Q:our plumber installed a Memoirs aqua piston toilet, which replaced an old 7-gal, wall-mounted tank model that we had used for over 20 years with NEVER a backup or flushing issue. Of course, we NEVER had to worry about powerful flushes with that sized-tank and the sound it made was very powerful (like a commercial toilet). We are happy with the new water-efficient toilet and are adjusting to the big difference in flush power. But the question is, is it normal for it to make a "glug, glug, glug" sound as it nears the end of flushing, or is this an installation problem? Also, the 7-gal tank took less time to fill than the 1.28. That can't be right, or is it normal for this toilet?

A: Hi, this is Laura with Kohler Co. I am happy to assist you with your question. Yes; the canister flush is fast and does make a big of a glug noise at the end of the flush. The fill valve may not be working correctly. Please call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-4KOHLER (1-800-456-4537) to discuss the issues with the fill valve and a replacement if needed. Thank you for choosing KOHLER.

Q:Hi. I purchased the Kohler Memoirs Classic 2-piece elongated toilet in white #K-3816-0. I want to purchase a quiet close toilet seat. What item # do you recommend? I read I have to stay in the Memoirs collection to coordinate.
However, I believe I read also the Kohler Rutledge Elongated seat #K4734-0 does coordinate?? Need response ASAP.

A: Hi, this is Laura with Kohler Co. I am happy to assist you with your question. Any of our Quiet-Close seats would be compatible with your Memoirs toilet. When installing, be sure to slide the seat as far forward as possible and the black hinge mounts should have the + facing the front of the toilet. Due to the ornate tank cover, ensure the tank is level and is installed as far back as possible when attaching to the bowl.

Q:Is AquaPiston noisier than regular gravity flush? I want a very quiet flush!

Answer This Question
A: Hi, this is Laura with Kohler Co. I am happy to assist you with your question. The AquaPiston canister flush valve is a gravity flush; however, it has a high velocity as the water rushes in quickly from all sides. It is a little noisier than the old style of flush valve with a flapper in which the water swirls around the bowl before exiting. The canister flush is a more powerful flush as well.

A: I would say it is either the same or a bit less. It is "quicker" because so much less water is used. I was worried about this, but have found that it is not a problem. It appears to be quite efficient. Hope this helps!
