so I was hoping someone could help me. On the outside of my toilet when the S pipe goes to the floor. On the end of the S pipe is like a ring and it's somehow full of pee, I've tried to flush it out with like vinegar etc, but now it's full of vinegar and not pee. Would any one have any ideas how to clean it out and prevent it from happening again ?
Thank u

gravity.

Fill it with poo , then. Trowel it off on a 10 degree angle towards the outside of the pipe .... Problem solved !

Had a similar issue when I was in Darwin, the inbuilt S bent (porcelain) from the pan was leaking. The sewer pipe was a bit slow and it was full of water to the top of the drain? i believe..... there is a rubber seal that can be replaced but you need to run some soda ash in the pan (lot of it) to dissolve whatever is trapped below, my plumber mate told me that very often is fat as peep tend to discard old used oil in the pan?

Sounds like you need a new pan collar seal

Hot chips will get rid of the vinegar.

Bit random.....first post on seabreeze and asking about toilet matters.

It is a free country, but is seabreeze now the place to get support on any random question by any person who may or may not be involved in watersports.

Maybe word has got out regarding the expertise of the brains trust on here?

It could be a piss take.

You can fanny around for ages
mondello rococo back to wall toilet $200 from Bunnings, slap a new one in, it's cost effective, check pipe offset distances from wall

'slap a new one in'... offsets? I guess some of the new ones have adjustable traps, but if its an old house they will be very different and drive you crazy.

I have a theory that a lot of these close coupled toilets have been designed to prevent the toilet seat staying up. Designed by a woman for sure!

I would argue though that if you have some fluid visible on the collar seal then you have a problem that a close coupled unit is just going to hide.
