Man, I hear you. At my place, we swapped out the old tank for a shiny new low-flow, and it’s been a mixed bag. The first week, I was convinced I’d ins...

You’re not alone—half flushes just don’t cut it in a lot of places, especially older homes. I’ve seen more than one “eco” toilet turn into a headache ...
