My story is intermittent poor flush. Did the auger thing. Pulled the
toilet. Ran hose in top and bottom directions. Nothing. Then just
happened to move it right and out comes a toothbrush. SWMBO dumped dirty
bucket of water down the toilet. Cleaning brush not visable.

Oh well. **** happens.

Some **** is worse than other ****.
I have a Tramco lift system in my house.
*Everything* goes through the pump.
After almost 50 years the pump started to fail.
Worked fine the 12 years I'd been in the house.
It was a PITA to find a good plumber to do the job but I found one and
$2100 later I had a new pump in.
A couple weeks later the pump starts vibrating.
Figured it was a defect.
Get the guy back and he says he's never had an install fail.
He had to pull the pump out of the tank.
Ladies panties all wound up in the impeller.
I have my suspicion about how that happened, but a suspicion is only
that.
I did momentarily think about posting a sign in the bathroom saying,
VISITORS: If you **** your panties DON'T flush them down the toilet!

Anyway another $290 fixed me up, and believe me, I got off cheap.
It's good when your plumber is a former seminarian.
