The toilet as it was flushing. The toilet seems to be
Flushing properly so far, but I`m concerned about it
Becoming problematic in the future. Is there something
I can pour into it to disintegrate it? It`s plastic.

Re: what to do for items dropped into toilet
Hello Speedball1,

Many thanks for your reply and advice. I tried what you
Suggested, and there doesn`t seem to be a problem.
I am curious to know what the diameter of the pipe be,
(just after the toilet flushes and before the main sewer).
The whole system is probably about 8 years old.
Another question please....what is a closet auger?
Please excuse these basic queries, but I happen to be
One of those very home-maintenance challenged people!
Thank you, once again for your help.

Cheers.......Penne
