Welcome to the home of one of the largest toilet collections on youtube! This channel features hundreds of videos of toilets and other various fixtures flushing and performing other tests
All that i have seen of this model has a lot more water flowing from the rim jets forming the famous water tongue confluence of a straight flush Madera into the trapway. The siphon jet hole seems much larger, which would explain the differences. Your flush is way too short. I'm comparing this against all those identical Kingston models I've seen personally in California state parks and some national parks.
Awesome forward trap swirlies! Unfortunately I had the straight flush Case in a couple places growing up. Hated it. We called these types of terlits "smiling cyclops that like to eat 💩!" 🤣 🤣 🤣
I have a series 1.0 Numi white. From a medical perspective, a black bowl does not allow one to "check" things out in the bowl, for health reasons. Should one have blood or other issues in the stool, the black bowl would make it more difficult to see. The same applies in a different way for cooking vessels, a white ceramic, or stainless steel pan will give a better visual as to how the food is cooking.
@@Zafir89 It has a backup battery but after that dies you’re out of luck. Not good but to be fair if you’re buying this toilet at retail you can probably afford a generator for your house too haha
It will flush manually in a power outage, even a long term power outage and if in a real pinch, pour a bucket of water down the bowl to flush. Naturally, without power it works as a standard toilet, obviously none of the fancy features will work. I am not aware of any battery in the unit, at least with the original Numi.
@@kennixox262 The battery is removable and on the back of the toilet. I’m not sure if it depends on the year but I have an original Numi from around 2020 and it just unclips. It needs the battery because there is a black semi ball valve (not sure of the real name) in the trapway that rotates during a flush. If that valve gets stuck closed like it was on mine when I got it, the toilet can’t flush. So in the event of a power outage the battery will control that valve as well as the ones that control the flow of water. They made it really complicated for some reason but it’s still cool haha
@@KDMCPlumbing Will have to look, it is from 2016. Must be around the speaker or the light panel. Never looked. Thankfully here in Las Vegas, the power never goes out.
Been a minute since I've seen anything from you! Also, I feels like these Comptons were at their best in the later years compared to the earlier ones, and the results of these tests speak to support that
Nice tests on these! Also, have you seen the new fixtures I’ve gotten recently? This year, I managed to get a 1962 “Standard” Alta, a 1966 American Standard Lynbrook, and a 1956 “Standard” Sanistand, and even a 1991 NOS Kingston WG and some others. I thought of your collection when I got those because you have those as well but made in different years.
@@aftplumbingofficial I have seen a few of those. Great finds! I’m glad they went to someone that will actually set them up. Most of the time when I get fixtures they sit around for years before I finally get around to testing them lol
Cool tests! The slow motion flush was amazing! I sure liked my 1951 Compton when I had it installed. Performance wise, it worked at least as well as the 46 Cadet and seldom clogged.
@@vintagekohler6085 Thanks! Both my 1952 and Canadian Compton (which I don’t remember the year of right now lol) were great while installed. I’d really like to install a flushometer Modernus some day
Amazing toilets! It's really interesting how they use the 4049 tank on the older style bowl for a little while. It's also interesting how there are slight differences despite them both looking relatively the same. I have a tank from 1945 that would match your white bowl if you like it, although it has a large chip in the front. That glaze roughness is really frustrating and it has affected quite a number of my toilets. I still haven't found the cause.
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Thanks! I have a tank from my 2nd gen Cadet that I use for it. Yeah I’m not too sure about the roughness either. I know it can definitely be caused by certain chemicals and by materials harder than the glaze but it’s on so many fixtures that it’s hard to believe everyone is just cleaning their toilets with the wrong chemicals or with really abrasive brushes or something
@@KDMCPlumbing I'm thinking it might be from chlorine or something. I've noticed that it is only below the water line so it has to be something in the water because people scrub all over the sides of the bowl and it doesn't happen anywhere but below the water line.
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations That definitely makes sense. Some of my bowls are worn down on the entire inside on the bowl. For those it could also be from hard scrubbing over a long time or a combination with chemicals. But yeah the ones where it’s just under the water line I think have to caused by something in the water
This is a great test! The microfiber will cling to any defects in the trap way thus revealing poor design or quality control issues! Thanks for these great tests!
