    Slow Draining Toilet
    My toilet is going down slow. We have to plunge it to go down. Does that mean we have to get a new one or is something else wrong?

    going down slow.
    I assume that mean when you flush. If so it means you have a blockage in the sewer pipe. If plunging doesn't fix, you will have to snake the line to clear.

    Hi Banditord and Welcome to The Plumbing Page at AMHD.com. You're responding to a 3 year old dead threads so I gave you one of your own. Please check the date before you post. Thanks
    More details please! When you flush. Does the water go up to the top and swirl around and slowly drain off? Let me know. Back to you, Tom
