Editorial policy

Flush Frog publishes educational toilet-care and troubleshooting articles so homeowners can diagnose common problems safely before buying parts or calling for service.

How we choose topics

We prioritize problems readers actually search for and that our existing guides do not already cover under the same intent. When two drafts would compete for the same question, we improve the existing URL instead of publishing a duplicate.

How we check claims

Practical steps are checked against manufacturer support documentation (for example Kohler Assist and American Standard FAQs), public utility guidance (for example EPA flushables and septic care, municipal sewer-backup pages), and standard residential plumbing practice. Model-specific adjustment values vary — follow your toilet maker’s instructions when they differ from a general guide.

What we will not claim

• We do not invent plumber reviewers, lab tests, or customer anecdotes.
• We do not present AI-generated photoreal “repair” or “overflow” images as real events.
• We do not claim Flush Frog clears existing clogs, sewer failures, broken flush mechanisms, venting problems, leaking seals, or mineral-blocked rim passages that are already present.
• Diagrams are labeled as educational illustrations, not photographs.

Corrections

If you find a factual error, use the contact form with the article URL and the correction. We update the article body when a fix is confirmed; Shopify then refreshes the page’s modified date.

AI-assisted drafting

Some drafts may be prepared with AI writing assistance. A human on the Flush Frog editorial team reviews structure, safety warnings, source links, and product-boundary claims before publication. AI assistance is not a substitute for manufacturer instructions or a licensed plumber.
