Bathstore Bog Blocked - My Diet ????

[dizzyblonde]

is it flushing a lot of water in it, to force it all down the u bend? or just a bit of a trickle

Its a dual flush and loads of water is flying down there.
A bucket sorts it well though.
Im not impressed. They look nice and all but the function is not great. Shame. The rest of the bathroom is nice and fitted well and works great.

that really sounds poor, mine is fine, just a little economic compared to old, still my water pressure is like the niagra falls!! There'll be a real plumber around here somewhere if you hang around long enough.

you got kids that may have put rubber ducky down there?

Some people do talk a lot of $hit on this forum....

Teehee

I have good pressure and no stuff in there that didnt ought to be. Shame I just have to take it out and try another one.
Thats enough on this please its like yorkie said we are talking c**p

Funny that, my new bog is a lot more picky about what will go down it as well. Must be that there a little smaller round the u-bend maybe??

You paid ?200 for a bog??? That's effing nuts! (imho)
I paid that for my whole suite and no it's not a cheapy one from B&Q!!!!!!!!!!!

As for it not flushing properly, if chucking some water down it clears it then i would say the water level in the cistern is set too low. There is normally a line inside the cistern that shows where the water level should be

Depending on how old your old one was there shouldn't be a huge difference in flush volumes. The really old ones had a 9litre flush, then most were changed to 7.5litre flushes (which is the most you're meant to fit now) but you'll find the newer dual flushes have 3/6litre flushes. The maximum permitted volume of flushing water is set in accordance to the water regs.
The level in the pan is governed by what building regs say. So there is a minimum trap
