avoid the power flush models at all costs unless you live alone.
they sound like a jet engine on takeoff.......
we replaced our water waster years ago and i regret that a lot.
lets just say that my output can be large diameter and hard at times,
whicjh clogs toilet......
the old water piggie had no trouble in all those years.
one day i will go to canada and bring back a regular water waster,
they are still sold in canada, and can be bought on e bay
