Looking for Ultimate Toilet Set Up to Deal With Bowl Busting Poos!

[Blobert]

Hello,

I've had unfortunate issues throughout my adult life and more so since switching to a largely plant based diet of blocking toilets.

Across multiple houses I've run into issues with it so I don't think it's one toilet specific, it's just me. I seem to produce a lot of poo!

While it sounds a funny prediciment, the reality of having to keep sticks or some other devide for breaking up poos and then have the indignity of walking through the house with said "poo sticks" in a bag to dispose of them for years on end is not fun! And I find I'm spending more of my life dealing with my waste than I'd like to.

At the moment we're building a new house and so I want to have a toilet solution that can handle my hefty turds if possible.

Wierdly the rental house we've moved to seems to have great toilets. I'm using a Duravit wall mounted toiled with hidden cistern in the wall and have had zero issues all year. Whatever I've produced, is always flushed in one go. That said a possible other factor is this toilet is on the first floor and the house we're building, and the one we were living in before then are bungalows (I'm not sure if upstairs toiltets are more powerful to drain but I suspect they are)

Anyway what I'd ideally like is a wall mounted toilet with wall inbuilt cistern that will never fail me and get rid of my poos with one flush. That said I'd do anything to avoid future "poo sticks" so open to trying anything!

From reading online it seems a large wall mounted cistern would in theory be best but there are hard to sourse and will look really out of place in a modern house. I'm not sure if you could get an in built one where the cistern was higher up and if this would make much of a difference. I wouldn't care if the flush button was at head height if needs be.

I've seen mention of "pressure assisted toilets" but can't find any of them (I'm in Ireland and was planing to get my equiptment from Germany). I also see mention of wanting toilets with a larger trapway, but I'm not sure if I can find anything suitable, I don't see it mentioned in the specs of the toilets. I supect the Duravit toilet I'm using may be decent in this regard and I think the toilets we had in a previous house were cheap skinny looking wall mounted ones so may have had reduced outlets.

I'm also not opposed to somthing with a larger cistern if it's an option. I see there are some limits on cistern volume but to be honest I often have to wind up doing 3+ flushes with most toilets so it's not going to be wasteful if I can get it done with one bigger flush.

Anyway I'd really appreciate any help. Within reason money is no object here. I just want to be able to poo in peace and without fear of blocked toilets!

Thanks!

Lay off of the fibre.

You'll struggle, I find the wall hung toilets a bit restrictive.

Might want to look at a high level cistern to get up a bit of oomph.

Avoid RAK pans, everything sticks to them

Unfortunately you can't buy siphonic WC's anymore so I would go with Simon's idea of a high level.

There is such a thing as a pressure assisted wc pan - I’ve had nothing to do with them - but it is a thing!

The modern wc's all seem to be smaller diameter outlets than older ones. Before I retired, we had offices in part of a hospital. The toilet blocks were old (perhaps 1950's from the styling?) with normal for the time low level wc's. After the drinking water was condemned (fine for sick kids to have drunk for years, but no good for office workers!) & a new main fitted, a wholesale refurbishment was done including all new toilet facilities. Therefter we had endless trouble with the new wc's blocking almost daily - the traps seem to be smaller in size within the pan. I've noticed this at home too - our upstairs bathroom is newish whilst the downstairs toilet is pre 1970's & is noticebaly larger in the trap.
It seems that Euro bogs don't suit a good old British Standard Turd

Upstairs toilets are not more powerful to drain. The toilet discharges to the soil (waste) pipe which is vented. Since the pipe is vented, there is no suction developed and the height of the WC above the sewer will make no difference whatsoever (unless the bungalow toilet waste branch was partially obstructed, but that's a separate issue).

New house? Compost toilet as a 'secondary' toilet would be one solution, though I've yet to see one I entirely like, much as I approve of the concept, and they don't suit all situations/people.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box the UK population is getting bigger , bigger people produce bigger poos add a plant based diet and you will inevitably go more often , a larger adult needs a larger toilet so look at toilets from the USA . I have found a list of strong flushing toilets below . Regards kop
