Thomas Crapper was a freaking idiot!

We've got some Jacuzzi brand toilets that have, erm, endured some challenging loads without fault.

This seems like the best place for this:

Chuck Norris never needs a plunger to clear out the toilet.

He scares the E36 M3 out of it.

Having read those reviews before I didn't even have to click the link to LOL.

When my line in the back got clogged, I closed every drain in the house and put the toilet lids down with towels under them. I then took the cap off the cleanout, drilled a 1/4" hole in it, screwed it back on, removed the cap for the econd cleanout on the city's side of things then put my 135 PSI compressed air to it through the aforementioned hole. After 2 or 3 shots I heard a 'whoosh' at the city's end, then immediately ran inside and flushed both of my (manly 1970's vintage 3 gallon) tiolet beasts a few times each. Worked like a champ. I then plugged the hole with a BSF bolt, nut and nylon washer. The next guy who buys my house is gonna look at that and scratch his head.

I have learned so much about toilets today.

I feel blessed.

Terlet problems, call GRM Plumbing

I just wanted to read this again. I'm going to use "...until I heard screaming from the house" as a finish to as many stories as possible.

I'll see your 3600 psi and raise you 150 psi through 4 or 6 inch lines. On Navy ships the toilets are charged by the fire suppression water lines. If it doesn't go down the bowl, it bounces back and blows you through the stall door. You learn never to do something so dangerous as a courtesy flush while seated. In fact you learn to always stand off to the side when flushing a Navy ship toilet.

Well their toilets did flush again but I couldn't bring myself to bill them after seeing the damage.

Awful gracious of you

In reply to bearmtnmartin:

I'm sure some of that damage was psychological LOL

"I'll never forget the day the toilet exploded..."

Laughing to hard to write the bill?

On the Constellation I learned to shout before flushing so everyone down the line could have the chance to stand as well.

And here I thought this was going to be about a squatty potty.

"Bud, the toilets of today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors and they're too low. And when you flush them, they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound. Not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it, BA-WOOSH. That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot.""

Absolutely, hands down the American Standard Champion toilets. Best $200 you'll ever spend. 10 year warranty. I sell the E36 M3 out of those things at work(Lowe's Plumbing "pro"). I try to steer everyone to those things, I usually can only keep 2 or 3 on the shelf at a time. Sure, the Kohler's look nice and all, but I want to E36 M3 in it and make sure it goes away, not stand around my E36 M3ter and admire it with some buddy's over a beer.

You had it right the first time. It's Toto's tune, not Kansas'.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled poo talk.

Yessir, TOTO is The Premier Terlet Brand.

Sounds great in concept but compressed air and sewer/ drains do not play well together. 30 years in industrial pipe fitting and I seen a lot. Still, there's always that guy that says 'let's hit it w/ 125 psi air'... usually doesn't end well.

I figgered that I was dealing with water, poop, toilet paper and PVC pipe and it was very unlikely that the PVC would be the weakest link. Of course, it depends on what the poop was created from...

note to self: do not anger bearmtnmartin.

All this potty talk and no mention of the "GPST" (German Poo Shelf Toilet).

Man, I tell ya. That thing will teach you two things:

1) how to courtesy flush, and why it is necessary.

2) Don't pee while wearing shorts. You'll never look at your shins the same again.

But even still, I never clogged one (but I probably should have on more than one occasion).

Leave it to GRM to educate me on a relevant topic that I haven't even asked about yet!

We need to replace 2 toilets in our house that are the typical "contractor" grade and clog ALL THE TIME! The unit you recommend above sounds like the ticket!

I remember when those A S toilets first came out. They were the first ones to use the the really big trap section or throat. Since then more manufacturers have gone to this design. The first time I saw one was in a supply house and the salesman had a demonstrator model that was mounted on top of a big plexiglass tank. Flush the toilet and the water and whatever you threw in the toilet would end up in the plexiglass tank. You could open the door and fish out whatever was flushed and try it again. The salesman would flush a dozen golf balls, and some squishey toys that simulated turds. He even had an silicone breast implant that he would throw in there. We got creative and started flushing pens, pencils, handkerchiefs, and all kinds of other things that just didn't look like they would flush. Everything within reason flushed.
