I'm considering replacing our old American Standard Plebe toilet with a Toto 1.6 gallon model.
We live in an older home with a sewer line that needs yearly cleaning due to roots from large maple trees about 50 feet down the line. The roto-rooter guy always has trouble at one spot where the sewer pipe must be broken or coming apart. He always manages to get through it and all the way to the street sewer however. We have found that roto-rooting on a yearly basis (and never flushing paper towels) is enough to ensure no clog-ups.
Will a low-flow toilet that flushes a lot less water per-flush, cause more frequent clogs in this marginal sewer line?
