Jacuzzi Pomarico Two-Piece Elongated 1.6 GPF Standard Height Toilet

Jacuzzi Pomarico Two-Piece Elongated: Decorative Premium with 1.6 GPF Heavy Flush

The Jacuzzi Pomarico Two-Piece Elongated 1.6 GPF Standard Height Toilet is Jacuzzi's most decorative two-piece — featuring sculptural traditional design language with decorative tank profiles and refined bowl edges, configured with the higher 1.6 GPF flush volume rather than the modern 1.28 GPF water-saving standard. At $269-$329 retail, Pomarico targets traditional bathroom renovations where decorative design language matters and higher flush performance is preferred (older plumbing, smaller drain pipes, low-slope drain runs).

Pomarico's Design Position

Pomarico is Jacuzzi's most decorative two-piece — more sculptural and traditional than Tucana (utilitarian), more decorative than Estasi (transitional), and the most architectural in the Jacuzzi catalog. The tank features decorative profiles with vertical articulation rather than flat planes; the bowl has refined chamfered edges; the proportions are tuned for visual presence rather than visual restraint. For traditional and Mediterranean-influenced bathroom renovations, Tuscan and Old World design language, and decorative period-piece renovations, Pomarico delivers Jacuzzi's most aesthetic-priority configuration.

1.6 GPF Flush Volume

Pomarico uses 1.6 GPF (gallons per flush) rather than the 1.28 GPF WaterSense standard. Higher flush volume scenarios where 1.6 GPF makes sense:

• Older homes with 2-inch drain pipes requiring more aggressive flush velocity
• Pre-1992 properties with original plumbing sized for 1.6+ GPF
• Extended horizontal drain runs to the main waste stack
• Light commercial use with higher use intensity
• User preference for stronger flush performance regardless of WaterSense

Note: 1.6 GPF does NOT meet WaterSense — utility rebates available for 1.28 GPF and below typically don't apply to Pomarico. Also note: some municipalities require 1.28 GPF or lower for new installations; verify local code before specifying.

Standard Height (Not Comfort Height)

Pomarico uses standard height (~15 inches floor-to-rim) rather than ADA comfort height (~17 inches). Standard height is appropriate for:

• Children's bathrooms where shorter users benefit from lower seat height
• Traditional renovations matching original lower-height toilets
• Specific user preference for traditional toilet ergonomics

For most modern installations and ADA-compliance renovations, comfort height is preferred. If comfort height is required, look at Estasi or Bellevista in the Jacuzzi catalog.

Two-Piece Construction

Standard two-piece (tank and bowl separate). Decorative tank profile with sculptural details. FluidMaster-licensed flush mechanism with universal parts availability.

Pomarico ships in Glossy White only — Jacuzzi does not currently offer Biscuit or Bone on Pomarico (those are Estasi-only).
