2. Kohler K-3987-0 Wellworth Dual-Flush Toilet

This model toilet is exactly the same as the model described above except for one very significant feature. It can save even more water because it has a dual flushing system. Depending how the flush on this model toilet is activated it will only use 1.1 or 1.6 gallons per flush.

Kohler Wellworth Toilet Series Key Features

• Two-piece construction

  This type of toilet design makes these toilets very easy to move, install and work on. There are some minor drawbacks with two-piece toilets true. That is somewhat harder to clean and are not as appealing aesthetically as single-piece toilet designs.

• Standard seat height

  The seat height on these models is close to 15 ½ inches when the seat is installed on them. That is a little lower than some like. Taller people will most likely not be as comfortable when using these model toilets.

• Class Five flush technology

  This line of toilets has a very well-designed flushing system. It is what Kohler calls their Class Five flushing technology. This technology provides for cleaner removal of solid waste from the toilet bowl.

• Water saving models

  All of the models in this series meet the minimal 1.6 gallons per flush water saving standards set by EPA guidelines. The dual flush models in the series are considered ultra-water saving models.

• Durable construction

  Like many other toilets in this budget range, it is made out of vitreous china. Nothing special here but it is known for being durable and easy to clean. It is also very smooth and retains its good looks without fading over time.

• Easy Installation

  Two-piece constructed toilets are very easy to handle and move around when installing. This is because since they are in two pieces you are only handling half the toilet weight at one time. Everything from the 12” rough into the three bolt floor attachment is standard in the industry.

• Warranty

  There is nothing special with the warranty that comes with this line of toilets. It is just a standard One-Year limited warranty. Still, a one-year warranty will give you some freedom from worrying about manufacturers defects for one year.
