This looks like a mix between an Eljer Sylenta and a Rheem.

that's a massive trapway opening basically looks like that of a washdown

Yeah, I was a little disappointed by the performance

I've never seen anything like this before. Although it's interesting as well as unique, you proved that it could be a problem in real use due to that very narrow trapway.

Yeah, I doubt it would be very good in a normal setting but it's as unique as it gets.

That toilet is quite similar to the one my late father had in his bathroom before he replaced it with a modern toilet. His was leaning to the side.😂

Why don’t you ever use a plunger if it gets clogged, I’m sure you don’t use a plunger if you use the bathroom in your house or somewhere else.

I never used a plunger because I can't plunge a toilet one handed. Now that I have a better setup, I probably will.

Possibly a Eljer that's not branded? I think its an eljer because of that jet

The trapway opening is huge, but inside it must be restrictive. The toilet is rare and unique but I'd say it's just a decent performer.

Far better than a kohler wellworth lite plus the trapway can't even fit a golf ball which means why it's one of kohlers biggest failure of toilets ever!

This toilet is really awesome but the performance could use a little work. The dirt test honestly surprised me though too. I think this would do great on normal use. Also, is that chip near the top of the trapway some sort of jet?

This has a very interesting flush, a little weak for how big the trapway opening is in my opinion. Question, would it be possible to fix the cracks in the bowl? Or is it not bad enough and best just to leave it alone?

For me: They are nothing but a useless piece of crap you can fall in there and get trapped and you might not survive. You can also drop your phone in there and there are nasty as hell Overall: pit toilets can smash themselves

I think they're gross but they definitely have their place. For example, I hiked on part of the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon and it was really handy to have a pit toilet there instead of just doing it on the side of the trail. They are good for remote areas like that but real toilets are always better when possible.
