Replace the guts of your toilet with vintage parts. Get the nicest ballcock money can buy.

Consider replacing your waste pipes with copper, or my personal favorite, glass.

Any gold or copper fixtures you can put in, do it.

Colored lights in the shower, with a steamer.

That's all I got for now.

Unbolt water line at meter.

PEX!

>>1428853
Put the water tank off your shitter in the attic.

>>1428988
Genius!
More head pressure.
That'll flush away anything, especially with your enlarged girth'd pipes.

>>1428853
Install cockcage on your frontal plumbing

You need a bowl that is designed for a high pressure flush to do this other wise half the water in the bowl along with what ever happens to be in that water ends up on the floor and splashed all over the walls. Modern toilets are designed to flush with a very specific pressure and volume, they make a mess if that increases much.

>>1428853
Can I snake you drain? If you know what I mean. ;)

>>1429013
What about pneumatic toilets? Same bowl size

open drain plug
insert penis

OP here. I had a small (3"x12") female to female pipe that I replaced with glass in the unfinished basement portion of the house I rent. (It is properly sealed with o-rings as well as teflon on the threads)

Apparently it developed a small crack, though it's not leaking. I rent the house from a guy who stays in the downstairs bedroom when he is home from travelling. He called me as I was leaving work today to bitch aboot the glass. He also can apparently see excrement in the pipe but it is NOT leaking.

I still have not gone home yet. What do?

I also am not supposed to have a key to the lower portion of the house and picked the lock.

>>1428994
Lol. Not much point in going over 3 or 4 inches since the shitter hole is that size.

On the same not tho i have been searching for one of those big horseshoe shape lided powered flush ones. I think Walmart has them in the bathrooms. The ones that sound like a fucking typhoon and jet water into the drain. I have well water so idgaf.

Wtf are those called? Having hell finding 1

>>1429013
Shit.

May as well add computer controlled flapper then. Programable to the ounce of water flushed.

>>1429019
Pneumatic.

Fml. Thanks.

Anon WTF... glass???? In a rental???

>>1428987
That's the point of a water manifold in a residential house? Is it just because plumbers felt second tier to electricians and wanted a breaker box to call their own?

>>1428853
Licensed plumber here, remove the restrictor in the shower head and vacuum breaker in the kitchen faucet if it has a pull out spray head. Much more gpm.

>>1428853
Tear everything out.
Dig a moat around your house.
Build an overhang, out your largest window and extending over the moat, with a bench seat that has three holes for toilet seats.

>>1429446
A blowout type toilet.

As oppose to a siphon jet.

Typically wall hung, so You would need to rip the wall out and install a carrier.

Used for commercial/public applications.

The split toilet seat is for sanitary reasons. basically if you have a cheesy sausage, it's not going to touch the seat, and potentially cheese up someone else's.

anon...leave that plumbing alone..it did nothing to warrant your wrath, go outside and play...

>>1428987

Is there anything I can do to make my champion 4 flush harder, other than moving the tank upward?

Trying to flush potatoes.

>>1431230
Hold the handle down. They only flush 1/2 a tank o water. Get a caroma Sydney. It will flush a potato. It has a 4” outlet.
R4000 is clear plumbing pipe. Wanna see your poo down the pipes???

>>1428853
R4000 is clear see through plumbing pipe. Wanna see your poo going down the pipes?

Under my house looks like pic related and i am mutherfucking tired of it.

>hose to water chickens blows
>bathroom sink hot water line starts leaking
>etc.

I am an hour away from a hardware store. It's not fun to work 10 hours, drive 2, fight traffic and bullshit, come home and work on shit.

Sink leaks. Walk into closet. Turn off the line. Continue shitposting. Fuckit. Now i can fix it on saturdsy instead of having to use someone elses shower and bailing water to take a shit.

I'm buying a house with a well. Tired of shitty water pressure. Ive read that its bad to go over 80psi.

Any way to get a steady 70psi? Is it as simple as just buying a bigger pump or do i need some sort of booster.

>>1431773
No wtf and why...

>>1431862
lol wtf is going on
I'm inclined to believe that blue stuff they used is pipe "sealant" at this point.

>>1431878
It’s called rain r shine. Terrible Pvc glue.

>>1428997
Sloan flushmate. Big recall. Lots of stitches

>>1430215
Should already have a reserve tank/booster. You want gpm not Pressure. Replace old Steel pipe
with pex. Smoke a beer

>>1432004

>>1431866
You need a storage tank, a bladder ballast, a pump, and a regulator. The house probably has most of those already. Maybe the ballast needs replacing

>>1432302
Not sure. I'm told the well does just fine. No idea why but shitty water pressure teiggers me to no end. If i can't take a shower and feels like hot needles stabbing me in the back then i'm not happy

>>1429437
YO wtf

Is this thread a shitpost that everyone is following along with, I refuse to believe this is a thing.
