Good morning,
I was convinced by my plumber and my general contractor that the toilets would be installed higher than "normal." But it sounded like this higher installation has actually become normal by now. However, the screed layer guy made a mess in the upstairs bathroom. Somehow it is lower than planned. But this was only noticed relatively late. Now we already live in the house and quickly found out that the toilet on the ground floor is fine. (Still weird if you are not used to the height from the old rented apartment.) But upstairs the toilet is definitely too high. My wife can hardly get her feet on the floor.
Now my general contractor said there is a so-called "Pfuscherset" with which you can actually set the toilet higher. He immediately called his regular plumber and he confirmed this and even said it is better than the other way around. Because it is less prone to clogging. I didn't understand that at all but okay. Then I called my plumber, who I specially contracted for the heating-sanitary trade, and told him about it. At first, he acted as if I was talking nonsense. But he wanted to inquire. He has now called two manufacturers (Grohe and another one) but they apparently said that is not possible. Now he wanted to ask Villeroy and Boch. The toilet and the concealed cistern are also from that brand. That was a week ago. Unfortunately, he is a bit unreliable.
Is there anyone here who knows about this or has had a similar problem? Does it work with this Pfuscherset? Or are there other possibly better solutions?
