Answer This Question

A:  Hi Mel Mine has never sweated but have never had one that was insulated looked to see if I could find one and nothing, you might try warmer water for tank or an in-wall system like KOHLER In-Wall Tank and Carrier System Model# K-6284-NA. Maybe someone else has had one that is insulated. Sweating is just from very cold water in a warm room, would check with a local plumber maybe they can help

A:  Mel, Thanks for the question on the American Standard Cadet 3 Powerwash rim toilet. This not is not insulated and unfortunately we do not offer a toilet with a 10" rough in that is also insulated. We only offer this in a 12" rough in. Your American Standard Consumer Connection Team.

              A:  The Fluidmaster flapper has settings on it from zero to ten. The higher you set it the more water is released and the more powerful the flush. It comes from the factory set at the lowest setting and the manual doesn’t have any info about this. Probably because the higher the setting the more water you use, thus exceeding the 1.28 gal water wise savings. I found that setting the flapper to the middle at ‘5’ increased the flush power enough to clear the ‘big ones’ and minimal amount of extra water used. If you set it at highest setting of ‘10’ you get the most powerful flush but definitely uses much more water and the tank takes longer to fill. Also, be sure the water level is set correctly in the tank. The sticker in the tank says 7/16 below the overflow tube. Or about half an inch. You adjust the fill valve screw to do this.

                A:  Try push the lever and hold. It is not like other toilet.

                Answer This Question

                A:  I have been out of town for a little while and you probably have an answer but I will add my observation repairing a toilet tank. I have had the issue you described when I installed the Cadet 3 toilet and when I replaced the flushing valve and toilet tank flapper on an existing toilet. It seems the new flappers tend to descend quickly and do not allow the tank to flush correctly. The adjustments I did to correct the issue are as follows, the chain from the tank leaver to the flapper must be as short as possible but leave a tiny bit of slack to allow the flapper to fully seat. When you flush you must hold the leaver fully down until a full flow is engaged. The water level in the tank should be set to the proper height. This issue seems to be with new equipment the older equipment did not need to be so carefully adjusted. JOL

                  Q:Should I have to hold the handle down to get a complete flush on the Cadet 3? If I don't, waste is still left in the bowl. Could the flapper be closing too soon? How do I adjust it?

                  A:  ctanri, the handle does need to be pushed all the way down to complete the flush. You will want to make sure there is not to much slack on the chain, only enough for the flapper to seat properly and the water level inside of the tank should be 1/2" to a 1/4" under the overflow tube.

                    Q:I'm interested in the Cadet 3 toilet, Model Number(s): 270CA.101.020. But your "specs" don't seem to list anything about the bowl height. Could you please give that information. Is it a "Tall" toilet? If not, how many inches lower is it?
