One of the toilets in my home has always been plagued by poor waste removal. Had the builders model replaced by 3 Koehler Cimmarons 12 years ago. 2 work ok and clogging issues remain in the other which is our guest toilet. I’ve had a camera inspection of waste line to clean out- nothing suspicious. I can get toilet trap cleared with work but with my existing injuries and a total knee replacement coming up I need a solution. Carrying 25 pound pails of hot water across house is getting old. Anyway, I need a new toilet with more power. Been searching internet for ratings on pressure assisted, about to pay CR a monthly fee for their test data. I need one that will not only clear trap but push 40-60 feet down waste line…this toilet is about 30’ from where waste line heads down to meet sewer main. anyone had good flushers replacing poor ones?

Instead of more power, maybe a macerating toilet? -- HokieNoVA Jan 13, 2025 at 03:16 PM ET
