I don’t know about you, but I am ready to blow up a few toilets! Well, not THAT way… I open myself up to you, my Fraternity, for help.
A couple of years ago I replaced all four builder-grade toilets (you know, $85 for bowl and tank combo, Made in Mexico) because they clogged so easily. I asked around and got the one-piece Kohler turbo-swirl, maxo -flush, yadda, yadda toilets. They might be a smidge better, but not much! At least they are quiet.
We still have a little 11 year old at home. She can clog a toilet every day, at will! She will come out and say, “Good luck with THAT one, Dad.” You think I’m kidding…
I heard from a couple of different plumbers that the Toto power-flush toilets are good, and only about $400 installed (here in Virginia). I am up to my gills in frustration, and perhaps something else too, but WHO HAS A TOILET SUGGESTION?? I am not joking here!
I want to throw away my 18 plungers, 2 snakes and water blasters (don’t waste your money…). Please let me know what you suggest!!
American Standard Champion…very hard to clog…thier add is flushing 2 dozen golf balls…I’ve put a good number in without a complaint so far…cost around 250.00 at home centers…jim
My old toilet could barely flush down mere toilet paper half the time. The Champion I replaced it with 4 years ago has yet to not make whatever has been put in disappear without a trace. It was well worth the extra $$$.
Michael - I am not sure my bathroom could handle that wave pictured on the Vacuity site, but that looks like a good toilet!
Jack - between your girls and mine we probably should NOT ever vacation at the same hotel…
I saw a show on HGTV about an expo where they featured the American Standard Champion golf ball test and I was interested - but, it was a commercial! However, with your recommendation(s) the picture changes…
I will go and investigate both toalays - thanks to all of you!
Doug, that’s cruel. All you need to do is reduce the ammount of fibre in their diet and make them wash down every meal with a 6 pack of Grolsch :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :shock:
In other parts of the world they have this hose thingy–water, with precise aim goes further than a roll of TP. They make a heated water version of it as well and mounts like a toilet seat. Just tap the water fom the toilet supply line.
Having a stopped up toilets really stinks. What a crappy way to ruin a day. hehe
Gerber makes a tiolet called the POWERFLUSH. I do not know how much they cost, and they are REALLY noisy, espicially during a middle of the night session, but they flush like this.
This is good stuff… !! I don’t quite know what to say, though it is hard to see the computer screen through the tear in my eye…
Mark, been there too! Hard to flush during a 9 incher… (delicate I know), and plunging or cutting up made her vomit, complicating the original problem! Still, Father of the Year should still go your way.
Doug - they just sneak food, or swipe the dog’s…
Great plan Gerr!! I don’t do alcohol, so I am not sure what Grolsch is, but assume my daughter could not buy it on her own…
Marcel - TP isn’t the problem and we use Costco TP, not Charmin. What I really need are some good old black market Canadian toilets!
Greg - I have lived in other parts of the world and they basically have a hole in the floor… pretty messy with all the associated that your mind just imagined. Guaranteed no clog - that is, if you can get close enough to the hole to actually use it - you know, splatter? And be sure not to slip on the, um, well, ice!
Michael - that is a good video. It is what the Toto’s do. I will look into the Gerbers. Thanks!
