My TOILET keeps getting CLOGGED....ARGGGH!

[Ameesh]

TOTO == teh winnAR!

Try holding the flush handle down so it uses the full tank of water (= low-flow override).

Dude, just quit dropping daisy cutters.

I just had my 2nd floor entirely renovated with a brand new master bathroom put in and 2 months later my Kohler toilet gets clogged after a few 'dumps' in the bowl.....I plung it and it clears up immediately but then several days later again it ...CLOGS!!......wtf!?

I tried snaking it and even tried special drain liquid for toilets and all seemed to work just fine to give smooth flowing flushes but then every few days after a couple of 'dumps' in the bowl.....its clogged again!



My old toilet on the first floor never has this problem and we must have torn that thing apart with devestating dumps in the past 15 years......why is this happening to my new toilet and WHAT CAN I DO???


thanks!

Your full of crap (I had to say that )

But seriously like Elfenix said.......... flush once before you finish.......... problem solved.

Cheers,
Vic

you flush between dump and wipe. clogs are almost always too much stuff going through at once.

thats what i found works for me, poop,flush,wipe,flush,
and the room doesn't smell as bad,when you flush away the stinky stuff right away.

Rossman...what was that feature called??? Power assisted flush I think...look into getting a dumper with that feature

Drive up to canada. Buy illegal toilet. Avoid the 12 man border patrol. Drive home.

With a name like that it's not too suprising that you are clogging the bowl.

We installed the Toto Drake about a month ago, and to this day I am still amazed at how powerful that sucker is.

There needs to be a rating system for total flushing power. If it were my system it would be based on the animal it could suck down. That toilets the squirrel model, popular for low income families. Here we have the raccoon, when only the best will do...

i see that this thread is in the crapper.

Guys...about 98% of you were actually pretty useless to me while about 2 of you actually gave me some real good advice....If you dont give a crap about helping me, then simply refrain from posting please!


Does anyone have any HELPFUL reviews or info on the KOHLER line of toilets so I can basically do some research and get to the "bottom of this" very frustrating problem??


Its quite embarrassing to have company over to admire my beautiful new bathroom only to be in complete embarrassment once they discover that the 'poop' they left behind simply wont flush.

Any sites or articles that someone can point me to other than that one helpful toilet web page someone posted earlier....it was thorough but didnt really have any info on KOHLER toilets

Bahaha
*Dumb & Dumber flashback*

Does your company also take showers while they admire your new bathroom?

Sorry I can't be of any real help... this thread is just too damn funny.

what do you expect with a post like this? at least we all got some sh!ts and giggles out of it.

did you install it yourself? if so, call Kohler and see what they say. If not, call your plumber and see what he says.
Kohler will at least listen to your problem... I don't know if they will give you a new toilet though.

i would suggest a little less fiber in your diet.

 

[tm37]

Your old toilet is more than likely not a water conserving kind so it will flush better.

I am going to make a road trip to canada to get me a REAL toliet and get rid of these low flow sh!tters.

BTW I heard a story on a report by the EPA that showed that people with low flow toliets usually flush TWO OR THREE time when using a low flow toliet when they relievethem selves of solid waste. this totally negates any benifit of the low flow as it uses more water.

Did you try what I suggested above (holding down the handle instead of press-and-release)? I have a Kohler and that's what works for me.
