I have an constant clogging issues with my upstairs toilet (cannot handle any solid). I have installed two new toilets, both have had pressure assistance (toto, jacuzzi). Both have clogged. I installed the toto down stairs and it rocks.
Eveyone tells me its the toilet, but it can't be if it works somewhere else. My thoughts would be that it is the vents and they are blocked. Plumbers are telling me no, its the toilet. They are saying the vent has nothing to do with it. It is mainly used to keep the traps for the sink and toilet filled with water by preventing a vaccuum, and does not really have to do with the toilet flush, and actually it would flow better. That does not make any sense to me.
Here are my two analogies:
1: For all you who have partied a little bit college, do you remember shooting cans of beer. Cut a hole near the bottom, pop the top and suck it down. It would not flow as fast without the top popped to prevent the vacuum. The high flow of the beer is why people do it.
2: All the old school Hi-C aluminum cans, where you need to puncture a hole in one side, and puncture a hole on the opposing side, or else its flow is very poor. Once you puncture the adjacent hole, out comes the delicious fruity beverage.
Am i right? Do these things make sense? What is the REAL answer???
ANy thoughts would be appreciated.
