New designs, good plumbing, we have an American Standard

However, we are 21 years in a 28 year old house.

When we moved in there was no conditioner on our very hard
limestone water. The toilet had a 3/8 inch buildup of stone in the
bottom. I cleaned it with a hammer and screwdriver, as far down as I could reach. Eventually it continually plugged. Took it out and knocked a hole in
it to see what was happening. The buildup had constricted it down to
about 1 1/2".

Replaced it with an American Standard just like our current one.
About 10 years later, it started plugging.
We have a conditioner, so it didn't get buildup?
Was certain something got flushed.
Wife had one of those storage things above the tank.
Perfect setup for a comb or something to get in.


Anyway, was wrong.
It had a buildup of sandy stuff in it.
Not real hard, but solid.
So, in about 8 years when it backs up,
I'm getting a new one.
The other two I fought for over a year until
they just wouldn't work.

Not again,
A new throne is under $200.

Try this stuff. It is top quality.
