Hi everyone,
We have a Kohler K-3415-EB Wellington in an impossible to get color. It is from 1987 and came with our house when we bought it a few years ago. I know fully well that there are water savings to be had from buying a new toilet but let's put that aside for now. The toilet has been clogging very frequently. A couple years ago it clogged really bad and a plumber came and had to remove it temporarily but finally unclogged it. He said that specific style is notorious for clogging. A few days ago the same thing happened. A plumber came and checked the basement and narrowed the problem down to the toilet again and said over the years it will build up minerals that accumulate and tighten the opening. He was unable to unclog it with an auger and recommended purchasing a new toilet.
Are there any fixes for toilets that reach that point (somehow breaking away at the mineral deposits etc) or is the only solution buying a new toilet?
