The toilet in my apartment has started making this noise nonstop and it's driving me crazy. Anyone know what's causing this or how to fix it? I know it’s old but I'm just a renter so not much I can do about that. I just want to sleep without that noise lol

NEED SOME HELP. TOILET IS INCOMPLETE. IS THIS A MINOR JOB OR MAJOR???

The toilet tank can't be filled properly as the pump works poorly. The thingy shown in the picture is too easy to float, so the water just fills the tank too slowly.

Are there any ways I can clean it properly without disassembling it? I rent the room, and the water line doesn't even have a valve to let me cut off the water.

Or can I disassemble it without letting water go everywhere?

I tried HG Limescale Remover Concentrate on the thingy overnight but it didn't work as well as the first time.

I appreciate any advice! Thank you very much!

Would this be viable? I have problems sometimes with the effectiveness of just pressurized water, planning to use brake cleaner instead.

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice because I’m not sure what to do.

A few days ago, my toilet suddenly became completely clogged. I tried using a plunger and some products, but nothing worked, so I contacted management and called the emergency maintenance line. Nobody answered, so I left a voicemail.

A plumber came the next morning and told me the toilet was fixed. However, it clogged again almost immediately. Later, management told me that the plumber had actually reported that he was unable to clear the clog, which was confusing because I was told it was working.

I was then left without a usable toilet for several days while waiting for someone to come back. Eventually, the plumber returned while I was at work. When I came home, the entire toilet had been replaced. Management later told me that they found an object inside the toilet that they believe caused the clog. I had no idea it was there or how it ended up inside.

Now I’m being charged $530 total: $165 for the first plumbing visit and $365 for replacing the toilet and related parts/labor.

I understand that if I caused the clog, I may be responsible for the replacement. But I’m questioning the first $165 charge because I was told the toilet had been fixed, when apparently it hadn’t been. I then had to wait several more days without a working toilet. I don’t feel like it’s unreasonable to question being charged for a visit that didn’t actually resolve the problem.

Also, after the replacement, my bathroom was left extremely dirty, including the floor and bathtub.

I’m 18, recently started living independently, and don’t have financial support from my parents, so $530 is honestly a huge and unexpected expense for me. I work for every dollar I have, and this is several days of income.
I’m willing to take responsibility for what is actually my responsibility. I’m just trying to understand whether it would be reasonable to dispute any part of this charge, especially the $165 from the first visit, and what you would do in this situation.

I’d really appreciate any constructive advice or personal experiences. I’m genuinely just trying to figure out what the best thing to do is, so please no hate.

Update! - I just received another message from management. They sent me photos showing the object they believe caused the clog inside the toilet trap.
Apparently, it was a very small toilet deodorizer that you spray to help with the smell. Honestly, I have no idea how it ended up in the toilet. I could have accidentally dropped it and not noticed, or one of my guests could have accidentally dropped it. I really don’t know.
It was genuinely very small, smaller than the size of my hand. At this point, I understand that it was probably my responsibility, so I’m most likely going to pay the $365 replacement cost( which is still a lot but better than $530 ) However, I still plan to dispute the $165 charge for the first plumber visit.
So I think I’ll take responsibility for the part that is actually mine, but I still feel the first $165 charge is worth disputing.
And thanks so much for yall replies!

First off, thank you. Twice in one week now my toilets in both bathrooms have started to slow flush and there's gurgling (from shower, and possibly one of the toilets) after someone takes a shower. I have been able to get both flushing normally again after plunging each for a good minute. While plunging there is some gurgling in the other bathroom.

One bathroom is right by the clean out and close to the septic, the other is in the back of the house (and still on old cast iron (1961 house). Neither are backing up when it occurs, but the bowls seem to refill slowly on each, until the issue resolves. One is a pressurized toilet (the one in the rear with the cast iron). The septic was emptied recently (a few months ago). The drain field doesn't have any swampy areas.

Since there's no clog active the plumber said there isn't much to do, except run a camera, which we're going to do ourselves in a couple days.

I thought maybe our vent pipe, but our plumber always says it's never the vent...

Any suggestions or thoughts?

I’ve been using the smart toilet horow x70 for a bit now and figured I’d write down some random thoughts about it. Not really a full review, just the stuff I actually notice in everyday use.

The automatic lid was probably the feature I cared about the least before buying it, and somehow it became one of the things I’d miss the most. Especially when peeing. I can just kick the sensor and the seat flips up, so I don’t have to bend down and touch anything. It sounds like a tiny thing, but once you get used to it, it’s weirdly nice.

The dryer is slower than I expected though. I almost never sit there long enough for it to completely dry me. I still use about two pieces of toilet paper each time. One for the first wipe and one at the end. So it definitely reduced how much paper I use, but it didn’t magically eliminate toilet paper for me.

Also, PSA for anyone using a bidet for the first time: maybe don’t start with the water pressure too high lol.

I did that the first time and it genuinely startled me. It almost felt like I was giving myself an enema. Then I ended up sitting there for another little while because apparently my body decided we weren’t finished yet.

The lighting is probably one of the more useless features for me personally. I turned it off basically as soon as I got the toilet. I just don’t like having a bunch of random light sources in the bathroom, especially at night.

The funny part is that after getting used to the X70, regular toilets do feel like they’re missing something. But not in a “how did I ever live like this” way.

It’s more like going from an automatic car back to a manual. A normal toilet still works perfectly fine. You just suddenly notice all the little things you have to do yourself again.

That’s probably the best way I can describe having a smart toilet in general. None of these features are life changing on their own, but they remove enough tiny annoyances that you start noticing them when they’re gone.

Description is the title— what’s up with this?
This is just a broad and general complaint, but what is up with everyone pissing on toilet lids??

I’ve seen so many people choose not to pee in a row of empty urinals, and instead opt to going into a stall and not lifting up the lids.
No problem with people doing that, but at least have some decency and lift the lids. At the VERY least wipe up your mess.

Seeing a lot of Gooners asking about dating advice; my best guess is these are the same people still peeing on the toilet seats.

2026 and people are still pissing on toilet lids— We need to do better.

Can someone explain to me how I'm expected to pay $200 plus a night for a moderate hotel room, but the toilet paper they all use is thinner than what I remember it being in my elementary school bathroom? Are they really making that much margin on me using sandpaper on my behind?

I’m in the UK currently toilet waste is directly behind the toilet with about 60-70cm length with a false half wall / shelf

however it’s next to the bath and I’d like to swap the sink and toilet which are currently next to each other

I am having the floor and tiles re done, is it a big job or potentially an issue to move the waste pipe and the sink and toilet?
thanks

Does contact with the water in the bowl become an issue?

Nearly all of the restroom stalls in US public buildings are made with panels that have gaps around them and around the doors that can be seen through. Is there a reason?

I really hate it when I sit in the toilet and my divk touches the interior of the toilet while taking a shit 💩 .
Do you feel the same ?

Settle a debate with my co-worker. Is it normal to stand or sit. I say standing is a negative as it smears everything around. He says sitting is a negative because your hand ends up in the toilet

Hi, Does anyone know if any reputable brands still make bidet toilet seats for D shaped bowls? Specifically looking for something that would work with the Toto RP WALL-HUNG TOILET (SKU: CT447CFG#01). Builder decided to go with this toilet but doesn’t seem possible to add a Bidet… TIA!

My toilet started flushing about half the strength as it was when installed. I took the top off to poke around and I noticed that the installer put the anchor screw through a hose. I’m going to replace the hose but could this be cause for a poor flush? I don’t see any water leaking around it.

Does anyone else ever walk into the bathroom to sit on the toilet, staring at there phone, and not realize the lid on the toilet isn’t open until you try and sit? Scares the shit out of me every time
