A toilet is a long-term purchase, so a few checks before buying pay off. Here is the Sacramento guide.
The rough-in
Measure the distance from the wall to the floor bolts — usually 12 inches — so the new toilet fits.
The shape and height
Choose round or elongated, and standard or comfort height, to suit the space and the users.
The flush
Look for a strong, well-reviewed flush and, ideally, a WaterSense efficiency rating.
The quality
A one-piece toilet is easier to clean; a quality flush valve means fewer repairs. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In Sacramento, hard water favors easy-clean surfaces.
