- This toilet is 53 years old never flushed correctly. Plumbers have looked at it. It has been snaked many times. The cost has been enormous over the years. $ Thousands of dollars spent trying to correct the issue. We recently 2018 found out that the toilet was engineered wrong by Eljer. Now what? 53 years!
Your siphon jet hole is clotted with calcium deposits. So what you need to do is shut the water off, flush it and make sure all the water in the toilet bowl is gone. Then pour some Lime Away in there, let sit for a few days and it will eat away all these mineral deposits that have built up inside the siphon jet. You might even be able to dig out the remainder with a wire hanger.
You need to clear out the siphon jet port on the bottom. Calcium deposits have clogged it and the toilet bowl does'nt fill up fast enough to displace air in the trap to suck the water out. The reason the water goes down when you swirl it the other way it it diverts the flow enough into the trap to displace the air and start a siphon. I have a toilet that swirls that way and it flushes fine.
Wrong
@@ThomasAnger1 Arrogant!
What you said is not true. The siphon jet is blocked. The reason spinning the plunger worked is because it forced water up in the trapway like the siphon jet would do if it wasn't blocked
Okay then, How do we unblock th siphon jet?
@@ThomasAnger1 So basically we're gonna wanna get a coat hanger or something and start picking at the junk inside the jet. Alternately you could use muriatic acid by just pouring down the overflow tube in the tank. Most likely either of those two things should work but if they don't, sadly the toilet will have to go.
@Virginian Toilets And Restroom Tours You can't buy a good one for any price either
You would need something like a screwdriver to clear that out, a coat hanger would bend because those minerals are pretty hard.
This toilet has a clogged siphon jet. If it has been giving your family problems for that long, something must have fallen down through the tank and gotten stuck. Then over the years minerals filled in the gap.
the siphon jet is clogged, it needs to be snaked.
Wrong
@@ThomasAnger1 you sure you snaked it? cuz it looks like a clogged siphon jet
That is a Eljer walford
This toilet is from 1966.
You are correct
The nutcracker suite
Nice!! That looks like a 1977 eljer walford toilet.
1966
@@ThomasAnger1 10 years earlier than 77. I was guessing.
@@ThomasAnger1 maybe designed to be sold in the southern hemisphere, where water would spin the opposite way?
@@djangokeli Nope, because toilets can swirl either direction in the northern hemisphere and still work perfectly fine. The same rule should apply for the southern hemisphere.
If the toilet was designed and built poorly it won't work. This one was obviously a defect...
