Life with Toto

Toto. |
It's plugged yet again.
We old folks can still deal with it, but we keep getting older.
Toto replaced one of our three 20-year-old American Standard toilets, which we were told were junk.
Well, one was semi-plugged with salt deposits, but the other two worked fine.
I suppose relative to our old toilets, a lo-flo toilet uses less water per flush.
But that presumes we flushed our old toilets every time, which we didn't.
I find I have to double-flush Toto to get it to compute.
A critique noted, quite rightly, double-flushing a toilet isn't saving water.
Yeah, right!
Nor is filling a bucket to help Toto.
Better yet is our plumber noisily insisting all things wrong with the plumbing in our house are a result of our tankless water-heater.
Such things are reprehensible and of-the-Devil.
He would never install one in a million years.
We go with him because he replaced two leaky sink-traps, which another plumber claimed were fine.
But as far as I know, Toto doesn't use hot water.
• RE: “We old folks......” —We're both 66. (“We” is me and my wife of 42+ years, “Linda.”)
• RE: “A critique noted......” —I also post these blogs to MPNNow, the web-site for the Messenger Newspaper. The critique responded to that. —The “Messenger Newspaper” is the Canandaigua Daily-Messenger, from where I retired over four years ago. Best job I ever had. (“Canandaigua” [“cannon-DAY-gwuh”] is a small city nearby where we live in Western NY. The city is also within a rural town called “Canandaigua.” The name is Indian, and means “Chosen Spot.” —It’s about 15 miles away.)
• A “tankless water-heater” has no water-tank. It heats the water as it flows past a burner. Our plumber's assertion was that such things never flow much water, which ours does.
