    I installed Raritan Atlantes back in 2005 and have had zero issue with them. 32v, freshwater flush.

    I second Sky’s comment, however I don’t think they make them in 32 volts anymore, my two are 12 volt. John

    I replaced my VF with Raritan Elegance. One standard size and one elongated house size. Love them. Easy install and they work very well

    It was pretty much plug in. The Raritan accept 1” and 1 1/2” hoses so no issue connecting the existing hose.

    I really like the home size elongated bowl that I used in the master. Much more comfortable than the standard size I installed in the guest head. Only downside is that you have to flush longer and use more water. Although using more water helps reduce deposits and permeation in the hoses.

    Do you think the Raritan uses more water then the GM? Seemed like they use less. I almost always use the water saver button and it seems to clear most debris.

    My 53 had been converted with VF before I bought it in 2003

    The regular size Raritan doesn’t use much water. It the full size elongated version which does. The hole at the bottom of the bowl is elongated as well with a bigger opening and you flush twice as long.

    As mentioned it s a good thing in the long run to reduce deposits in the hoses anyway
