Four Inch Flush Valve
One of the main selling points of the American Standard Champion 4 is its extra-wide 4-inch flush valve that provides plenty of room to evacuate waste, giving this model unprecedented flushing power. While we were reviewing this model, we could not clog it and are sure this model would suffer very few clogs while it’s in use.
Water-Saving
The American Standard Champion 4 puts a lot of emphasis on the environment and provides the consumer with a toilet that only uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush without sacrificing flushing power. Besides reducing your toilet’s environmental footprint, the reduced water usage will also cut your water bill helping the toilet pay for itself.
EverClean Surface
The EverClean surface on the American Standard Champion 4 is a glaze that prevents contaminants from sticking to it, so it stays cleaner longer and is easier to wipe down. The surface is also very smooth and slippery, allowing waste materials to pass through the drainpipe easier. The American Standard Champion 4 glaze also has antimildew and antimicrobial properties, helping you keep the bathroom clean even when you can’t be there.
The only downside to a glazed surface is that you can’t use bleach products, or it can destroy the surface. If you own an American Standard Champion 4, make sure you use a toilet cleanser free of bleach.
One-Piece Design
The one-piece design of the American Standard Champion 4 is both good and bad. It’s good because it makes it very easy to clean with no hidden areas where bacteria could hide or dirt can accumulate. The downside is that the whole toilet is quite heavy and will need to move into position all at once. Traditional two-piece designs make it easier to carry the toilet upstairs. A two-piece toilet also allows you the option to replace one of the parts if it has a problem, though it is uncommon to do so.
FAQ
How Do I Clean the Toilet? The Instructions Say No Harsh Chemicals.
You should avoid bleach and scouring-type cleaners as they can damage the glazing. However, you can use any cleanser that specifies it’s for toilets.
Can the Seat Be Changed From the Slow Closing to a More Decorative Style?
Yes, the toilet seat is the standard size, and most third-party seats will fit it.
What Is the Difference Between a “Normal Height” and the “Right Height?”
A standard toilet seat is 15 inches above the ground, while a Right Height toilet seat is 16.5 inches above the ground. The comfort height toilets available are usually between 17 and 19 inches.
Does This Model Come With a Wax ring and Floor Bolts?
No, the floor bolts come with the wax ring, which you purchase separately.
What Is the Difference Between the Champion 4 and the Champion Pro?
Both models are identical internally, and the differences are only cosmetic. Both sell in different regions.
Can This Toilet Flush a Four-Pound Pot-Roast?
No, you should not flush food down the toilet.
