Toilet problem
Comments

could i ask a question
i have a newish toilet which if you use toilet paper it blocks, i have a funny feeling that when i was installed the pipe work was to severe i.e. sharp bends ,is this possible? it also does not flush all round the rim:oliving on the "edge"0 -
its possible that the soil pipe is to blame, but more likely the cistern is at fault.
water level too low? faulty siphon? wc pan not level?
poor seals in a close coupled wc?Get some gorm.0 -
My colleagues down south have told me this happens with their hard water. You and I don't get that problem round here.Well thats a new 1 on me, never heard of or seen the bowl waterways scaled up........A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -

Very difficult to correct, much easier to replace the pan.0 -

I thought that was the usual answer, but like I said, we don't get that problem in this part of the world.Very difficult to correct, much easier to replace the pan.A house isn't a home without a cat.

It could be the metal linkage with has streched therefore not pulling up the diaphram all the way, or a damaged Diaphram wich can be replaced by a good qualitiy carrier bag cut to size, mind however you need to isolate the water supply to the toliet.

maybe you should consider the type of bog ro... sorry toilet paper you use, i've heard lots of stories about modern 'comfortable' paper 1) not flushing, and 2) being more prone 2 blocking, especially nowadays with smaller cisterns and shabier plumbing.
i have the same trouble with toilet paper, (even just one sheet sometimes!!!). it just refuses to flush.Please note, we've had to remove your signature because it was sh*te!0
