Received the symmons cartridge in the mail yesterday, was in the process of replacing the existing one and dropped it, and presto, it unfroze. I put the <1year old spindle back in and the hot water now works!

Had a plumber fix it and he added the proper venting and the problem has been solved -- no bubbling. you can still see that the other toilet is being flushed if you look at the water, but it certainly doesn't bubble and splash. thanks again for all the input!

Just an update -- called a local plumber and he said you must have a symmons which needs a new cartridge. Interestingly enough I called symmons and they knew immediately it was the cartridge but instead of sending me a new one or asking me to buy one they said I should soak it in vinegar for 1...

Thanks hj -- should try to take the shower plate off? Is there a way I can reassure myself it's not a frozen pipe? Les

All, thanks again for the input. I finally had a plumber come by and showed him pictures of the wall before it was closed up and he believes it's because the toilet while it meets code, was not properly vented when it was moved and thus is having the problem. For now, we're going to live with...

When I turn on our shower faucet, the water coming out isn't hot, just cold water at a flow that's not the usual flow. When I turn on the hot and cold water from any other place in the house, I get water no problem. We hadn't used this problem shower for 2 weeks before finding out the...

Thanks for all the input! I do think the plumbing looks like what you said it looks like Redwood. What's our most economical option to fix this? The toilets work it's just irritating to have it splash and bubble every so often. You guys are great!

Thanks Redwood and Jimbo -- guess I should call a plumber to take a look and help diagnose it or we may just live with the problem for a while longer -- if you or anyone else has any other suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks HJ -- when I called the plumber who did it, he said it may be because of the high flow toilet which is why I was wondering if I just changed the toilet my problem may be solved... Would you call back the plumber to fix or is this a quality control issue that says I shouldn't be using...

Thanks Jimbo, how much do you think it'll take to get a plumber out to fix an issue like this and how do they make the right diagnosis?

Thanks Redwood -- so you don't think just changing the toilet will solve it? What's the range of cost that you think it may take to fix this? Thanks, Redrover

As part of our home renovation, we moved the location of our master bath toilet and installed HET flush toilets. To move the master bath toilet the contractor/plumber changed the angle of pipe under the bathroom floor (draining the master bath toilet) from a right angle to about a 15-20 degree...
