Hi,
I have searched for an answer to this but with no success for my particular problem which is as follows.
I have a rancher with a walkout basement, two bathrooms upstairs one in the master bath and a powder room and two (back to back) downstairs....one in the a master bath and one in a powder room.
When the toilet in the upstairs powder room is flushed the toilet in the downstairs powder room burps. Flush either toilet upstairs and no problem in the lower master and flush the upstairs powder causes no problem in the lower master bath.....LOL....follow all that!
All the toilets are Eljer Titans (excellent toilets by the way) except for the burper which is a American Standard....all the toilets are low flush 6 litre.
We just switched from septic to municipal sewer. We have installed a 2 hp grinder pump which has a lift of 50 feet and a total run of aprox. 400 feet. It was installed per code and to manufacturers specifications.
We cannot determine for certain if this problem started before or after the pump install....but I find it hard to believe that the hook up to sewer is causing this.
I suspect some kind of venting problem but if I am on the roof and the wife flushes any of the toilets I can feel an inrush of air at the vent stack.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated and thanks in advance for any help.
