I've had 3 new toilets in recent years and they've all had problems with blocking! They seem to have smaller outlets for some reason... maybe to do with using less water?
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy2 -
Oh really? I'm glad it's not just us, though sorry for you of course. The outlet is definitely smaller than the previous one.Chrystal said:I've had 3 new toilets in recent years and they've all had problems with blocking!

DH took on the fun job of trying to clear the toilet. It's improved, but still slow to drain. It takes away the immediate panic about it overflowing though! We've checked the drains and they are clear so that's one thing.
We have also been to the seaside today and to a NT place as well for a picnic. It was lovely out and nice to get away for a bit!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5 -
I have noticed since we had the new bathroom the toilet doesn’t flush as efficiently as the old one. Hopefully an easy fix for you with a change of toilet paper 🤞 Fantastic PADs as always and beautiful photos too.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

. Unfortunately it's completely blocked again this morning. It might be that we hadn't fully cleared it, but it's so frustrating (and gross!).
