that only works after you flood the whole hotel room.;)

Sounds like you need a new toilet.

+1. I've never plungered a toto.

Revisting this thread because I'm going to replace a toilet in my house and not sure which one to buy. I fear the problem is that the toilet is at the opposite end of the house from the waste line that goes to the septic tank and the line has minimal fall. Is there a difference in various toilet's ability to launch their contents down the line? I need something that will rocket 2 pounds of kielbasa 75 feet down a nearly horizontal pipe.

Sort-of related story:
in 1983 we were camped just outside beautiful barstow Ca, near daggett along with about 1000 other people.
We weren't really camped, more like kicking back comfortably in a motor home.
All except one guy in our group. He was really nervous about motor-sickle racing more than 100 miles across the desert next day to state line nevada.

he decided in the middle of the night that he had to go take a dump. he came back about a half hour later, .... cept he didn't have a shirt on no more.
We asked why and he said don't worry about it, mind your own bidness, etc. kinda grumpy so we let it go.

Years later he tole us what happened. he had wandered around in the dark til he found one of the 15 or so porta-pottys that were lined up (for 1000 people).
he opened the door, dropped trowell and sat down. With a splash.
Darned thing was full to the brim and there he was with the twins treading water so to speak. Wasn't really water tho.
Then there was no TP, so he took off his shirt and cleaned up the best he could.
he didn't get to shower tim the next night.
I'da prolly ended it all right there iffn that were me.


That's payback for JP's gross post.

For the O.P., I think you should re-examine your dietary choices to include a daily yogurt, or maybe something other than beef, and bread. Whn that s taken care of, you will no longer need to wipe 5 times to get the taint smears.

12oz h2o + 2 tblsp of Metamucil @ 10pm=gravity fed 7am BM w/ 1 courtesy wipe.

You got a plunger?
I have plumbing problems....... but I'm sure your plumbing's fine. It's just that I've been kind of bound-up lately. Probably because I eat alot of cheese.
Can't get enough of that stuff. I feel like a big mouse

Never needed a plunger with a TOTO toilet.

Buck Russell: Do you think she hates me?
Maisy Russell: With a passion.
Buck Russell: Really? Do you think it's the hat?
Maisy Russell: No.
Buck Russell: No? A lot of people hate this hat. It angers a lot of people, just the sight of it. Ah, I'll tell you a story about that on the way to school.

Come on, you can be honest. They hate me, don't they ?

Just your guts, Sir.

I would guess you would have a problem getting any toilet to work well in that situation.

Is there any way you can increase the fall of the line?

you really only want a 2% drop right? that way the liquids dont out-race the solids.

when i had my line redone..i jumped in the trench with a smart level.

This seems like the most appropriate place to put this:

American Standard, model Cadet 3. Should be able to flush anything. Right at around $200.00 or less at the store that rhymes with Toes. Is available in different heights for better disabled access and your choice of limited colors.

you guys a sick f#####S...anyway the survey to misleading....birds actually eat about 2 times their body weight a day.

I did not know about the 2% fall. Mine is almost 6% (4.5/76 feet). It looks pretty consistent. So maybe the problem is simply that I need a decent throne. I saw a Toto Drake II on line for $202 and free shipping.

wait!! i'm not a plumber..i only know what i read in a text book. that 2% number stuck with me. a toto is amazing.

Oh great. Now you tell me.
I've never stalked anyone on line, but if I end up with a basement full of sh**t I'm coming after you.

For some reason my son (10 yo) drops logs that would make me cry if I had to pass them. We have simultaneously had multiple thrones clogged because of him. I am now teaching him how to unclog his own mess. We have tried stool softeners and laxatives, to only moderate success. I never let my wife use the plunger. Once she figured the best way to deal with a clogged toilet was to lift the tank lid and pull the flapper valve directly. I watched from the shower as sewage spread across the floor.

Actually, that's the way I deal with the current issue. I lift the flapper and let the bowl fill right up to the rim, then close it. The higher water level provides more head pressure to force the offending matter down the hole.

Somehow this Thread makes me feel right at home.

No surprise. You're the one who started it.

Try more oatmeal with/and/or raisins and.or grapes...if he likes any of that stuff...

Yogurt and bran muffins, and tell him to go when the urge first hits, not when it's unbearable to stand it any longer.

Yup.... Works 99% of the time. :)

I eat like a monster, I can't tell you the last time I needed to plunger a toilet.... Oh years ago when my then teenage daughter thought it was OK to flush some feminine hygiene products down.....one of the downfalls of being a single father with a psychotic ex, you miss some of the important lessons of life discussions!

Terrible idea. Because when it doesn't work, your plunger then overflows the toilet.

Never. But then solid stools are few and far between...
