Does anyone know of a chemical

toilet
trap? �I have 3 almost identical
toilets and most suffer from too small
opening

one developed the ability to catch
toilet paper

what kind of toilets are they?
They are American Standard, one piece,
elongated bowl, with a name
that started with "H". �But it is not
any of the current models. �These were
purchased about 8 - 10 years ago. �The
oldest 2 were a different model
name .... the newest one (different

and I'm glad to see they don't offer
them any more.

take a look at water level in tank,
the earliest version of the water
savers dropped the water level a lot,
but otherwise were regular
units.

on these you can increase the level
of the water and improve things a
lot

Well, I am very close to the top of
the overflow tube already. I often
thought of lengthening it a little.
Maybe I'll try that ..... but then again,
I plan on selling, hopefully by the
end of the year. But it is a constant
irritation.

I'd like to follow up on my own thread
..... many months later. I added a
piece of plastic pipe to the overflow
tube and increased the water by only
1/2 to 3/4" and the toilet now works
very well. I'm sure the 1.6 GPF is now
a bit higher, however. you can't beat
success. Thanks for the suggestions.

The secret is in the method that you flush it don.t flick the handle
hold it till the water has gotten as high as it can in the bowl and
release it you then have used all the water avaible.
