Toilet repairability (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/homeimprovement
 

Our old cheap toilet you can't get parts for anymore (dual flush). I remember my dad fixing old singl-flush toilets with just standard parts from the hardware store. But these new dual-flush toilets are super proprietary. Are single-flush toilets more standardized to where I would be able to easily find parts? I am thinking yes, but the plumbing parts store says otherwise. Am I missing something?

Edit: to clarify, my wife and I hate the dual flush so we're going to buy a new toilet. I'm more wondering if the NEW toilet will be easily repairable. Sounds like maybe the old one is more repairable than I thought, though.

I wasn't sure how to find the model. I know it's AquaSource but when I googled that brand I came up with a lot of replacement parts that didn't look at all similar to what is in there. Maybe I just don't know what I'm looking at ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm pretty handy but plumbing is not my thing. You'd think fixing a toilet would be easy lol
