DIY, EASY FIX !!! My toilet was not blocked up and wouldn't flush at all. (note: I tried drain o , vinegar and dish soap but that did not work). I also tried cleaning each jet hole out with a wire brush and that did not work either.Turns out the siphon jets were really clogged up. That's what was causing my toilet not to flush or usually causing a very slow flush. The easy way to fix it yourself with out calling a plumber and spending a lot of money is real simple. Just follow my instructions:.
All you need is: seran wrap,muriotic acid,a small baggie with a rubber band and a small funnel.The muriotic acid cleans out all the jets and makes the toilet like new again.
comment below and let me know if it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
Worked! You just saved me from going bankrupt and a divorce
😂😂😂
Dats fucced up😭
Hahahahah
Dang 😂
Lmfao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣
I appreciate anyone making videos to try and help other people
IT WORKED! I cant remeber the last time my toilet had this much pressure. Look at me, geeking over my toilet. Im such an adult.
lol i feel ya
UNBELIEVABLE!!! After an hour soak I cannot believe the CRUD that came out of that bowl!!!! After 3 years of non flushing the normal way and now it’s like a brand new toilet!!! So glad I found this clip!! HUGE THANK YOU!!!
This is by far the best video out there demonstrating how to safely use muriatic acid to clean up the clogged rim holes. Thank you!
Thanks, Frank! This was the last of the tweaks "we" had to do to our toilet after a few trips to Home Depot for other issues. Happy to say that our toilet is finally running well! Hallelujah!
Bro seriously I've been dealing with this problem for months. Holding my flush down to just get toilet paper to go down and forget taking a dump it didn't happen!! I was on my way to Lowe's for something else and decided to see if anything would help and your video popped up when I typed in my issue and brother it freaking worked beautifully!! I was thinking I was about to buy a new throne now it's like new for real!! And I did it to the rest of my toilets!! Thanks BIG 👍 up!!!🤙🤙
FRANK! I was seriously stressed out today. I only have 1 bathroom and expecting guests to watch the game and was so worried that I was going to need to cancel. I followed you instructions and fixed the toilet all by myself and felt like a badass! You saved my get-together and you saved my wallet. We lost the game but I was happy anyway because of you. This little black lady in Alabama thanks you soooo much.
Thank you for the feedback. Sorry you lost the game but here's a big ROLL TIDE for you!!!
Frank Sweet where can I buy this acid at ?
@@DMONEY6191904 Obviously not much of a hustler if you need to ask. Try ANY hardware store, genius.
@@DMONEY6191904 Home Depot,Lowe's, or any Pool Suppy Place.
Great Video. 50 year old toilet. The build up in the main jet hole was so hard it felt like rock. I let it set for 1 1/2 hours . Wide open now and smooth as glass. Thanks for making it look simple. A+‼️
Out of all the 12 videos I've watched, yours video is the only one that worked! Thank you so much!
This absolutely works!! After 2 years of water not going down, trying every method in the book, this worked. I went to Menards and paid $3.99 for a gallon of Muriatic acid. I did this method, left the bathroom for an hour, and came back to some really black water in the toilet and a gas smell. I was a little worried, but I took the plastic off and flush! It all went down!! I am so excited. Thanks for this video.
It's been over a month since I used this FIX. The rejuvenated toilet still flushes as good as new and stays much cleaner because years of calcium buildup were eliminated by the muriatic acid . This approach worked perfectly and saved me a lot of time and expense. This is my second "Thank you" Frank . great work
Confirmed: WORKS! Mine was severely clogged and only took about a cup and a half of muriatic acid (all I had left over from a concrete painting job). Then I broke off the head of a toothbrush to clean out the jet after flushing 10 or so times first. works like new! Thanks Man!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My husband followed your directions and it worked completely. We saved a LOT of money because we had a call in to the plumber and we were able to cancel it.
I have been fighting with this for months, until I found this video. I thought this was sort of nuts, but I tried it, and to my utter amazement, it actually worked! Thank you so much for posting this.
This deserves a comment because I followed the directions given perfectly, and you have no idea how incredibly well this method works. My toilet was not flushing well at all, so first I did the water bucket test. You take a bucket of water and pour it into the toilet and see if it goes through. If it does, then your toilet drainage is fine and it means your jet holes are caked with hard water build up. I tried vinegar, stuff from home depot (multiple different products) and none worked. Eventually, I stumbled on this video and I went and bought the acid and did it. It works incredibly well. Take all the safety precautions before doing this, such as wearing proper gloves, a mask, and using safety goggles. Other than that, always have baking soda near by. A little bit of research will show that baking soda "neutralizes" the acid so if you spill some by accident, just throw the baking soda on it. It will fizz and then stop and you're good to go. After you pour the acid into the overflow pipe, and you let it sit for 1 to 2 hours, and you're scared that it might ruin your piping, just add baking soda into the toilet bowl before you flush. You can also mix the baking soda with water and slowly put it into the toilet bowl, and as mentioned before, it will fizz and stop. Then you can flush it a few times and you're good to go. In reality, the acid does get diluted by the water so it wouldn't hurt your pipes, but since everyone has baking soda at home, it's an easy precaution to take. Many thanks for this tip. It works superbly!
I poured some water in it still went down slowly, does that mean I have a big clogg
Most likely, if you did the bucket test and it didn't go down, then you have another problem, not a hard water build up problem. Most likely a clog down somewhere.
do you know if this will work well for a septic system as well?
I am not sure because I've never had an issue with a septic system.However, If it's a flushing issue, and not a clogged pipe, this should work fine.
Had the same problem for months. Thought I would have to get a new toilet. I tried this technique. My toilet is now flushing normal. Thanks so much for sharing,
Ok I just followed your procedure exactly the way you did it. I let the muriatic acid sit for 60 minutes. All of debris had settled into the bottom of the toilet. I flushed it and it worked perfectly. I'm going to do the other toilets in the house as well to keep them clean and working perfectly. Thanks again great job
My sister's toilet was doing the exact same thing and she was about to buy a new one. I used this method and it's flushing like a champ now. Me and my brother-in-law looked like Breaking Bad handling the acid. Gloves, masks and goggles. Thanks!
Awesome Phil, Thanks for the feedback
I followed your instructions to the letter and it worked like a charm! Thank you!
I loooove this!!! I have been dealing with flushing problems for years & this actually fixed it!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! Our toilet hasn't flushed well for years and this fix really worked. I was ready to replace it till I tried this.
You just saved me a good hour of labor replacing a toilet in one of my vacant units. Thank you!!
Thanks for thinking of others by making this!!
Having the same problem, I'd been searching for a solution and found it. It works! Muriatic acid not only fixed the problem but also got rid of the toilet stains. Thank for sharing the helpful tip.
Worked like a charm! That acid sure does smell, for sure need a mask and a funnel. 75% better! Saved me plumber cost!
This method absolutely works. Thank you for posting it.
This works phenomenal! I have muratic acid it's about 15 years old. Never used it until now. Thank you for your knowledge
Fuck yeah! 5 years later & your still helping folks! Appreciate it mane!
My toilet has not flushed proper in 2 years. I have snaked the mainline.and ran water through the roof vent. Nothing worked . I used your method and it flushed perfect. The coolest solution to any problem I have ever seen. I was ready to buy a new toilet .Thanks
Excellent Suggestion!!! I've already ruled out all other possibilities!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this idea. I fixed my toilet finally!
Thanks for the tip. I will remember that technique next time I have toilet problems.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! i saw it late last night and tried it with bleach cuz thats all i had on me at the time, but it didnt work too well. so today i went out and bought muriatic acid and IT WORKED!! my landlord has been giving me the run around for a long time saying she'd get someone out here to fix the toilet and they would never come. it would only flush right maybe half the time. my toilet got exceptionally bad in the last week where it wouldnt go down at all, so i tried your method and it worked like a charm! thank you again!!
God bless you and Thank you sooo much for sharing this video. My toilet flushes great now!
Amazing ! We just finally fixed our flushing problem too! Thank you so much for sharing the demo and tip. Love it!
I did this exactly as you showed us Frank, except I let the acid stay in there nearly two hours. I can not believe how well this worked. It has rejuvenated my toilet completely. Even the bottom of the bowl had lime on it and it was all gone when I flushed it. The toilet looks pristine (if one can say that about a toilet). I am flushing it over and over to dilute the acid and will put some Rid-X in the bowl tomorrow. Thanks a lot Frank. Amid some of the more questionable solutions on KZhead yours was a great and relatively cheap fix.
Bro, you just saved the day. I’ve taken my toilet off 5 times trying to find a clog but there just isn’t one. A little muriatic did the trick!! Thank you!!!
Thanks Frank for sharing the information.
Dude, great video, step by step, clear instructions, week done!!! Anyone can follow this!! I was soooo frustrated, i was ready to buy a new toilet. Great job! Thank you!
Anyone knocking this guy is a jerk. Great fix. In 90 minutes, his video saved me at least $300 for a new toilet + labor and parts. Worked exactly as advertised. Thank you, thank you , and thank you.
Thanks Edward I appreciate that!
Damn straight! I tried this today and it saved me a ton of aggravation and money.
Very Cool. Thank you very much. I was getting ready to pull the toilet and perhaps replace it. Just like you said, $10 worth of materials and a little time and my toilet flushes just like it did when it was new. Very cool!
Awesome! Love to hear!!!
Had this problem for months and this worked great. Thank you
Nice instructions. Tried this a few months ago and it solved the problem of the bowl not clearing on the first flush.
I appreciate you sharing!!! This worked for me!
This worked for me, because of buildup it took longer, but worked as you said. THANKS
Did you turn off the water from the beginning. I feel like I missed that part
Thank you dude!!!! Totally worked and I’ve been snaking and clring and all sorts of bs to no avail. Saved me some bucks and injected a bit of pride in fixing my own stuff! Cheers!
That really worked well. Didn't even cause much of a smell. Thank you.
Dude: I was completely skeptical that this would work but I figured "what the heck" I had nothing to lose but a half gallon of my pool muriatic acid. I poured the acid down the fill tube and waited an hour. I skipped the saran wrap and plastic bag part and just turned on the vent and closed the door. Then came the moment of truth. Presto! That toilet was flushing like a champ. It was totally unbelievable. You saved me about $200 and a huge PITA. Now I can hardly wait to take a dump. You are the man!
I’m waiting for two potties to clear. Legs crossed. Coffee too much coffee
AWESOME SOLUTION!!!!! Thanks!!!
Excellent. I also had same problem and by doing this method it got resolved. Thank you so much.
Did this on my own toliet and now it works beautifully...thank you
I tried other methods that did not work. This one worked to perfection. Thanks Frank, saved me the price of a new toilet.
Awesome! Thankjs for the feedback Roman.
My American standard toilet was only four years old. Did the same thing you described so I tried the muradic acid and it worked great Thanks.
This worked awesome, we been putting up with it for almost a year. Followed this to the T, (almost) but it worked!!! Was also about to go buy a new toilet, not anymore!, Thank You
We love you! You saved us from buying a toilet. We did everything !!! Literally. My husband just pulled the damn thing out & replaced the wax seal. Then I looked for you
Thank you I just fixed my parents toilet using this video!! You rock!!
DUDE! You are a lifesaver. I'd like to thank you and your buddy the plumber for this fix. My toilet had this exact issue for months and I had tried just about everything. Followed your instructions, waited an hour and now it's flushing like there's no tomorrow. I'd give you 20 thumbs up on your video if it would let me.
That's Awesome Clay!!! Thanks for the kind words.
I have to admit I was skeptical at first only because nothing ever works for me. But this absolutely 100% worked. Thank you.
I was (very) skeptical but it works! It did solve my slow flushing toilet. I was close to replace it after trying many other things. I followed his instructions verbatim. Note: the muriatic fume is quite intense so be sure to bring fresh air in the room. Thanks!
Thanks for your attention to detail!!!!
Thanks
This surprisingly worked like a charm. Thanks making and sharing the video. 🙌
Thanks Michael!
Thanks so much! I had a plumber tell me to just replace my toilet. I am glad I watched this video first. Saved me $200
It worked! Thank you for helping me solve this problem in our home. It was easy and it did the trick the first time. I have now learned something new. I noticed no smell but I did wear gloves to protect myself. Again, Thanks!
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up on KZhead. I have been using a pitcher for a for time, not wanting to hire a plumber or get a new toilet. This worked like a charm! I am floored by how immediate this fixe was and I've tried everything else. THANKS!
Thank you Dark Hours of Day I'm glad I can help!
Had a new toilet in car ready to install when I thought I should make one more attempt to find a solution. Knew I could manually flush by pouring water into bowl so it had to be a problem with guts of the toilet. Flapper all worked but it was obvious there's wasn't enough push/pull (siphoning) to clear the bowl. This fixed it. Basically a brand new toilet. Thanks so much! Time to return the $200 toilet in the car.
Yes, confirmed my toilet problem solved quite easily! Thanks a lot for sharing the video and the solution to solve the problem. I had the similar problem and was at the verge of replacing the toilet after a plumber came and replaced some parts but to no improvement. Great relief!
Thanks you!! I was going crazy because my toilet wouldn't flush! Big help man!
OMG. You were spot on. My toilet was flushing slowly and I was thinking of replacing it. This procedure worked perfectly and the toilet now flushes like new and fully in 3 seconds. Thank You
Awesome!!!
Your an absolute legend!!!!!! I was about to replace my toilet thays only 6 years old.. Wow thanks
That's Awesome Joshua, Glad I could help.
Wow - just did this and it worked perfectly for me. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you. The diagnosis saved me money! Appreciate it.
Frank, thank you so much, I had snaked my toilet from the main line, cleared the vent stacks, replaced the wax ring and tank to bowl gasket. Even looked at new toilets this morning. I still had the same issue. After watching your video, I got the muratic acid, put in the toilet as described. Let it sit 2 hours just to make sure. And wonders of all wonders, my toilet flushed properly. I flushed it 6 times just to make sure, lol. Again, thank you for the video. I also told my plumber buddy about it, in case he runs into this issue.
Hey Richard I remember a while back when I did the same thing you did. Drove me crazy. I'm glad I could help. Thanks for your comments.
I got creative for a 2nd story bathroom/vent pipe. Pipe snake encountered no resistance so I poured a half gallon of Walmart Great Value Drain Cleaner Maximum Strength dissolves tough clogs fast Professional Strength Gel from the roof down the vent pipe. Instructions say wait 30 minutes and then follow up with hot water to wash it through. I waited almost 2 hours and then went back up there with 2 buckets (3 gallons) of hot water and poured them down. Checked the toilet and there was still no flushing. I figured I'd have to call someone and had been beaten. 3 HOURS LATER, after telling the gf to not use that toilet, she was sitting on the couch and I was in the kitchen when I suddenly heard what sounded like someone flushing the toilet upstairs. It sounded like there was 20 feet of full pipe flushing down. Sure enough the toilet started flushing again. Just to check, I put about 15 gallons of water down that toilet and it went down with no problems at all. Monday I'll be doing the other smaller vent pipe for the toilet directly below this one. The drain cleaner was less than $6.00 a bottle.
This really worked! It was so easy. Thank you for the tip!
Great advice. Worked perfectly!
Saved My Relationship Thanks
Excellent thank you
Fantastic worked like a charm thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU for posting this!!!
Man!!! I did work! I lost hope, but came across your video and it just worked after the first fill! Much appreciate for sharing the idea! Greetings from Canada!
Nobody cares where you come from. We know youtube exists in more than one country. And before you hate for the wrong reasons, I'm canadian to. Still lame.
Why did I not look you up sooner?? I snaked mine, removed the seat and poured drain chemical, nothing! Was about to give up and replace the whole thing. Can't thank you enough!
This worked for me. The acid was $9 from Lowes. 97 cents for a funnel from Walmart. And wrap we already had. Thanks for the quick fix.
Just fixed my fancy 1947 toilet I really didn't want to part with for less than 10 bucks. Thanks !
This is genius!!! We just moved into a rental home that had been sitting vacant for a few months. I didn’t think about the suction being a problem or even calcium being built up over that time until seeing this. The purpose of the wrap and rubber band/bag is to create suction. This creates an outside vacuum to remove any of the (unwanted) air pockets, while simultaneously forcing a cleaning product into the line.
Your friend and you are a genius! Thank you!! 🤗
Preciosa 😍😍😘
Thank you Sandra!!!
It worked. Thank you so much ! You saved me hundreds!
Well, we followed Frank's instructions and it worked ! Toilet is working great...thank you Frank Sweet !
Use hot vinegar, let sit overnight if you have another toilet. The acid works but if your on a septic it's not good for the system or the toilet. Vinegar works well and if you use it once a month on a troublesome toilet the problem should stay under control. Might also consider a softener system if you have hard water that is where you build up comes from
Ty!
Thank you it worked
Dude, You are the man. The acid works way better than any dish soap trick. I might get lucky with my good wife tonight. I am a rock star right now.
OMG!!!! I just did this and it worked. I've been paying plumbers for years to fix this issue with my guest toliet. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you so much for sharing this information.
Worked perfectly!!!! Ty so much
YOU SAVED ME FROM THE ATTACK OF THE CLOGGED TOLLET
Hi. Thanks for posting the video on toilet fix, esp. after advice from a professional plumber. I'm still looking for a fix, but keep posting more good videos. Thx again.
This worked amazing! I only let the acid sit for 30 min and great results too!!! Thanks for the great and helpful video!!!
YES YES YES HAHAHAHA aw man 4th of July today was thinking of getting somebody out here. I have a huge party on Saturday and It’s my main bathroom. Anyways shot over to a pool supply store for the acid and whamo 45 mins later it’s like a brand new toilet Thank you sir.
very nice thanks
Good idea, I’ll try it, thank you for sharing 👍🏼
I'm going to make a "before and after" video of this. I'm really excited!!
