How To Auger a Plugged Toilet
In this video, I show how I unclog a toilet using a toilet auger to clear a clogged toilet that won’t flush properly. Knowing how to unclog a toilet can save you time and frustration, especially when dealing with stubborn blockages. Augering is a straightforward technique for most clogs, but when the toilet won’t flush due to foreign objects, like a toy stuck in the toilet, it can be trickier to fix.
The auger is designed to “bite” into blockages when turned clockwise, helping you pull out obstructions. Occasionally, you’ll need to rotate counterclockwise to navigate around bends in the porcelain or to dislodge tougher blockages. In this video, the clog consisted of stool and toilet paper, and I had to extend the auger to its full 6-foot length to reach the plug. This is why I highly recommend a 6-foot auger-it’s saved me several times when dealing with blockages that shorter augers couldn’t reach.

If you’ve augered all the way through the toilet drain (about 6 feet) and the water still doesn’t drain, you likely have a larger issue, such as a main line blockage.
This auger includes an option to be operated with a drill, but I strongly recommend against using a drill, especially if you’re new to augering. Personally, I’ve never put a drill on one, as it’s easy to apply too much force with a drill, potentially causing damage. Manual operation allows for more control and lets you feel any obstructions more accurately, reducing the risk of overdoing it.
Safety Tip: Never place your hands directly into the toilet, as hidden sharp objects, such as needles, could be present.

Dude how much
@@christymcclure4012 there’s really good Black Friday deals on inflatable hot tubs right now, is that what you mean?
I have that one and the motor will stop working at 42 degree
@@s.c.4133 what do you mean? mine works when the outside air is below freezing temps.
Nice. What length and gauge of an extension cord were you using ? Thanks.
I'm not quite sure, honestly it may not have been a large enough gauge because i did trip a fuse 2 times only on the bigger bigger logs probably 14-16" diameter. It was an old fuse box with the light bulb fuses. I would Check into the manual on Harbor Freights Website and see if it mentions any requirements for extension cables. When i catch some time ill check into it if you haven't by then. If you do let us know what you find. Thanks
OSHA-approved jeans shorts and tennies? Don't give a crap about them eyeballs? At least ya got the ear pro on!
You're right, this video was made a few years back and there are many things that I could've done safer. It's always good to read product directions which should instruct proper safety equipment needed then what you need to do is follow through with what they say!
Lemme get 3 with mustard and kraut
Again, that wood must be sitting around for about a year.I had a seven ton and it didn't work that well
@@tomcosta47 how old would you like the logs to be ? I’ll do a video of it. Let me know please
Awesome I’m getting one!!!
I luvvv mine!!! So fun and relieves aches and pains!! Winter must!!
Happy hot tubbing!
I have this hot tub best purchase ever
That music
Love the set up jefe
Why drown them you sick fuck?!
Should use thermal tape instead of the duct tape
That’s not a bad idea, did you mean aluminum foil tape like the hvac guys use?
What type of outlet should this be plugged into? Im aftaid itll blow circuit.
I have mine plugged into a dedicated 20 amp outlet, as i thought it said that in the owners manual but when i checked just now all i can find are statements like "Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the current rate of the power outlet is suitable for the pump." and "If you are unsure about the quality of the electrical supply, please consult a qualified electrician before use" I will try to reach out to them and see if i can get a clearer answer from them.
on the BestWay Saluspa website FAQ: "Never use an extension lead to connect the spa heater to the power outlet. The spa heater must be connected directly to an earthed power outlet and able to support the power consumption of 2050W when the heating function is activated."
also "For safety reasons, Bestway's spa heater should always be plugged into an earthed power outlet. The power outlet must be high quality and able to support 2050W of power. When the spa heater is heating the water, if the power cord and the socket become hot, your power outlet may not meet the quality requested and may melt. To be sure that your power outlet is compliant with requested power, please consult your electrician."

This video helped so much with how to release the rest of the cable and how to gently get it down. Thank you!
Thanks, Glad you found it helpful!
Mine is brand new and keeps deflating. No hole butg i must be missing something. should I have to have it run all the time to keep it inflated? Thanks.
No that sounds odd, have you went from warm weather to cold? Sometimes that shift I will add a little more air. Was it inflated indoors and brought outdoors? Is the plug tightly inserted? Maybe spray the plug with soapy water if it bubbles it could be leaking slowly. Could also be manufacturer defect. Here’s Saluspa customer service page: bestwayusa.com/customer-support?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAocQcNO3U5O_2rN9S70CccTlj3gq-&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_4_U887eiQMV-Eb_AR17_jWFEAAYASAAEgLBkvD_BwE

Just seeing if anyone’s paying attention, there’s no point.

Thank You for the video. I was wondering what some of the filters were for. I only knew about the orange one and the roller. My vacuum was getting to where it wasn't doing such a great job. Now I know why!! Those other filters were in much need of being replaced. I am glad I found your video.
Thank You!

How many watts does it draw when heating? Can this be plugged into a 1500w propane generator?
I can't say for certain if it could or could not, I would reach out to the manufacturer to see what they say it requires. Bestway Saluspa, Intex, Etc. Bestway: bestwayusa.com/contact?srsltid=AfmBOoq8LkYYhBK5idONf-KqmpujgTatBDCsgo-EciKa0vEul0eyKYL9 Intex: intexcorp.com/contact-us
It's a lucky thing to have a healthy dog for so long. I got about a 10 year old dog and it already hurts thinking he'll be gone. It seems the longer you have a dog the harder it is.
Thanks she’s young at heart, she’s got a mass the size of a nerf football on her leg but it doesn’t stop her at all. I haven’t seen her go under a deck in years though🥹. Yeah it will be hard when she goes…
Man strangest thing ever I just lost her early Monday morning, she some how got bloated, her stomach flipped and tied I suspect… she was playing/wrestling well earlier on Sunday with a young puppy (8 months old) I don’t know if she exerted herself and flipped her stomach or what. love your dog some more. I thought I’d have time to prepare and expect her passing but it can go like that.
@michigantreetops wow sorry to hear that brother. At least you gave her a wonderful life full of love and she is very thankful for that.
Im sure Ive asked this before , but which is this exact one? Can you add a link? This one looks pretty large. Like the square better than round. TIA 🫶🏻
@@ivyg5170 this is the Saluspa Ibiza 4-6 person inflatable hot tub. It’s about 2.5-3 years old now and I’m not sure this specific model is being made/sold still under the name “Ibiza” its dimensions are about 71” L x71” W and 26” tall. I hope this helps I’ll post a link to a similar model below: amzn.to/3UIF9ng
I got one for my birthday last week and it’s the best gift I’ve ever bought myself. I love it. It’s so easy to put up and I can even take the tops off myself. ❤❤❤
Congrats on the new hot tub! Happy warm waters!
Blew the seal after 4 hours of use. It worked great until it didn’t.
Take it back, probably had a defect.
I have a major issue and would like to know if anyone else has experienced it. When I set up my spa and filled it, the vinal floor had a slimy film. It was impossible to stand or even kneel on it. I had to roll over the edge to get out! (I hadn't set it up before the return policy expired) I drained it and scrubbed the bottom with Dawn Dishwashing Liquid which I had found to be amazing for removing oil stains. I just refilled it but it's still slick! Any suggestions???
It’s going to be a little slick because it’s brand new, unless there’s a bio build up have you shocked the water real well, is your water from a well or municipality/company. The nature of it is to be somewhat slippery it’s kind of unavoidable. I wonder if dish soaps may make it more slippery. I wish I had some kind of answer but it’s hard without seeing and being there.
What I mean is brand new maybe more slippery than my almost 3 year old tub. I would use caution if you plan to use it so you don’t fall/slip. Probably any tub not just yours you mix water and vinyl it’s going to get slippery….
@@michigantreetops This is far beyond "a little slick" and it's just as slippery now that I've drained it again. It feels like it's coated with Vaseline! Try rollerskating on an ice hockey rink! The side walls are fine.
@ the only time I’ve ever had that happen was one time I let the sanitizer levels drop to almost nothing for a day or two quickly the entire tub was coated with a bio film that was slippery. Were your sanitizer levels proper when it was filled?
Very nice I'm not sure why but this is relaxing to me
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
I have another brand one,a PROYAMA wood splitter from Amazon.For a Homeowner with limited duty this little splitter is very good. While this is a compact unit for storage and moving around - it is heavy! I see some people mounting this on a small wagon and towing to the site they want to split wood at. If you are on flat terrain, not a big deal to move around for most, on hilly terrain, the small wheels make it a pain in the a$$. That being said, I like it, and it works well for my needs. As I trim trees on my property I cut the limbs and trunks to be split for firewood.And it also comes in a version with a stand.
@@Wayne-fu9qz thanks for the comment I looked at this one before opting to choose the harbor freight one. Here’s a link for anyone who would like to see the Proyama electric log splitter: amzn.to/3NPQXQH
I have a dog just like it and she’s like 75% tumor but she’s in no pain and she’s so happy and she’s 14
What size garden hose is that
Length might only be 15’-20’ but i think its 5/8”.
The drain on the hot tub is 3/4” male garden hose thread, the hose I hooked to it is 3/4” Female garden hose thread.
@@michigantreetops thanks appreciate you replying back
Bro, I’m trying to see how the fucking program the remote control not how much you fucking bought it for you dumb fuck
Looks relaxing
You going to start a chimney fire with that pine lol
I would have put a new filter on after all that cleaning. I have a sovereign hot springs spa and no one will repair it. One guy wanted 2,000$ just to come over to see it. Terrible company. A independent contractor took the tub apart to fix it and left it disassembled. Then charged me 600$. Welcome to Martha’s Vineyard Island land of crooks.
I can’t remember if I did replace the filter or not (maybe off camera I may have), but usually after a clean I agree it’s a good idea to replace it on these inflatable hot tubs. The filters for these hot tubs are cheap like 3.00 each so replacing isn’t to big of a cost. I’m sorry to hear about your experience with your hot tub. Contractor prices have gone through the roof it seems.
Great saw,ive cut several cord of firewood with mine over the years. Those bars can be dressed with a regular file or bar dressing tool. Theyll last you several years if they dont get bent. Ive got a few that are 12-14 years old.
Chicken thighs for the win! And on the bbq so good! Going to the store to get some for tonight lol
Best cut of chicken in my opinion! Have a good dinner!
We got a WiFi enabled pump when we filed for our recall replacement!
Lucky! I really wish I had gotten one I heard a lot of people say stories similar to yours!
I had a saluspa Dominica. They didn’t have pumps in stock so they sent me an entire Hawaii hydrojet pro!
Not affected 🙏🏾. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for your vid - after storing for the summer, do you do anything to flush the system? Like flush it through with bleach or anything?
@@lonesome_crowded_life thank you, I don’t store it during the summer, I like it even during the summer I just like it a lot more during winter. But if I did I would clean it and dry it completely before storage - To prevent any mold mildew growth during the summer storage. I wish I had more but I don’t do it personally, there are some really good Facebook groups you could try on inflatable hot tubs possibly someone there would know.
Been two weeks for me, the guy got lucky by saying doesn't take long. I sent them a warning from my lawyer about violating consumer rights by not sending me one and they sent it in one day😂
I made the recall claim pretty early probably before the rush of everyone else mine did come very quickly (1 week about) but yeah I’m sure they’re getting a lot of claims filed now that it’s is out there.
How often do you keep the pump and heater running?
@@GenesisTyler749 24/7 pump is always on, the heater is set to temp and if it calls for heat it will turn on I believe.
It’s important to note if power goes out, you must goto unit and power back on when power is restored it will not turn back on by its self.
Thanks for the demonstration
Thank you. Worked great!
@@plajr924 glad to hear! Thanks for watching 😊
On average how long does it take to drain? Thanks again!
@@ian1753 maybe an hour or so, hard to say.
@@ian1753 make sure that flapper in the bottoms of the tub is held open it likes to self close or rest right over the outlet
I’m trying to fill for first time. Do I have to push hard down on bottles?
@@sallyhallman I didn’t think too hard, make sure you have it all lined up right:)
Had mine for 10 years, still splits whatever I need done. Mounted mine on a leftover metal machine stand from my old woodshop, no kneeling or bending over....you will understand that advantage when you get to be my age (75), bring wood to be split in one wheel barrow, toss splits in another wheel barrow, when barrow is full, stack it immediately. No tossing it in a pile on the ground...which just means you have to bend over again to pick it up!
@@mikeh8228 wow that’s great to hear yours has lasted so long, yeah I actually put mine up on a table since making this video and it was a lot easier. I’ll have to put the wheel barrow next to it though I like that! Keep up the good work!
Not good on rocky soil.
Yeah and I had a few rocks, roots depending on size are tough too.
That can be said for stronger hand held augers too. You need the right tool for the job, and this can work wonderful for many. Not everyone needs an industrial hole digger.
