What do you do when it comes time to replace any of the internal components?? It's not like you can run to Walmart and get a new fill valve or flapper in an emergency! And I know Home Depot doesn't stock parts for this toilet.

You can use a standard fill valve for these, just aim the hose from it into the tank and then it does the same function which is fills the tank. At my work we have hundreds of these stealth tanks and it's not very often i have encountered an issue with them.

Weve had ours about 2 years too. It does flush but strange issues arising. Getting clogged. its that tiny hole at front of bowl. We were and still are getting black stuff out of that hole. It only peaked its head out after plunging it one time! I grabbed some tweazers and had to pull it. It seemed like wadded TP but all black like a big black worm. I had a wire with tiny brush on end still to use at apartments because my long hair clogged sink draines. I stuck that in hole and also the wire end. Seemed better by why is that hole so tiny and why did TP and mold get back clogged into it. All remedies of cleaning the bowl that now looks 80 years old also say "clean inside the tank"? No wa to get into this and Im presuming its a one way water flush? Like it is not sucking poop or mold into the tank anywhere?! We dont have hard water but its a mountain town. We can drink fresh great water out of the tap but the chrome taps in our remodeled bathroom in shower were getting a strange blue dot stain. We wipe those down after every shower. I dont understand how our older toilet, one still in guest house since 1993 does not have this issue at all and neigher did our old one in main house. It seems inferior ceramic in the bowl to me?

Do you actually like working with those “better than wax” rings? I e never been able to seat one properly. I went back to cheap old wax rings immediately.

I like them because I can correct mistakes while installing. With wax you get one chance. I would use either one , which ever is readily available.

My toliet just runs the water. The float is working the flapper isnt shutting properly.

Maybe the chain links are all tangled up, perhaps remove the tank cover and see if it appears that way.

I have the same one but I’m having issues with slow flushing it seems to me like a lot of people are getting wrong tank seal, the one I got is not like the one you are showing 19 seconds in.

I believe the issue is that some people are getting a red looking seal that only fits the big hole in the middle, seal on video is meant for middle hole and vacuum piece on the side that regular toilets don't have.

You probably can find the owner manual online. Just type make and model number and search for owners manual.

I installed 2 of the one-piece Glacier bay power flush toilets in my rental homes. The one-piece has a smaller foot print then the champion 4 toilet, so they work well in a small bathroom. I use champion 4 toilets currently in my primary home and had them 10 years, but I saw a test on KZread with another plumber testing kzread.info/dash/bejne/nG2NqdqvobvfdbA.htmlsi=5piazWSyJFNSgeSu toilets and the glacier bay power flush flushed 13 pool balls with one flush, even better then the 7 pool balls it claims it can flush The champion 4 could not even flush one pool ball. But they are both outstanding toilets. I like champion 4 with a 1.6 gallon flush too.

So you'd take the powerflush one piece over the champion 4? The kohler santa rosa 1.6 revolution 360 seems pretty nice too?
