odd flushing toilet

Probably 3 inch PVC would fix it — or certainly help… but I'm not up to digging up that much pipe! We think it's clay… old places are such fun!

Baby wipes, Clorox wipes that stuff is real bad and a lot of people don't know not to flush them. But if they keep flushing them they will know soon enough

I have multiple generations of the Cimarron in this house. The ones from four years ago, had the standard configuration where the water flushes around the rim inside a porcelain tube with holes every 3 inches or so. The water flows tubes both left and right and out of the holes directly down into the bowl.
The latest generation has an open channel with from the tank out the upper right side only and swirling towards the left and down as it goes producing a lot stronger flushing whirlpool.

I’ll try to take a video or picture to illustrate the difference.

Gary - I’ve attached a picture of the Kohler Cimarron with the side channel flush. Couldn’t upload the video, but you get the idea.

Hi, From what @hot_rod said, I remember pulling a plastic fork from a trap in a toilet. It caused all sorts of intermittent and strange troubles. Snake wouldn't touch it, but from underneath I could pull it out. 🤠

Yours, Larry

I have told this story before, but believe it is too good to not repeat:

3 adults living in a rental house, all working at the same office. The one WC was almost overflowing with flushing, plunging did not clear it. So the closet auger found a toothbrush that was caught crossways in the trap.

I threw it away, went to the office and told them what I found. And also that I rinsed the brush and put it back in the wall holder. They paid me and I left.

I am sure that 3 new toothbrushes were purchased that day. 😈

Don't know about MTV, but there was a story of a couple whose hotel room was broken into.

Only some weeks later they checked the recording on their video camera which was left in the room, but not stolen.

They were aghast to view only someone's butt with their toothbrushes being inserted.

That would make you want to brush (with a new one) and gargle.

They usually glaze the interior to help with flow now. I wonder if it being etched or being coated with some thing like mineral deposits could have that dramatic an effect. Or some passages clogged connecting the rim to the trapway.
