I am dealing with a toilet with a stubborn partial blockage (i.e. very slow draining) which easily becomes a full blockage with too much waste.
However, it has a curious characteristic in that, when allowed time to drain, the water in the bowl empties almost completely, i.e. goes much lower than it would during normal unblocked operation.
How is that happening, some kind of strange siphoning effect?
I plunged the absolutel #!&% out of it on a number of occasions and am still not getting the whooshing unblock event that I hope for.
Any ideas? Is it possible that it's backed up further down, into the drains? I've unblocked toilets a bunch of times before and normally, if the over-fill-the-bowl trick doesn't work, one quick plunge will do it. But this is just solid, won't clear.
Any ideas appreciated. I guess I may have to take the pan connector off and go in that way...
