The instructions say to not use the toilet for 6 hours after pouring in liquid and flushing once. Can the other toilets in the house be used while this one is being treated?

Yes they can...but I always do this right before going to bed then it has the whole night to work. Is a great product and so cost effect NO repairs in 8 years, hope this helps

I have always presumed that this instruction is to allow the enzymes to work in the pipes connecting the toilet to the drains and not a ban on all toilets within the house. Normally I just add it before bed, so it's not an issue.

I have never used this product in the toilet, as I haven't needed to. But, I would thinkthat it would be ok to use another toilet, the pipes are separate from one another, II believe. I hope this helps.

Hi Julie. If you hold the handle for approximately 2 seconds it will flush solid waste. It is not like older toilets where you are holding the handle for 5 seconds or longer hoping and waiting for the waste to circle the toilet bowl. I wrote my review about 2 years ago and I have had no issues with these Toto toilets.

use on the toilet that's slow or backed up it goes to the main line to clear the pipe line. The catch is that you must use it every 3 months especially in the winter or rainy months when roots are growing. A plumber used this to clear the line the first time my line got clog and he charged $75 due to the company he worked for. But I am finding it at Home Depot for $16.95 and I live with it and recommend it. I forgot to use it for 6 months and the roots came back but with a repeated use of every 3 weeks my lines are clear again....so get it and stay with it on a regular bases or routine of every 3 months to avoid having a huge plumbing bill. use on the toilet that's slow or backed up it goes to the main line to clear the pipe line.

No, it stays around for a bit, there was a pile at the bottom of my toilet for a few days after using it.

Yes you can boil for 30min before first time use. I use Arm and Hammer sensitive. I first used the cloth diaper friendly stuff and it didn't work well and was expensive! Just use regular laundry soap. It's cheaper and cleans the poop and pee out better than the other stuff.

If you are using the toilet as often as that then you will probably need to empty the urine container once or twice per week not because of smell but because it will be full. Obviously this depends on how many people are using it! 4 people for a weekend can get it pretty full.

The couple times we used it we put a put a toilet liner on there and used sanitation wipes to wipe it down after every use. It didn't last more than a week though so we never got to extensive cleaning.

possible that someone tried to flush something other than human waste down toilet, creating a blockage, you will have to disassemble toilet and flush line. upon disassembly check flapper valves, make sure they open and close easily, if not replace. also, lubricate pump rod when in full vertical position, that may help

The whole section does come out. Occasionally I make a mess while dumping into the toilet but only on the potty itself. I've never made any messes on the toilet or around the toilet due to the design.

I usually fill the flush tank , [the upper one with the smaller lid] almost full. You could put a little in the holding tank tp activate the deoderizer. A must for more than a days hold. We've used it for four days as a chamber pot for two people with no problem. Still had room.

answered previously but left this out: The water connecting line IS NOT included. If you cannot use the old one, pick up a new one for the new toilet. And the toilet flushes great once I put it in!!

We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure. However I didn't flush them that often. I kept a tight small trash can with lid and would put them in there and empty often. And occasionally would flush a poopy one if I was upstairs away from that trash can. I maybe flushed maybe 3-5 a week and never noticed any clogging or septic problems. Hope that helps a little! Heard some people flush these with no problems. I didn't feel comfortable with that but in the end made the decision to put them in the trash because my toilets far away from my changing table :p We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure.

I just use regular toilet paper which disolves adequately to prevent clogging. I make sure to add 2 cups of water plus 2 oz. of conditioning chemical after dumping and cleaning to prep for reuse. I don't flush paper that is used only for urine. I have never experienced any problems.

I had this same problem in a apartment for 2 years after moving in!! You can try this BKF, but also what worked for me was Lysol/Clorox (can't remember which one) toilet bowl cleaner - but get the one that looks strongest (I picked one with bleach). Pour it on...but let it sit for 20-25 min instead of brushing off right away. After that, come back, brush some off & do a second coat. There's still a little grossness, but for the most part, that took care of it.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

I wash these with my cloth wipes in a mesh bag if they were only peed on (I flush the poop). I let them air dry and I get like 3 uses out of them. Food for thought though: If I can wash these in my washing machine several times and reuse them what are people talking about when they say to let it sit in their toilet bowl for a little bit to let them "break down"? I have a septic system and I was flushing these (for the last year and a half) without thinking about how that might not be a good idea- we're in need of septic work now and I don't know if it is related at all.

The "flusher" is actually like a pump sprayer. When you pull up the handle, it draws up water from the water tank and "flushes" the toilet. We have it at our mountain cabin and we have used it every time since we bought it last year. We love it and it is well worth the money we spent. The only negative we can think of would be that the Plunger or handle that is used to flush is not real sturdy so you should flush carefully, but it has a huge storage tank that could last as long as 2 weeks, of course depending how often it is used. Feel free to ask any other questions, but for us, we love it. The "flusher" is actually like a pump sprayer.
