Last year I installed a toilet for a friend of mine and haven't had any success with it. Basically all we did was move the toilet 4 feet further from where it originally was, this did however add a four foot section of 3
1/2 pipe that did not have a major slope. Now the problem seems to be a slow flush and plugging. I can't get any more slope out of this no matter what I do, since the septic tank is about 40 feet away and is only about 2 feet lower then the bottom of the toilet. I'm starting to wonder if a higher flush toilet will help? I've also gone to great lengths to add an extra vent pipe so that the pipe can breath, any chance that I shouldn't have added the vent pipe? Would that create more pressure from the toilet or just slow things down even more?- posted
