Just wanted to mention that if you do want to take out your floor tiles you should have them tested for asbestos. They look very similar to the ones we had in our old sunroom, which had asbestos in them, so they may need to be safely removed.<br />Also, sadly Caroma no longer manufacture in Australia - they're all made in Asia now. The toilets are designed in Australia by an Australian company, but they shut manufacturing down locally a while ago. Some plastic parts are still made here, but they announced this year they're closing that down too and shifting it offshore as well.<br />Hope you're seeing the water savings though - the old ones certainly used up a lot of water compared to the new models!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-1794893070281381122014-08-26T14:05:06.036+10:002014-08-26T14:05:06.036+10:00Ugly loo be gone!

We have just installed a shiny new throne as well, oh to have a toilet that actually flushes I cant stop talking about it!!Michelle {Jarrah Jungle}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06787886183163179543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-62537973098508389432014-08-26T13:55:44.623+10:002014-08-26T13:55:44.623+10:00We've been loo shopping too!

In wall cisterns great in the new bit but have to have the older sort in the old bit where the walls are double brick, horse hair and limestone plaster!

It was a little difficult when I hired a plumber to install it, because a part was missing and it wasn't easy to find, but we did eventually find a plumbing supplier in town who carried Caroma parts. Did you get the single or dual flush? I can't tell for sure from your picture. I got the dual, and I really like it.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-2820453561530299712014-08-22T20:31:09.958+10:002014-08-22T20:31:09.958+10:00You got a free Caroma toilet!
