I have a toilet that frequently clogs. It isn't clogged currently. Will this device help fix the cause of the frequent clogs?

In our case it solved the problem by 90 per cent. It was clogging like twice a week. Hope this helps.

I too had the similar situation. this is an excellent tool. I used to have to call a plumber, but since I got this, I have not needed a plumber. It is definitely worth it.

Yes, I was having the same problem, and plunger was not helping, I had to be calling my apartment office to help all the time, but with this, I have no problems because it does just the job. I recommend you to buy it.

It depends on the cause of the clogs. This device will not widen the path of pipe itself, but it is very sturdy and should remove most anything lodged in the pipe. We had a toilet that clogged very frequently due to material caught at the base of the toilet by the floor. This removed that material and solved this problem.

All I can tell you is that it is a well built tool. It is much better then the flimsy type sold for less money. It has enough reach to navigate through toilet and unstop a regular log jam but I do try to break it up with a small stick before flushing toilet. I feel it is a good tool to have just in case. My suggestion to you is to make the investment and try it even if toilet is flushing now. You might fish up something that is just hanging in there causing some of your problems. I can not tell you it will fix your problem but I can say it works for me on my 1976 Kohler toilet. Buy it and try it you never know what you will catch or release. If you do get a log jam to unclog get yourself a small stick around 1"X1"X2'. Have a bucket ready to pour water into toilet and try to flush. If you are lucky it will flush without having to use tool. If you are not lucky you will need toilet auger to clear the obstruction and bucket to carry out tool to clean outside of house. I use the water hose to clean off tool after using it to release logs. Believe me high pressure water makes cleanup easier. Good luck with your clogs hope my comments were helpful.

Possibly, not to sound flippant but there might be other reasons the toilet doesn't flush all the time. Is there a minimal amount of water in the tank (not enough water force)? Is there an obstruction along the line that causes toilet paper to wrap around it? I have been well pleased with this device and since using it, I have not had any further clogs.

Possibly. However, before replacing the flush valve assembly, try tightening the existing one you have about a 1/4 turn and see if the leaking persists. Test the flushing after each 1/4 turn of tightening. If the leak stops and the toilet still flushes fine, no need to replace the valve.

As you don't say what the problems are, I suggest you clean it every time you use it also, remember to unscrew pin and wipe off often. I hope this helps since I have not had trouble with mine but clean often so it does not clog.

If you are not pushing the handle the toilet should never be flushing. try adjusting and make sure your chain is not to tight.

Yes, but there is an adjustment that can be done on the FlushSaver that seemed to have to mostly corrected that on my installation. Hope that helps. I might also add that FlushSaver company was very helpful with the questions I had. As I recall, we emailed back and forth with questions and answers.

It's worth a shot to try, though it depends how clogged the toilet is and with what lol.

I believe they would help a lot. I have a noisy toilet that likes to go off every 45 minutes or so, annoying as hell. It doesn't bother me when I've got my Hearos in. For the price, it's a great buy.

No. Not really. It works great. I have used a safety pin to clean it out every now and then but have never had it where it was completely clogged up.

If it is a Sloan flush mate And it is not being put into a American standard toilet it will workWhat did the bleach tablet actually do to itWhat is it doingYou may only have to replace a part

If the device is clogged underneath the attachment, then it wouldn't work efficiently. You can only wash the attachments, but I would give them all a deep clean and see if that helps. You could also have bent or slightly broken attachments, which wouldn't allow you to use attachments very well. I have to jimmy-rig one of my attachments or it won't work well at all.

See Mr Mike's answer. He has covered the subject well. How long have you had your toilet? It might still be in warranty period and AS will replace it free.

Seems to be a tough answer as the actual toilet the unit is attached to is likely completely different. Ours works and is positioned just fine.

From what I've read this particular auger is not for unclogging toilets. You'll need to search the one that is also for use with toilets.

This device works with a round, closed front toilet seat. I don't know about other types. I am considering swapping out the toilet seat for an open-front (round) style because of the urine-caused rusting problem from the device.

Could be a bad seal in the pump. Do you have an acummulator tank? They smooth out the flow. Leaks can be hard to see/find from the toilet. Coul be a bad switch.

I have 4 of those toilets in my house. Only one of them make a lot of moise when flushed. And that's because in is the only toilet that I've had to replace the float valve. The other three are operating quite nicely. I asked that the flush valve be replaced and it works fine now.
