can this be installed on the second floor of a home? Does it require a special p-trap or inventive plumbing for 2nd floors?

It can easily be installed on a second floor. Standard plumbing is required. The drain is in the center of the bathtub. We will gladly send you a template and color samples if you would be so kind as to send us your address. Thank you!

Mine is on the second floor. The plumbers could not put in an overflow because the floor tile was already down. But, I like my tub very much I just have to be careful not to leave my room when the tub is filling.

Hi, mine is installed on a second floor. The only issue we had was you need to be able to set it in place and access from below to secure the dain. In other words the drainage that came with it did not allow to be tighten from the top. Hope it helps

You need a 2X2 available othe counter bottom and need to connect it yo the water pipes. With basic knowledge you can install it in about one or two hours. The water flavor and quality is worth the trouble.

My guess is that because the pressure is less than in home plumbing, this would work. It might be hard to wrap it tightly around small flexible tubing. This needs to be stretched and wrapped tightly.

Yes. Mine is in the basement. It can be installed anywhere that meets the clearance, fresh air, and venting requirements. Consult a licensed plumber or your local code official. It's possible to burn down your home or asphyxiate yourself if you do it wrong. It is, by the way, a great heater and a good buy.

Hi there. Yes, from my personal experience, I have one unit on 2nd floor, 1st floor and basement in my home. Hope this helps.

I used the same 1 1/2" pvc straight up through the ceiling. It works perfectly. And yes, use a p trap

I do not see why not. This simply allows air from the room to be pulled into discharge pipe for drainage without letting sewer gasses leak back out when not draining. I'd suggest asking the local building code guy in your town too. It may be effective but not code in a specific town.

Not sure? I installed in the stairway down to my basement. I have one on my security system on the 2nd floor.

I had a plumber install and he did not see need for attaching to the wall or the floor. Just sits on the floor of the cabinet and works great..

The confined space of being under my sink was more of a hassel than the actual mounting. The instructions are fairly straight forward, and I think most people could install it without a problem. I wouldn't imagine you would need a plumber.

Yes down to the trap. All the hardware included and easily installed. Just takes time and laying on your back under the sink but is well worth it.

You will not harm the plumbing. Think of water going down, & the +/- cup of water in the trap.I would first try a plunger with HOT water on the first floor, then treat the first floor, and then treat the basement (in the same night). We have used a plunger every night before the treatment, to try to break up the blockage. By doing both drains each night you will use up more Bio Clean, but it's less $ than paying a plumber. Repeat for 5 days. Be patient.

I have one installed. I never thought about stepping on it until this question, so off I went into the area of the basement that nobody goes into to give it a test. In my installation, it's not particularly easy to step on due to the pipe placement, but I did manage it. It flexed as I did so and doesn't feel particularly safe, I wouldn't advise it for more than an accidental step while working on other equipment in the area. I wouldn't ever install it in a place where I would step on normally or with any frequency.

Stephen, We uncover lots of pipes on the wall and there was no way to install Toto in the wall (no room), so we give up and return it back. We went with plan B. It is good to have many options/plans when you renovate a bathroom because you never know what might get uncover while tear down walls or check the older pipes. Kind regards,

Josh this toilet does not have the internal p-trap. The only thing there is a valve guillotine style that leaves a little water into the toilet, causing the odor does not go up. I think this valve should have the same purpose as the p-trap. Hope this helps you. Paulo Ricardo

Not with the second floor. A rabbit just needs on floor with places to hide.

It has to be installed near and piped to a duct. It will not work with a hot water heating system.
