Need super flush for toilet
Seems my daughter clogs the toilet every time she goes. Of course,
you say "tell her to take a stool softener", and you get "Yeah, dad, like that's going to happen!!!". Any experience or comments about super flush devices out there? Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, John |

I have the same problem (though usually caused by me). We recently purchased
a house that has new plumbing & toilets, but perhaps the water conserving kind. Ironically, I have to flush 2-3 times every time it plugs up so I doubt we're conserving much water. This probably happens at least 50% of the time (when going #2) so its a real hassle, not to mention embarassing for guests. Would also appreciate any help. W.D. "John T. Howard" wrote in message ...

These are Al Gore toilets, limited to about 2 1/2 gallons per flush. They
are a continual problem. |

I realize from personal experience they're a continual problem! Can these
things be turbocharged? Or do the Gore toilets need to be replaced with a George W. Bush water-guzzling model? ;-) "James" wrote in message ... These are Al Gore toilets, limited to about 2 1/2 gallons per flush. They are a continual problem. |

I have an American Standard Cadet.
Interesting how other people have problems with their toilets. "John T. Howard" wrote in message ... Seems my daughter clogs the toilet every time she goes.

Subject: Need super flush for toilet
Newsgroup: alt.home.repair = tm = wrote: 1.Oatmeal and raisins. If that fails, have her cut the turds up with a butter knife before flushing. That's disgusting. I would suggest a "courtesy flush" after each dropping. -- -Graham Remove the snails to email ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Any experience or comments about super flush devices out there? Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated. Hold the handle down and use the whole tankful of water. That should do it "If its brown, hold it down" |

The single flush and a heaver duty hold the handle down flush. When shopping look for fully glazed traps and at least a 2 inch trap, larger is better. AS Cadet seems to be the model of choice based on price and problems. Note there are a number of different models including one power flush (noisy) but effective version of the Cadet. -- Joseph Meehan Dia's Muire duit |

Depending on when they were bought and manufactured.
Kohler, AS people would admit that original low flow designs were pretty bad. They did not have a lab, and no testing was performed. Now they saying gov should lower to limit to 1Gal, On the new house we have all low water use 1.7gpfs, and they work much better than 3.5 we had on the old house. Don't buy $49 models like Menards they don't work. Brian Bush toilet models just make sounds like: mmmm, a-a-a, NUKULER and put you in the deep debt. |

You don't want an Al Gore toilet. It saws down your trees for photo op.

The health minions in the feral government demand that you eat (at least) five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. These "things" - they are not "food," they are what "food" eats - generate "floaters." Real food generates "sinkers." Now the fix is simple: let the fruits and nuts eat the fruits and nuts. You stick to RED MEAT (yum). Your problems with the toilet will disappear. |

The Toto models with "G Max" have a trap considerably bigger than the norm, and a rather impressive flushing action. those modeals are allegedly equivalent to a traditional pressure-assist system. I've been quite pleased with the Toto "Ultramax" model I've had for about 3 years. Certainly on the pricey side compared to the builders' specials, but I guess ya' gets what ya' pays for. The couple of times I've had a problem with the mechanism, the tech support folks talked me through the issues without incident. Art Temporary usercode - to be deleted when spam starts.

I've always suspected that this genre' of postings is more about someone
being a "big ****" than any serious topic. Dave "tm" wrote in message ... Stephen King wrote: Stop eating so much that makes you have large droppings in your toilet. You *******. I'll never forgive you. http://www.lennonmurdertruth.com/killersface.asp |
