Tomorrow I get a new toilet!!
An American Standard Champion 4 Max...capable of flushing a bucket of golf balls in 1.5 seconds. Whoooosh. Honest. Check it out on YouTube. It's for the hall bath...and another for our currently being totally remodeled master bath. I heartily recommend watching the video as it is at once surreal and awe inspiring. I'm on my dang iPad and forget how to copy and paste a link but I'm sure it's easy to find. Not for the squeamish.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Ol'Pal, if your having to flush golf balls, you might want to get in to see your physician. 😳

Here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD0x34e-V9UOlpal, be sure the drains are clear and properly vented. If you have an older house with trees, dump some copper sulfate down the drain(if it is legal where you live). If your drains are running slow, it may not be a bad idea to run a rooter through them first. High power toilets are no match for root clogged drains, and blowback ain't pretty  .

I put enzymes through on a regular basis. But this (the new master bath) is the last of many renovations we've done since moving into this house. Our existing toilets are sixties large tank type which flush only so so and take forever to refill. Hoping these new ones are "life changers". :-) I'll keep ya posted. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXVHwfuVY1kHere's the one I was talking about.

Sounds like you are on top of it.
Have you ever set a toilet? I've set a few thousand in my 15 years as a plumber. It's not hard, you just have to be careful with the porcelain(and your back). I'll be around tomorrow if you have any questions.
Don't forget the wax rings.

Funny you should mention that.
Let's not go into details - suffice to say that my life this side of the border involves some seriously humiliating moments in hotels and that I've come to call our plunger Excalibur. :s
Earlier this week when my wife asked what was the first thing I wanted changed in the house, the toilet was my top choice. I fight with that darn thing every other day. :s

I lived and worked in Arkansas 1984-1998. Real nice place, full of friendly, decent folks. But when I traveled out of state, I was frecuently asked certain questions:
#1 What do you think of Bill Clinton?
#2 Does everybody wear shoes there?
#3 Do you have indoor plumbing?
Cheers,
Bert

One of our toilets is a habitual offender and I'm always on plunge duty at our home (even had to do this last night). I'm getting a bit fed up with this and thinking of replacing them.
Both toilets in our house are the smaller ones, so it seems to be true that the size of the toilet makes a "big" difference in the lack of clogging up dept. no?
BTW, congrats olpal on the new Throne!!

I just can't stand those toilets with a small round seat... At 6'4" and over 250 lbs., I feel like a gorilla perched on top of a teacup...

I believe you'd feel like a Gorilla visiting my "library". I thik I'll be looking to get a set like what OlPal suggested.........if I can only find a bucket of golf balls somewhere.
