    Toilet won't stay unclogged

    Well, I finally removed the toilet. What I noticed is that the small hole in the lower/front of the toilet bowl is clogged with what looks to be a calcium deposit? It chips out and is very gritty. Can this be what was causing the slow flushing and repeated clogging? Best to replace this toilet?

    Toilet won't stay unclogged

    Reach4- If I am reading your reply correctly, the solution to continued clogging requires a Replacement of the toilet. Any advise on brand and style? Not sure what you mean "where you can see the trapway path outside the toilet?" Thanks for your help!
