Commode keeps plugging. sometime it good 3 months A snake clears it in 4 -5 ft. commode on line always runs.

[coffeeman]

So I think it's not on line just clogging near flusher. I think it's the water saving feature. flush doesn't move crap good.then. so crap jams next if don't hold handle for full flush it jams. Snaking out 3 to 4 feet frees it. Rest of line OK 2nd Commode down line flushes good.so lines not clogged.
I think if I had no water saver on crapper all would be good. Most all crappers are water savers. Might need flusher that sends a power flush.
like a big "swoosh" if there is such a thing. There are about 8 guys from road construction that use bathroom daily but, Usually not bad ,
Any & all ideas will be appreciated.

Hold handle down for full flush. Problem solved.

Friend was having similar problem last winter, turned out to being caused by the vent for that toilet being plugged from ice storm , the other toilet worked fine.

Quit pooping square turds.... Eat more roughage. Problem solved. Those hammerheads cannot make the bend...

Many of the tank-type toilets at my employer's facilities are water saver types.
Push handle and let go gives a short flush for liquids only.
Push handle and hold gives a longer flush for solids.

If that truly is the problem, put a sign by the toilet asking people to hold the handle down for the full flush. Most people will comply.

Having a trusty poop stick may be in order.

If you’re pooping more than once a day, you’re eating too much.

Working for apartment houses and child care facilities made me an attority on toilets since both places flush everything imaginable down toilets. You discription of ok for a while after snaking then pluuging back up shortly point's to an object lodged in toilet catching paper and waste until clooged agin after clearing. The preferred tool for looking to see what the object is and how best to remove it can be bought at auto parts stores. Borescope/vedio inspection/inspection camara. Some places loan them. Inexpesive but does the job is inspection mirror on a handle and a flashlight.
While we are on the subject I'll give a toilets 101 course that everyone can use. To get the best flush possible from any toilet,be-it 5 gallon or 2 gallon flush,adjust leingth/amount of flush. Remove lid from tank in order to watch flapper operation. Press and release handle. Flapper should stand straight up and 1 secound before or at the same moment water in bowl makes it's exit the flapper should fall into closed position. If ballcock has been adjusted to put more water than optimum in tank the water in bowl will go down and hesitate and become lazy instead of "sucking" out. Some toilets in combonation with high water service pressure refill's tank much to fast and memic's overfilled tank. If flapper falls before water in bowl reaches lowest point,ballcock has been adjusted to put too little water in tank.
Another thing that can cause poor/no flush is restricted sypon jet hole. Some have it,some don't but it's easy to see and test. Look in front at bottom of bowl for a hole the size of your finger. If lime and guck restrict's flow the toilet won't flush well. If time permit's remove water and pour enough vinigar to cover hole overnight to soften lime. Bent wire,pocket knife,screwdriver or such is required to dislodge lime crust.

Fill a bucket with hot water from the bathtub. Flush the toilet - as the water is flushing, pour the hot water from the bucket into the toilet in a nice heavy steady flow (so that it keeps flushing). That increased volume of steady hot water flowing through helps somewhat if there is a small clog down the line.

Might need flusher that sends a power flush.

There is, we installed one in a bathroom with a long sewer line. No problems since.
It has a bladder in the tank that is filled until a certain PSI is attained. When the water is released the flush is assisted by the pressure

My folks had a similar problem. They finally solved the problem - when they tossed the toilet into a dumpster for a reno a kids plastic toy car came out of the trap, size of a tennis ball.

Sometimes you just run into a bad toilet that rarely flushes well. I replaced one after a few years of frequent plunging with a different toilet (both Kohlers, neither expensive) and haven't needed a plunger since. Nothing wrong with the first toilet, nothing plugging outlet or vent, just a bad toilet.

 

[LD1]

Look into the flushmasters.

They are a bladder tank. Dont know if you can retrofit or if you need a whole new toilet.

But its a bladder similar to an expansion tank. As water fills, the bladder compresses the air up to whatever your water line pressure is (50-60psi). Then when you flush....you are fulshing with pressure not gravity.

That’s my opinion of the problem. You shouldn’t have to hold the handle down either. Throw the toilet away and get another one.

More to a toilet decision than I thought:

This. We had the same problem and it was a plastic McDonalds lid that apparently fell in, got flushed, and got stuck somewhere in the toilet (thanks kids). Had flushmates throughout the house at one point but they don't last and I went back to regular. If you have a modern water saver toilet and it won't flush, it's either a you problem or a blockage problem - it ain't the toilet.

My toilets have also seemed weak with no swirl so I decided to clean the siphon holes out. I used a cotter pin puller for the holes under the top rim and a bent HD wire for the bottom hole. I got aggressive and cleaned them. WOW....the difference was unreal! They now have lots of water swirling around........thanks!

After experiencing repeated flushing problems, I rationalized that modern reduced-flush toilets were probably engineered to close specs and that mineral build-up was impeding the design flow. I pulled the hopper and took it outside for a muriatic acid de-mineralization that removed considerable deposits. While the toilet was off my closet auger could reach further down the soil pipe from which I extracted Donatello, a teenaged mutant ninja turtle figurine. When confronted, my grandson reminded me that those turtles lived in sewers.
