Don’t Throw Money Down Your Low-FlowToilet (NAPSA)—Q. Our home is connected to our town’s municipal sewage system, so you wouldn’t think we’d have any problems. But recently, we had to have a plumber come with a “snake” andall sorts of chemicals to clear out the system. He said the main line was clogged because our new “lowflow,” water-saving toilets don’t flush with enough force to keep the line clear. Is there any way to correct this situation and avoid the expense of repeat plumbervisits? A. Ah, progress. These new, low-flow toilets are great water savers, but they aren’t particularly good at the one thing toilet needs to do best—flush!
