I hear you on the high loop issues, especially in rentals. I’ve got a couple of units myself, and honestly, I went with high loops at first because it...

I’m with you on the flange plunger—those cup ones barely move anything. I’ve debated the enzyme stuff too, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the price ...
