I had an elongated Kohler Wellington installed nearly three weeks ago. It clogged after only about a week and a half. Plunging couldn't unclog it, so the plumbing place I bought it from unclogged it for free.
I am upset about this. I hate fighting with a toilet and feel scared to use it for what it was designed for. I try to go at work or run to a public place. This is ridiculous and I won't stand for it.
What embarrasses me is that I want to get rid of it and replace it with maybe a Toto Drake. I don't even want to give the Kohler a chance because, as you know, clogs come at the most inopportune times like evenings, weekends, and holidays. Of course I'm not rich, but the main feature I'm looking for is the closest thing there is to uncloggability. I thought I'd found that in the elongated Kohler Wellington, but from reading certain things I'm afraid maybe I haven't.
I'm wondering if I work with a new plumbing outfit, if they can maybe sell the Kohler since it's so new and give me a discount or something. It's embarrassing to even ask such a question. I live alone and am not getting any younger, though, and don't want to spend money on plumber visits if I can't unclog a toilet.
I'm willing to eat the money lost on this if I can get a toilet I won't have to fear will clog a lot. It's just embarrassing to admit to a plumber what I consider to be a mistake by purchasing the Kohler and I could use some advice on how to word things correctly without looking like a total fool.
I had toilet frustration before I got the new elongated Kohler, so this dates back a while. I just never want to clean up another overflow.
