/diy/ - Do It Yourself

you can poop outside

>>1529242
have you tried pooping in a shipping container

>>1529242

God I wish that was me

Get a 5-gallon bucket from the hardware store. Fill it with a few gallons of water.
When you flush, dump water into the bowl to help flush those logs down.

>>1529242
Do like i did. Bore out ththe shitter tank and shitter hole. Run an arduino for auto flush teice and dump more water. Dont have it anymore and i dont code well so good luck

>>1529242
Install pic related if you are willing to spend $100.

Retail bathrooms always have them so they don’t have to send their employees in the john to play plumber every time a Mexican uses the toilet. I think they use less than 1.6gal, but they give you the high pressure like those toilets with the metal pipes running straight to them.

Keep a bottle of the cheapest dish detergent by the toilet, a shirt in it before you poop will turbo flush the toilet. Go try it, I’ll wait for your reaction...

Can’t, it’s full of imitation crab meat... don’t ask, long story.

Not op but I am tempted to try this and see what sorts of nerve gas unfolds

>>1529242

Lived by a friend with one once.

Took 3 flushes to get everything down every time especially since I was living on East German style food from ALDI.

Sure it was using 2.5 times more water than it if was one big flush

>>1529410
Go for it.

>>1529242
The hell you can't replace it!

I rent and replaced my crapper with a Champion toilet from American Standard.

>>1529427
Bless you

>>1529242
All you need to do is make an adjustment to the fill valve screw in my pic, which is used to set the water level in the tank. Keep screwing to adjust the float until the water level gets as close to the top of the refill tube as you can without going over, and you'll be flushing with as much water as possible. It always amazes me how many renters turn to advice on here, are absentee or untrustworthy landlords really all that common that people are not able or willing to communicate any issues to them?

>>1529242
>>1529363
I always lay toilet paper down in the bowl before to stop it from sticking. Does soap do that too?

>>1529862
The detergent causes the water to stick to it’s self and form chains, so once a little bit of the water makes it’s way around the bend, it pulls all the rest of the water with it, rather quickly.

(I actually considered marketing a small bottle that added detergent to the tank after every flush, as “Turbo Flush” but I figure the concept is too easy to copy...).

>>1529242
Sometimes it’s the horn on the wax ring slowing it down, sometimes the rim jets need to be poked with a wire hanger.
Sometimes the flapper only lets out 1/2 the tank of water, in which case if you hold the handle down and it flushed better you need an old school red korky flapper.

>>1529860
>Are absentee or untrustworthy landlords really all that common
Yes. Most of the time you're either renting from a land shark who is gentrifying the area and is only in it for the bare minimum of effort to still get tenants, or some multicorp that will legalese your ass to hell over breaches in contract when you ask for anything except the payment details.

>>1529860
Not OP. I've got one of those dual flush toilets with the buttons in the middle of the lid. Fucking sucks. The fill level adjustment does nothing for me because, even on max flush, the thing only empties half the tank before it stops flashing. The brand is a Costco Water Ridge Duel flush. Picture related. Any ideas how to fix it?

>Sometimes the flapper only lets out 1/2 the tank of water, in which case if you hold the handle down and it flushed better you need an old school red korky flapper.
This is basically what I have to do. Holding the button down is fucking annoying as shit though.

>All you need to do is make an adjustment to the fill valve screw in my pic...
Thanks for trying to help, but that's the first thing I tried in a series of failed measures before I came here for help. I'm not bad with toilet maint, just not with these low flow crap-pieces.

>>>1529242 (OP)
>Sometimes it’s the horn on the wax ring slowing it down, sometimes the rim jets need to be poked with a wire hanger.
Thanks; I'll try that. I live in a hard water area so they may be scaled half shut.
>Sometimes the flapper only lets out 1/2 the tank of water, in which case if you hold the handle down and it flushed better you need an old school red korky flapper.
Believe it or not, holding the flapper open makes little difference.

p.s. this is a Pro Flo toilet. It's cheap and awful.
Plumbing contractors: Don't skimp on your crappers!

You fucks and arduinos

>tfw apartment is so early 1900s that it doesn't even have outlets so I cant install a butt spray seat
At least the flush is strong

>>1529349
Only prob is the style you show were recalled due to exploding, sending a wave of broken porcelin into yer back, or your front. I had the original non-retrofit type (and besides every component of it being broke in some way), it did get the job done. Eventually they just gave up and now make 4" gravity based ones.
I bring my toilet with me when I move.

>>1529242
I have never met a residential toilet I couldn't clog, including the likes of 2 variants of the powerflush, any 'american standard', kohler (garbage), and a laundry list of who's who. Hands down pooping in a Jacuzzi (brand residential toilet) has been the best to date, so much that the 4" i brought with me is sitting in the garage.

If you are a wreck of a human being then you can say the same stuff they say about beds: you spend hours a day, why not make it good.

Keep the lever depressed until it all goes down.

Carry your own toilet with you everytime you move, swap apartment toilet with your own, set their's in a closet to put back when you move out.
Just like carrying your own shower head with you when you move, or such.

Everyone swaps the toilet seat for new one when they move in right? Or do most renters enjoy sitting on shit crust and crabs from the last tenant?

>tfw apartment is so early 1900s that it doesn't even have outlets so I cant install a butt spray seat
You only need an outlet if you want a butt warmer or blow dryer. I have a butt sprayer that hooks up to the sink hot water so no electricity needed

Plumber here. You won’t clog a Sydney caroma properly plumbed into a 4” pipe with a wax ring that doesn’t have a horn.
It has the largest outlet opening on the planet. A full 4” trapway. The downside is that you can flush your keys

>>1530572
I saw the pro flow at home cheepo today. 1 3/4 trapway. No wonder it clogs. Am standard titan is a 2 3/8-it’s what I bought (plumber here)
Caroma Sydney is a 4”

>>1529242
Just dumping a 5gal bucket in the bowl has worked for me.
I say get a 5gal bucket (or shipping container) mounted as high as possible, a huge quarter turn valve and a bigass pipe going into the bowl on a flex so it can be moved out of the way when sitting. Your very own dual-flush.

>>1531349
I could use one of these. My daughter takes elephant shits and frequently clogs the shitter, like every 3 weeks.

anon, what have you done.

>>1532294
Really don't know, we both eat the same stuff (wife's cooking) and my shits are like rope of stiff pudding, but the kid's shits are like a fat baby's forearm.

>>1532300
Opiates anon, Opiates.

>>1532319

what does Talena mean.

>>1532322
I don't want to respond.

If you have a healthy control subject for the same diet (you) then the diffrence in bowel movements may indicate other substances.
If you drink a fifth a night for a year you are going to need a seatbelt for the force of frothy crap being blasted out, if you are into opiates it's difficult, and what comes out you could build a quonset hut with those strong bricks.

Did she recently get some new freinds?
(Also, trust the journey and all that)

Oh. No I'm not a heavy drinker and never used opiates. Don't think there's any change in her friends situation.

>>1533165
See, they went to opiates, I would go to fiber and dehydration. I went on a high fiber diet to help with frequency and got very dehydrated from helping a friend build a deck (despite electrolytes and copious water). That was the biggest and painful shit I've ever experienced outside of the time I went camping and only ate MREs (which I'm going to assume your daughter isn't secretly a /k/ommando).

Long story short, make her drink more water.
