Its hard to believe the options available on toilets these days. I feel like I am vehicle shopping.


Sounds like you need to consider what's going on past the toilet. You most likely have sewer issues, not toilet issues.


I thought of that possibility. Our other toilet, one of the original low-flow models from a lesser known manufacturer, works great. Both toilets connect to the main drain line not all that distant from each other. There is a chance there could be an obstruction in the pipe between them. However, the problem began with the installation of the newer toilet therefore, for now, I am blaming it.
