Plunger technique

[Guest guest]

Okay guys, here's what I've learned:

If you have a really good plumber he can " fix " the low flow toilet to flush

more than once -- automatically. I have no idea HOW our plumber did this,

but he jury-rigged our most problematic toilet to " auto flush " three times.

No more problems.

As to plunging, I read this technique somewhere and it really does work --

-- work the plunger up and down rapidly several times to create a vacuum in

the trap

-- once the vacuum is established, pull UP, breaking the vacuum, allowing

water to flow back into the pipe and hopefully dislodging the clog.

This technique seems to work for me. If it doesn't, it's time for the

plumber, which has happened more than once, but not since MiraLax ;-)

Oh, the trials and tribulations of MSA!!!
