Previously I posted "BTW, I did not go wax, I went with this https://aqualoq.net/en/index.php . Anyone familiar with it?"
Anyone familiar with this, or any other wax seal substitute, and have feedback?

The sharpest bend and the narrowest portion of the entire run is made of porcelain and its right under your ****.It’s almost always there.I am not sure what section plumbing related questions go, if here is incorrect, I am sure a mod will move it to the correct spot.
So, a relatively simple question. A toilet blockage can be anywhere but usually, is the blockage in the toilet itself, or beyond the flange, somewhere down line?
If anyone has stats or percentages, eg...90% of the time it is the toilet, or only 10-15% of the time it is the toilet, it would be appreciated

If you need to hold the buttons down for a few seconds to get a complete flush, the valve may not be working correctly.
A toilet valve is designed to flap completely open, and then stay vertical long enough for the tank to clear nearly all the water (get a good complete flush), and then slow hinge down and close off the opening. If the lever is misadjusted it won't go completely vertical, and if the valve is failing it may close too quickly or maybe not seal after it's closed.

Usually the push rods on dual flush need adjustments if the toilet is not flushing well.If you need to hold the buttons down for a few seconds to get a complete flush, the valve may not be working correctly.

Is what you are saying for a traditional toilet or is this the same for a 2 button low flush?If you need to hold the buttons down for a few seconds to get a complete flush, the valve may not be working correctly.

I think mine works fine. I hold it just barely a second. As explained before, traditional toilets, once you hit the flush lever, generally the ball **** valve stays up for a couple of seconds. Holding the lever or not, does not really change much.
On this low flush I have it is more like, you press and it flushes, the second you remove your finger from the button, it stops instantly. So I hold it just a fraction of a second more than a regular toilet, and it works great.
Right now it works fine, If I fiddle with it trying to adjust something, I could easily F-up something, and I have too many other things to do.
Definitely, some day in the future, it will need fixing or tuning and then I will be back on here asking how these toilets work.
