Toilet unblocker?

anon_ymous

Does anyone know what to use for that? Ideally something high pressure and relatively cheap. The snake thing doesn't seem to work. I'd rather something work, once

Any help would be appreciated

I have something similar to the Amazon one, pump vigorously & repeatedly. It's a good workout.

I have an odd shaped loo and during a recent blockage i bought a couple of plungers and borrowed one from family but to no avail then youtube came to the rescue.

All you need is some rubber gloves and an empty drinks bottle, trust me it works!

If the disc plunger doesn't do the job, it's almost always drain-rodding time.

The Luigi one?

First with a corkscrew attachment, and then with a decent brush. Don't use a disk, because when it comes off the end of the rod, it is nigh on impossible to recover.

You can also get an attachment to go on the end of a pressure washer - Just don't try using one to clear a blocked bowl unless you want to redecorate.

No not that specific one, mine just looks like a giant bicycle pump but it works the same. There are some further down that page but I couldn't tell you which is best.

Aye, you really need to check the bolt is snug before use.

I've often found pushing a mop down a blocked toilet and then (sharply) pulling it out is effective. Might need to be repeated a few times..

Another tip for anyone who may be in lockdown without plunger or other plumbing tools.

We have the second one on the amazon link, having two children under 5, its safe to say it works..
