Smart toilets embody the updated modern sanitary ware, providing automatic flushing, cleaning, and heated capabilities, and create a hygiene habit that is far more comfortable and convenient. But what happens if your smart toilet becomes clogged
- Toilet Plunger
A toilet plunger is a unique tool used to declog toilets. To use a toilet plunger, insert one end into the toilet drain, then compress and/or pull the handle to create pressure. This is applicable to fairly light clogs on smart toilets, and provides a quick remedy to unclogging.
- Pour Hot Water
If the toilet plunger did not do the trick, you may try to pour hot water to assist with getting the clog to drain through. Pour hot water safely and quickly into the toilet; since hot water expands and can create pressure to push the clog through the drain pipe. Be cautious to avoid burns and when using hot water. - Use a Pressure Pump or High-Pressure Gas Unclogging Tool
If pouring hot water did not work for you, consider using a pressure pump or high-pressure gas unclogging tool. This tool helps to push and/or shock the clog away from the toilet by increasing the pressure of the system so that things may drain accordingly. To use the tool, attach the appropriate tool to the drain pipe to create pressure. - Using a Chemical Drain Cleaner
Chemical drain cleaners are usually for tougher clogs stemming from solid or organic materials. Once you pour in an appropriate amount of chemical drain cleaner into your toilet, you will have to leave it long enough for the chemical to dissolve, or eat away the clog and allow for smoother drainage.
- Removing the Drain Pipes
If none of the above suggestions work, you may have to remove the drain pipes for cleaning. This is a specialized procedure and requires experience with the appropriate tools. I suggest avoiding DIY removal unless you have similar experience.
If you get stuck dealing with a smart toilet clog, and cannot find a resolution for it, I would recommend contacting smart toilet repair personnel to‘get to the bottom of the issue. They have the relevant experience and tools to make an accurate determination of the issue and will provide you with the necessary options for a solution
