How do you effectively plunge a toilet like the Drake which has an elongated "collection" area. The standard plunger will not seal properly therefore not allowing a forceful plunge. Any vigorous plunging just results in water shooting everywhere.
I should say I installed this Drake about 3 years ago based on insight I got from this forum and am tickled pink with it. I've replaced the valve cap once and have had to lightly one-pump plunge it maybe 2-3 times over those years. Seems now I may have a partial clog that, for the past week, occasionally flushes sluggishly (when tissue is used) but has clogged fully on a couple of flushes. My assumption is that a persistent partial clog becomes fully (or near fully) clogged on some uses. I just can't get a satisfactory plunge to satisfy I'm actually clearing the assumed persistent partial blockage.
