After reading this forum and speaking to several local plumbers, I replaced a toilet that was backing up often (~ weekly) in our master bath with a Toto Drake. Although the Toto doesn't back up as often, it still backs up periodically... approx. 2 or 3 times/mo. Only 1 member of my family has this problem (and she has it with other toilets in the house also). The Drake (nor its predecessor) has never backed up on me... so I don't think it's the plumbing lines. Also, the house is < 15 years old. The user who encounters the problems is NOT putting anything down the toilet that shouldn't be flushed. Is not using too much TP, etc. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.
Question... how do I solve this problem? I recently learned of pressure assist toilets. In particular a Koehler Highline appears to get good reviews. Will this Koehler provide a more powerful flush vs. the Toto (I know they're loud... at this point I don't care). I'd consider putting a commercial grade toilet in if it solves my problem. Appreciate any comments and suggestions.
