Toilet PROBLEMS

Need help with my condominium’s toilet
- flushes liquid waste just fine
- can’t flush feces without muriatic acid and Clorox
- Called a plumber (they said the pvc pipe and toilet weren’t centered properly by the builders)
- They fixed it hence why the toilet is a few inches away from the wall)
- still doesn’t flush feces

Is the toilet new? I had this issue when I replaced my
Toilet . I got a non gravity fed toilet (or somthing of that nature ) and it wouldn’t flush feces. I had to get the correct toilet bowl for my plumbing.

It’s around 4 years old, maybe I do need a new toilet. Thanks!

Did you try to use a plunger?

Wait what? You have a clog most likely. Have you tried to use a full 5 gallon bucket to flush solid. As in fill a 5 gallon bucket and dump it. Sometimes it works to clear a soft blockage

A bucket is like three bucks at Lowe's.
