Flushability
The Wellworth uses Kohler’s Class Five technology, a premier flushing mechanism that uses high-speed water flow to ensure reliable performance. The system, along with the toilet’s large flush valve, successfully removes bulk waste, significantly reducing chances of clogs.
The toilet uses the power of gravity, in addition to its precision-engineered tank, bowl, and trapway, to significantly increase suction strength; this means waste is effortlessly removed in a matter of seconds.
The Wellworth uses 1.28 gallons per flush, saving you thousands of gallons and hundreds of dollars a year on your water bill (when compared to traditional 1.6 GPF models).
Great Design
The toilet is available in white, biscuit, almond, and black black. The toilet requires a standard 12” rough-in and does not come with a seat or supply line; a round-front bowl, tank, tank cover, standard left-hand trip lever, bolt cap accessory pack, and tank accessory pack are included.
The Wellworth has a seat height of 14.5” and comes with a round bowl, meaning the toilet is not ADA compliant. Users that have difficulty sitting and standing up may have trouble using this toilet.
Optional Accessories
With the money you save by purchasing the Wellworth, take a look at the awesome Kohler seats you can buy to elevate your bathroom experience. The Cachet Quiet-Close seat eliminated unintentional seat slamming while the Purefresh seat comes with its own deodorizer.
Comparison
The Wellworth is one of Kohler’s cheapest models. It’s a simple toilet that gets the job done but doesn’t sacrifice flushing performance in any way. If you’re on a budget and need a sturdy find, the Wellworth is one of the best options on the market.
Other Kohler models, like the Cimarron or Tresham, are a bit more eye-catching due to their intricate design. They are also ADA compliant, making them more comfortable to sit on. That being said, purchasing a toilet requires knowing your priorities. For low-cost durability, the Wellworth is the way to go. For additional features, looking into more costly models might provide you with the comfort you’re searching for.
