First off you DON'T need a new to[let or your pipes replaced. Jameson was completely inaccurate in his solution/
A few questions and we'll start the repair. Please explain "gushing". Does water erupt out of the bowl? Do you live in a condo? How many floors? What floor are you on? Any other problems? Back to you, Tom |

No water is "gushing" out of stool. That is the best way I can describe the sound. I live in a single family, 1 story home. No other problem (right now) with the commode; but unrelated, my shower head is spraying & squirting water willy-nilly over top of shower door out onto the floor. Can you help with this also?

Sounds like you need a new flapper valve. If the flapper is leaking, the tank will refill every so often. As for the banging pipes, you may need to repair or replace the fill valve, as it sounds like it is shutting off quickly (acting as a quick close valve) causing a bit of water hammer in your pipes.
As for the shower head, you can take it off and clean it up real good or simply install a new shower head and that should take care of that problem. |

Bought 2 new Toto Drakes and installed them. After they are flushed and almost finished refilling they make a gasping noise which is coming from the greenish box in the tank. Is this normal? I was under the impression these were pretty quiet toilets. Should I contact Toto about this?
