be adapted to RV plumbing with a flange adapter and a water line adapter, since RV pipe sizes differ…
Quick answer: Yes, a floor toilet can be converted to a wall mount, but it is a major job, not a swap. The wall must be opened and reinforced with a support frame (carrier) bolted to the studs, the water supply and waste lines rerouted into the wall, and a new wall-hung bowl fitted —…
Quick Answer: No — do not use Drano in a toilet. Its caustic chemicals generate heat and pressure that can crack porcelain, damage seals, and burst pipes (including PVC). Use a flange plunger or a toilet-specific auger instead. They are safer, cheaper, and more effective for toilet clogs. When faced with a stubbornly clogged toilet,…
Quick answer: To lower a toilet flange that sits too high, remove the toilet, unfasten the flange, and cut it down to finished-floor level — a hacksaw for PVC, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade for cast iron or metal. Then clean the surface, set a new wax ring, and reinstall the toilet with…
Quick answer: No — not all toilet paper is septic-safe. Standard toilet paper is designed to be flushed and breaks down in a septic tank, but thick, plush, quilted or heavily textured papers (3-ply and up) dissolve slowly, clump, and can cause clogs and backups. For a septic system, choose paper labeled septic safe, rapid…
