Hello,
I just purchased this toilet for my downstairs half bath and when the plumber installed it the tank was sitting right against the wall. He flushed the toilet a couple of times but it did not flush completely. He found out that this type of toilet needs to be away from the wall slightly as the toilet is a suction type toilet that needs air behind the tank. He told me he would have to put an offset flange in to move the toilet tank away from the wall and would have to break up some of the tile I have on the floor in order to do it. Are there any other options or should I just return the toilet and get a different one? Do they make any type of offset flanges that would work so the tile would not have to be torn up? Thanks
