I installed one of those for a client last year. His issue was that his medication was giving him very hard turds and they were getting stuck in the trapway on his old toilet so we were out there twice a week to auger his toilet out. I recommended installing a toilet with an XL trapway and he hasn't called me since it was installed. Those are also pressure assist. For a client on a budget they'll get the job done for less than $200.
See, I got this so my kids would stop cloggin the toilet with massive solid turds. My teenage daughter somehow jammed it up....only happened once, but now I'm in doubt of their "7 billiard balls" capacity....probly really 6 balls.
I had one like this too.. kinked an auger cause of how hard these things were. He would only take a new toilet if it was a specific color. I started charging alot more every trip out til he decided to use someone else.
If big toilet industrial complex really cared about their consumers they'd offer a free poop knife with every toilet. Instead, we get this.
Next edition, flush 6 bowling balls!
I loved the story. Thank you. Whereas we didn't have a poop knife, we did have a plunger handle that we used in a similar manner. But I always blamed ours on those transitional toilets sold in the late 90's.
Honestly, if this is a real issue... And I unfortunately do believe it, ... At my last job our manager impressed all of the company with an incredible clog....
Anywho, wouldn't it be worthwhile to invent a water knife or something to chop up said mess?
Can confirm: my late father in law was the director and engineer at American Standard that started the whole "billiard ball flushing" campaigns.
Miss you, Mike!
Because it’s a cheaply made Glacier Bay that they have to gimmick you into buying.
They don’t want you to know this: poop and toilet paper ain’t slick like billiard balls are. And I’d bet the trapway isn’t glazed.
I bought one of these for a rental I was living. It was an emergency and it was the only toilet in my budget at the time . It works great, more worried about getting parts for the pressure tank if it ever fails
I just installed one of these for an acquaintance the other day.. he is the kind of guy where I felt like I had to remind him that flushing billiard balls down the toilet was a really bad idea.

When I was a kid we moved into my new house and my dad was all proud to tell us our toilets are top of the line they can flush *24 golf balls*… but why dad, why.

Dude one of my favorite shows hands down

Can confirm. Not your client, but my son drops some of the biggest bombs I’ve seen and it handles it.

What do you feed the beast?

I'm in awe the number of colored toilets I've seen. Black is ok, in certain instances but... Why? It's a toilet not a fashion statement.
Pink and teal are really popular in 50s and 60s themed houses
My mum still has the teal set and she's recently acquired the pink taps to go on the teal sink. It works
I like the look, never really liked the pink though
I believe you. But I find it strange
I don't know any plumber who would install a toilet for $200 - let alone supply and install one.
Yeah. After install it was close to $700 but the toilet was less than $200.
Oh misread that
This sub recommended this toilet. It is awesome.

I got that toilet. It has a soft close lid and hasn't clogged yet
Most I’ve ever eaten is 6.
Picture shows six… so your good to go.
If the 8 ball goes down first, do they lose?
Because America will use anything for measurement provided it's not the metric system.
My guess is this is manufactured by American Standard.
Looks like they upped their game and decided 27 golf balls wasn't enough 🤣
Glacier Bay
Glacier Bay.
Can confirm: my late father in law was the director and engineer at American Standard that started the whole "billiard ball flushing" campaigns. Miss you, Mike!
Did he die from all the billiard balls he had to pass for those final quality checks?
Nah, it was when we were at a bar and one fell out of his pant leg. The thugs we were playing thought he was sharking them. Guess he forgot one
I think that would be a fun job.
He loved it! He was an engineer at heart with a flair for telling stories, which go hand in hand in that job
for when you are shitting bricks
Or shitting pool balls
Because I'm a 15 foot long 700lb hamster who shits out billiard ball sized spherical turds
Perfect for a reeeal American sized shit. Just the way Uncle Sam always dreamed of.

You’ve never worked in a bar with pool tables.
I have an issue with this. I only see 6 billiard balls. I need to see this put into action.
r/unexpectedarcher
Crap, i have eight billiard balls i need to flush asap :(
Still can’t handle “flushable” wipes tho.
Because there are plenty of people out there who refuse to admit they have a problem, much less see a Gastroenterologist.
Does it work with cube shaped wombat poop though? That’s the real question.
Have you not seen the show archer? try beating pam's record then ask if those toilets are necessary.
Because the day after Thanksgiving toilet clog is definitely a thing.
OP obviously never done night call in Las Vegas before.
Advertisement had how many ping pong balls in one flush. Nephew wanted to know how many baseballs
Let's see if I can take a couple decks of cards, straight flush!
https://twitter.com/MeowjinBoo/status/1526232665933852672 I literally saw this outside my wholesalers dumpster and posted the same thing.
I see 6…
Y nut? Get ur hand in easier, to pull log.
How many kilos of cocaine can it flush down the toilet at once though, asking for a friend
It's because of the implication.
Because job security is # 1 priority.
Kids.
I bet they’re so confident no one will try ... it probably doesn’t even flush 1 lol.

Listen, Tuesday nights sometimes get wild
Look these are all great points everyone is making but my problem is this: why tf didn’t they use 7 and 15?!?
THERE ARE SEVEN BALLS
Because if it can swallow a bowling ball then your mother in law can come over for taco Tuesday.
Just in case you need to get rid of something super fast.
So we have to go on more service calls make more money
So the customer knows what to put down the toilet in the event of a clog
I'll take that challenge
Americans will use any thing as a measurement system other than the metric system
Conspiracy to put plumbers out of Business
Don’t forget the 7 ball.
So we can get more business
Can confirm this toilet is Grrreat! Cheap yet effective, also cleans bowl well. Only regret was not getting one for other bathroom
Finally, been meaning to get rid of those.
When I was a kid we moved into my new house and my dad was all proud to tell us our toilets are top of the line they can flush *24 golf balls*… but why dad, why.
