Abstract
A method of and apparatus for reducing the risk of clogging and water overflow from water-based flushing-type toilet systems installed in residential and commercial environments, to help society by alleviating the creation of unsanitary conditions created by clogged, overflowing toilets, and reducing costly homeowner insurance claims for damage caused by water leaking into finished ceilings. The apparatus is realized in the form of a hand-operated device having a hand-held handle portion and a disposable water-dissolvable cutting tip tool component that is automatically ejected into a water flushing toilet bowl upon depressing a quick release button, after a single use during stool cutting operations, so that the used cutting tool component can rapidly dissolve in water in the toilet bowl with processed stool before water flushing operations are initiated.
