I have a toilet that did not flush well at all. I took the toilet off and tried to clear it from the bowl and from the bottom of the toilet. I used a flexible plastic rod about 14" long. I could not find anything in it, but this homemade device would not let me go from one opening to the other opening of the toilet.
I had noted that it would flush when I dumped a bucket in the toilet, so I was advised to see if the little jets around the top of the toilet bowl were clogged. They were. I unclogged them and reinstalled the toilet. The jets around the top of the bowl are now working, but it won't flush at all now. I suspect that something is still clogged inside it, and got moved to a worse position, or I did not but the bowl over the wax ring properly. I did that without any assistance. Can you clog the toilet this way?
My question is what do you think my problem is? My other question is, is there a device that will go all the way through the toilet to unclog it?
