if you are looking for a minimalist wc design, strong flushing and with built in bidet, then can consider the latest MODERN DEPOT one piece water closet

I'm curious how to tell the hole distance - Without actually dismantling the toilet bowl, is there a surefire way to know what is the hole distance from wall?

Is there diff hole size (diameter) to be concerned of as well, or the hole is always standard (1 size) only?

depends on the aesthetic of the previous toilet i guess.

some toilet you can clearly see the s bend without dismantling. then just measure from the wall the distance, from wall to middle of the hole would be the distance.

as for hole size it is always 4 inch diameter.

Hi, i just want to share my problem or maybe you can give some advice please . I bought a toilet bowl s-trap livinox brand. This bowl, when flush the water in tank will built up with the waste before slowly discharge away. Some other toilet bowl when flush the water from tank will push the waste to discharge. The problem im facing is this bowl frequently blocked, i think it is because of the design of the discharge method or is there any other reason?

I am about to replace my WC and found this. Great.
Both Johnson Suisse & Sorento can easily find replacement parts?
Can recommend me a budget WC with the following factors:
- Budget < 1k. Cheaper better
- Easy to find replacement parts
- Good quality
- P-trap

Anyone has installer contact and how much is the market price for WC replacement labor cost?

can anyone recommend wc that has water inlet from the top instead of the bottom of the flush tank?

noticed that most modern wc has water inlet from bottom but my experience when flush tank is dirty, the water will backflow into the cold water system of the whole house!

if u have water keep coming in (there is pressure) water cant backflow. Moreover the tank is only 6L, there wont b much pressure to backflow. Moreover water is coming down from the tank, so the tank water cant go against gravity upward into whole house system.

anyway if worry then jus add a one way valve at the inlet

may b old apartment using metal GI pipes, try adding a carbon filter near water meter if possible. BUt if pipes inside your house also metal pipes then no use. I saw some online add for pipe cleaning, that might help.
