          Get RID of the Gerber and get a GOOD BRAND and DUMP the compressed air garbage GO WITH Crane Gravity THE BEST one for the dollar.

            It has been my experience that if you use a regular wax ring seal, you will find it will blow out under your conditions. There are alternatives. You should be using a fiber based seal that can stand up to the blow out conditions for your water closet.
            Talk to your local plumbing contractor for details or availability
