Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Someone suggested emptying the bowl before clearing the clog. As this is sometimes helpful, I made a scoop from a half gallon plastic milk bottle. I cut it into the shape of the scoop to fit the bowl and used the handle on what used to be a milk container and used it to control the scoop. It helps keep your hand out of the debris. don't forget to leave the cap on the bottle! Sennewald Charlottesville, Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hello group, Just reading your comments about low flow commodes and for anyone contemplating changing commodes out, there is a commode on the market that has an air bladder flush assist mechanism that this is very low flow but sends the waster down the drain with a hard blast of air. I just installed one in my in-laws home. It is such a strong flush that we joke about it taking someone with it. We bought it at Lowes for around $225.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I can second Jerry's comment on " strong flush " toilets. I learned about them after we put the standard low flows in our new house. The bladder flush units really work but do cost more.
