I have 2 TOTO model CST743S toilets that were installed about a month ago. While both flush fast, there is almost no water flowing down the rear of the bowl. Loads of water flows in the front of the bowl. The tank dumps fast. If I go #2 the back of the bowl is a mess until I bucket flush it. This is with both of them. A neighbor that had 3 of them installed about the same time is so POed he took a sledge hammer to them. Both of us used to have and really like old timer American Standard (5gallons per flush) late 40s vintage toilets that came with our houses. I still have one of mine in the basement and it works fine. The reason for replacing my other two was that the tanks had worn thin and started leaking. I thought that TOTO was one of the good toilets. Now I really wish I had gone with something else. Do you know if it's just this model? Are all gravity flush water saver toilets POC. Does anyone have any ideas on fixing this? I pushed wire through the holes in the back of the bowl on both of mine. A tiny bit of water comes out the holes but most is only in the front. I feel that I must either find and fix and fast or like my angry neighbor bash mine and then find a good replacement. My neighbor was lucky and found a NOS (new old stock) American Standard Cadet 3.2 Gallon/flush one and had it installed. I'm not sure about his others, but people can live with just one good working toilet if they have to.
