Quoted: If you think about it, from a fluid dynamics standpoint, a toilet is a terrible design. You're expecting a limited amount of 1.0 cp viscosity fluid, move a solid through a narrow flow path, with both an 180 degree turn, and an extreme radius of curvature. With predictable results. From now on, there will always be a large supply of disposable cutlery in any bathroom I own. View Quote Or just buy an American Standard instead of whatever cheap $99 piece of shit home depot special you have now. |

Quoted: Our toilets have ample 5 gallon flushes and never get stopped up, because everything goes into our own residential sewage treatment plant where we recover and reuse every drop of water to irrigate our fruit trees.

Quoted: Stop buying junky toilets and you'll be fine. You need an American standard champion 4 toilet. You won't clog it. Largest trap diameter. Fully glazed trapway(smooth), and nice and easy sweeping trap with no jerky movements. 4" flush valve. Normal toilet is 2". If your toilet has a regular sized flapper it's not going to be a great flusher. The cadet 3 is also a good option. But not as good. 1.6 gallons per flush. I never have to flush twice. View Quote This is truth. Installed Champion 4's when we built our house 9 years ago and we've never had a clog. |

None of the toilets in my house have ever plugged up. Wife’s bathroom features a Kohler, mine has an American Standard. I think I paid about $400 apiece for them.

View Quote I think my 4 toilets are American Standard. Not sure what model. I just bought "builder grade" 1.6 gal. units 28 years ago when I built the house and they have worked OK all these years. |

View Quote Is that one of those "power-poop" units with an upper water pressure chamber that WILL fail and explode sometime during your usage? |

I've never clogged a Champion 4 with the NuFlush conversion. I've owned them since 2007.
And I have straight up disrespected them on countless occasions. |

I honestly don’t know how this poop thread has made it this far.

Quoted: Pour about 2 cups of merratic acid in there and swish it around with your toilet brush to get it pushed down into the twisty pipes and leave it in there for 15 min, that will clean it out and get it flowing again. flush it 2 or 3 more times to get it out of your sewer pipes. View Quote It's muriatic acid. https://bits.greenslocal.org/articles/how-to-use-muriatic-acid-to-clean-a-toilet/ |

I tell people that most modern day toilets you gotta treat like jail toilets: sink one, flush one.
I have not had the luxury of shitting in a jail cell, but I know many who have, and a few of them have told me that “sink one, flush one” is a standard rule. |

Every toilet at work is currently broken and we are having to drive 3 miles to a gas station…

You know you guys don't have to live on boiled beets anymore.
You're in the new world now, and we have lots to eat. |

If you pooped on company time, you wouldn’t have this problem.

I have had good luck with the Home Depot, Glacier Bay, one piece, duel flush toilets in rent houses. I have been using them for about 5 years and have never had a clogged toilet or a broken tank seal (they don’t have one due to the one piece design.) I also haven’t had any problems with the toilet flange gasket seal because of the different center of gravity.
Some of my tenants are real porkers. We are talking about wide load, Walmart shopping scooter types. |

Quoted: @1stID Toilets are a damn nightmare these days. One trick is to poop, flush, then wipe and flush the toilet paper separately. If you don’t, then you end up with the paper enveloping the poop and it forms a plug that goes nowhere. View Quote A better secret is to poop everyday, not once every three days. |

Quoted: I find most modern toilets work quite well View Quote That is the simple truth. When the new standards came out years ago, the manufacturers continued to use the old molds and only changed the mechanical mechanism which caused the problems. The old school toilets were designed for 4” drain pipes and the new ones are designed for 3” drain pipes. If you replace the toilet in an old house, be sure to check the toilet flange. If it is a 4” one, you will need to install an adapter. |

1.Open up your wallet $$$ and buy a Toto (dual flush model if your'e feeling baller).
The Ferrari of toilets and worth every penny. I put one in every bathroom in my house. 2. Throw away plungers. ( or poop knife if your'e one of those guys) I'm a big guy, eating big food and making big turds. Have yet to flush more than once. It's unstoppable. Toto's are the shit, so to speak, and can handle anyhing you might throw ( or dump) at it. |

The one we have at the office has pressure assist and it has never clogged. I may upgrade to that when we redo our bathrooms.

Quoted: Quoted: You just have shitty toilets. Quality toilets solved the low flow problem a decade or so ago. A quality toilet will flush a 12 pound cat. Honey have you seen the cat? That’s how I know. And she was none the wiser. |

Quoted: I honestly don’t know how this poop thread has made it this far. View Quote Shh, keep this on the down low. But this isn't the first thread that I feel should have been locked after a few pages. So I think the mods are either tired of the GD shenanigans that they aren't viewing/reading threads, or they're letting GD air out their grievances. |

Quoted: Or just buy an American Standard instead of whatever cheap $99 piece of shit home depot special you have now. View Quote I have installed 5 of the $99 home Depot special toilets . They work great. My son has had one I installed in his house right after he bought the house. No complaints. The depot toilet is a great product. |
