Well, there's no delicate way to ask it, so I'll just ask it. My family has some folks that have a tendency to clog toilets, and I'm looking for a way to spend less time with plungers and augers. How clog resistant is this toilet overall? Has anyone...

I'm a pretty big dumper not NFL or MLB style but pretty big. I would go with a larger 1.6 GP flush to be safe. I set it at 1.3 GP and it works for me. But if you are NFL or MLB dumps I would go bigger.

good observation with the wax seals. The clog is trans the wax seal and when plunge (increase pressure) the toilet the way of least resistance (the wax) gives in. This should not happen with the new seal or only transiently. good luck to all of us. One solution is to unclog with a "snake".

Hi This toilet only as much water as you want, it will flush as long as you hold the pedal down. This is not the best toilet to buy, i will never buy another. If you open the gate there is a open cavity inside the toilet that delutes the flush and you wind up with a pile in your holding tank. Thanks, Henry

You have not gone wrong. The toilet is a BAD DESIGN. I fought a loosing battle for 12 years, trying to stop the leaking and trying to clear the swirling water of the sewage. I hope you have more luck getting it to work than I had.

We have had this toilet almost a year and have not had any problems at all. Both flush levels are entirely effective. Best toilet ever!!!!!!!

We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure. However I didn't flush them that often. I kept a tight small trash can with lid and would put them in there and empty often. And occasionally would flush a poopy one if I was upstairs away from that trash can. I maybe flushed maybe 3-5 a week and never noticed any clogging or septic problems. Hope that helps a little! Heard some people flush these with no problems. I didn't feel comfortable with that but in the end made the decision to put them in the trash because my toilets far away from my changing table :p We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure.

One of my rentals built in 1943 had this problem with all forms of toilet paper. Finally I had a great plumber replace the sewer lines with pipes that are up to the current code, eliminated excessive elbows and installed them with the correct slope. No issues at all now at any of my 4 rentals or the home I live in. And let me tell you, renters can be hard on pipes.

Get a hard wood toilet seat that doesn't bend. We purchased a plastic no slam seat that cost more than the wooden ones and more than this bidet but it was bending and putting pressure on the bidet causing the water not to come out at full pressure. You could tell once you hovered over the seat you got a fire hose of water pressure and in the right spot. I tried the bumpers but they would fall off after a few days even after I epoxied them. I pulled the hard wood toilet seat off the guest bathroom and worked like a charm. Since its wood I might try and find some nail in bumpers with the correct height so it sits kind of level as right now the tip dips down at the front but it solved my issue.

We Haven't had nay problems flushing them. There was only one time when I flushed it down with about 3 non-flushable baby wipes that it clogged it and it unclogged pretty easy. If you are worried about it, I would just flush one at a time. It should be fine.

My blockage was downstream so toilet water was clean, no mess. I would think if the toilet is soiled, cleaninitally in clean toilet water, second cleaning outside with soap and water.

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

No problems at all with so-called skidding. In fact not having any problems with toilet. Also I can recommend Luxe brand of bidets. I have purchased five of them over a three year period. Three for myself and two for friends. Don't buy a bidet for keeping the toilet clean, buy one to keep your self clean. You will love using a bidet. Not sure why more folks are not catching on to this. The model you mentioned is a full seat bidet. The Luxe line is more like an attachment. The results are the same. If you are looking for a full seat bidet the S300e would be fine. You do not have to spent that kind of money to get the SAME results. If you don't buy a ToTo, buy a bidet. You will be glad you did.

This is about the only thing I've found that you can use in toilets. As long as you have a little bit of water flow, it works great. You put a scoop in a container, add warm (not hot) tap water, give it a stir and pour it in your toilet. Flush, and then let it sit for several hours. It works great. If water flow is still sluggish, do it again. I usually use it double strength on sluggish drains and toilets, and it clears them right out!

I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily. So far so good, but it has only been in service for about a month. No problems and I don't see why it wouldn't hold up though. Other than the underside clamp ring being flimsy and not holding it to the sink well, it seems like a very nice product. I personally don't like that you have to hold your hands very close to the spout for it to activate, but once you position your hands in that "sweet spot" it works great and reliably shuts off. So much better than the plunger type valve that it replaced. Chrome finish wipes to a shine easily. I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily.

I am a 60 year old woman also, and I am the primary caretaker of our toilet. Emptying the urine bottle isn't hard. I rinse mine briefly with the hose afterwards. Emptying the solid waste tank can be hard. It is quite heavy when full, and you need to be able to turn it upside down into a trash bag to empty it out. But I manage usually all by myself, and it doesn't need emptying very often. I think I empty ours 2-3x per year for our toilet that is used on weekends by 2 people about 2x / month. The floor needs a good scrubbing after that, because somehow, no matter how hard I try, some of the used peat escapes. Then, of course you have to refill it with clean moist peat. That isn't hard, but it is kind of messy. I clean the bowl frequently with bathroom cleaning wipes(don't toss those inside). Not much else to do. I would say you need to be involved with your toilet, but for me, it isn't so hard or so awful that I want to kick it. Congratulations on your tiny house.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depotand bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud
