I'm asking this question here because I'm not having much luck sifting through the manufacturer to somebody who can give me a definitive answer...
I have a Toto DualFlush in my daughter's recent bathroom remodel; choice of .9G/pf and 1.6G/pf. Totally does the job except for one major design flaw (unless I can adjust it). There is the main, typical bowl shape, then in the bottom of that bowl is a secondary, much-smaller chamber wherein sits the standing water. The factory-spec waterline is about 3-4 inches down into that smaller chamber at the bottom of the bowl.
Here's the issue: for anything aside from a "direct hit" of fecal waste into that small reservoir of standing water, the waste hits onto and smears the dry part of the bowl. And, with the quick flush cycle it's never enough to clean the bowl. The constant result is that the waste then either dries onto the bowl (it's a teenager's bathroom, and it typically stays for the parents to tend to later) or one has to (almost always) manually wipe it down after each use.
So, sorry for the long monologue, but I'm hoping there's some adjustment (or workaround) that would let me raise the standing water level in the bowl. It's a quality product otherwise, but this is a big Achilles' heel.
Any Toto experts out there?
