Hey guys,
I'm an electrician with nothing but respect for plumbers. Hard work that requires brains, from what I see.
Help me out with my toilet? It has been in place for about 11 years. The main flush comes from a jet at the front, the bottom of the bowl. This shoots straight at the exit at the back of the bowl and carries away the solids.
Over the years there has been a mineral build up. A few years back I identified this at the input, and I drained out the water and chiseled it off. The flushing improved substantially.
Recently I tried the same thing. There now is a substantial build up on the exit. I am assuming that the build up exists all the way up the exit to the top of the water level. I don't see how I am going to break that off and regain function. As it stands, I rarely have a successful flush these days.
Any thought?
