It’s not the type/brand of toilet paper used.
I’ve used same basic relatively cheap toilet paper for years, not necessarily the cheapest of the cheap but not the quilted or more expensive either; and on an occasion when I bought Asda own brand recycled paper, same thing happened.
I want my toilet to flush and clear the contents of the pan without the need to stir the paper with a stick or faff around with a loo brush, which I don’t have, it’s bad enough that I’m having to pour a bucket of water down the pan to clear the paper.
The paper may break down once past the U bend and when swirling through the sewer system but it isn’t when sitting in water in the pan.
Also, it’s not one sheet, squeaky clean paper floating in the pan, its paper that’s clearly been used and of an amount that would flush away with ease before the new syphon was fitted.
Once I get home, I will try holding the handle down for a long flush, as I don’t think I do that or even tried it and none of the plumbers have ever mentioned it: if that makes no difference, then I’ll post photos of the Syphon.
Thanks for all the replies, opinions and theories so far.
