Seems to be some trouble with the flush.

Toilets are new, stuff not always going down.

There's a clean out the house.

Would it be a good idea to unscrew and run a hose at full blast down
the sewer line?

Would that help the passing of waste to the street sewer line?

Don't see how it would hurt, and might even help. One thing to note is
that if you have a root clog downstream, the pipe will fill up with
water pretty quickly and belch back some nasty stuff at you. Be
prepared to yank the hose out quickly, just in case. If the water
flows freely with the faucet full on, then your problem is back in the
house, possibly a clogged vent or similar. HTH

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

I do use toilet paper. It would be good if I could find out what
brands these are. (Don't use wet wipes, and I hope your neighbors
will stop now. I would go to everyone in your line and ask. And not
rely on a memo from the association or management company.)
