Default toilet doesn't flush well

Any chance it's an older 1.6gpf toilet? those are notorious for
doing what you describe. I had a houseful of them, and if they only
stopped up 2-3 times a month, I would've been thrilled.

If that's the problem, you may want to invest in a newer 1.6gpf
toilet with a larger drain. I now have two of those, and they rarely
clog.


It is a Mansfield from June 1990. It has plenty of water.


Actually many of the newer 1.6 gallon toilets do a better job than some of
the 1990 vintage 3.5 gallon toilets. I've purchased two 1.6 gallon
Universal Rundles ... for bathroom renovations in two different old houses,
and both work much better than the 5 gallon toilets that they replaced.
