I haven't found much addressing this issue online (this is the best I could find).
About a month ago I plunged the toilet and shortly afterward noticed literal bits of crap and toilet paper coming out of the rim jets when flushing. The front right quadrant (when facing the toilet) rim jets had water coming out slowly or not at all (slightly improving after repeated flushings to clear debris). This took a few days and over 100 flushes to clear it.
Since then I've had to plunge a few more times, and the issue has recurred. The most recent plunging I noticed that crap and toilet paper was coming out the rim jets while plunging (starting at the back of the toilet, and working around toward the front), and now debris is again coming out of the rim jets while flushing.
Is there any way (other than refraining from plunging the toilet) to stop this from happening? Does this indicate that something (e.g. a check valve) is broken in the toilet? Should the toilet be replaced?
How can I convince my landlord that this is happening? He came over the first time this issue happened and was convinced that it was rust debris from the bolts in the tank. He said he called his plumber and described what I said was happening and his plumber laughed at the idea.
If the toilet needs to be replaced, what's the best way of convincing my landlord it needs to be replaced?
Toilet model: Water Ridge C210912 1.28 gpf - apparently not a good toilet.
