My Response To The Question:
 
The best plunger for the job is one with a rubber cone and a wooden handle type. Force the cup or plunger into the Toilet’s opening and make 5 to 10 consistent pumping movements.
 

Toilet paper is Bio-Degradable and will often begin to dissolve with water. So all you have to do is apply pressure to burst the stoppage or “BREAK IT APART.”

 

After trying several times, if this doesn’t resolve the problem, your most obvious choice is to try a Toilet Auger.

Several times, I have heard people saying they tried hot water, which worked for them. Use HOT WATER by pouring the water into the toilet. Just be careful with the HOT WATER.

 

For Best Results. I would  probably

say a

1. A PLUNGER 

 

2. TOILET AUGER IS THE BEST CHOICE.

 

When using a Toilet since they are all Made Low Flow Toilets.

Well, Nowadays, sometimes, even less than 1 Gallon Per Flush. They Used to be 3 or more Gallons Per Flush.

 

But in 1992, they made it mandatory to use 1.6 gallons per flush. Water Conservation. But I guess it is a major necessity for water.

A Few Plumbing Tips

Plumbing Tip:

It may help to flush twice or thrice per usage since you probably use the toilet only a few times daily.

 

As I said, toilets use so little water when you flush. (Not That I am against Low Flow Toilets. Because I am not.)

I recommend flushing the toilet several times; it only uses about 1 gallon per flush.

 

Once when you first sit down, flush the toilet paper later, maybe another time.

That is if your toilet is giving you problems. Or clogs often.

American Standard Toilet (Why I like or Prefer a Standard Toilet)

Or use a Good Toilet. Which can flush GOLF BALLS, or so they advertise on the packaging.

Like American Standard ( Elongated Toilet, Champion 4, Priced at 239.00,  would probably be one, if not my top choice. At The Home Depot.)


The china (bowl and tank) have a lifetime limited warranty which you can find online at Parts & Support – American Standard warranty/limited-warranty-up-boulevard-champion. Has a power flush.

I usually have gone with the American Standard Elongated or the Kohler Highline Classic Elongated. Or the Round American Standard for 198.00. These are fairly good toilets also.


See, it depends on the money that the customer can spend. And or sometimes the look of the toilet.

But the only thing is, if you get a toilet with a pump, if this breaks down, it can be a hassle trying to fix and or replace the pump.

Usually, My First choice is The American Standard, Elongated Toilet, Champion 4, for around 239.00.  The one that can flush golf balls. Or so they advertise.

 

A standard GOOD Toilet. It depends on the money the customer can spend. Highline Classic. Toilets which are good, around 148.00.)

 

Or also a Good Toilet. It would be an American Standard Cadet 3 FloWise Tall Height 2-piece 1.28 GPF High-Efficiency Elongated Toilet in White with Slow Close Seat. 158.00. These might not flush Golf Balls, Like the Champion 4 toilet, but none are good toilets. 

Kohler Toilets and Toto Toilets

Kohler K-3493-0 Highline Classic. 364.00. It’s a little noisy; pressure flush.

 

But Kohler Toilets I have installed for many years.

 

Or a Toto Brand Toilet, the Higher End one, around 300.00 – 550.00.

Toto toilets are nice but a little more pricey.

 

I would say just so mainly you don’t get a cheap or inexpensive toilet.

Which can clog often. And then you will be at the start again of an ineffective flushing toilet.
