[Ways to find the best Plumber]

Welcome to the forum.

 

Not clear from the reply what problem exists, as it appears that the toilet always flushes, or does "rises a little, and leaves" mean w/o flushing the bowl?

 

If the drain is proper and unobstructed, as indicated by the bucket dump into the bowl test, then everything is pointing to the toilet. Even the manual flapper pull test is pointing to a poor toilet.

 

Has the toilet always been problematic or is this new?

 

All that being said, yes a different toilet will have different flush characteristic. All the new toilets save water. Many have dual mode flushes, for solid or liquid removal. The wife prefers the tall toilets.

My toilet is rather old. Probably I should just replace it with a new one, it would be much easier..

Hi, everybody. Glad, that I found a right thread. Hope, you can help me.

The last couple of days, when I press the flush button in the toilet, all the water swirls around the bowl, rises a little, and leaves. Of course, at first, I worked with a plunger, then I just took everything apart. There are no things inside the toilet that would interfere with the passage of water, the corrugation is all clean and goes to the riser pipe. That is, there is definitely no blockage in my apartment. I even bought a plumbing cable and checked it in case. Everything is clear.

I took a 6-liter bucket. I took some water into it and poured it into the toilet - the water leaves, it doesn't even rise. That is, wash it off with a bucket - everything is fine.

What can be wrong? I still had the idea to replace the entire mechanism, which is carried out by flushing, but my friends are convincing that this is not the case. I even tried to fill the whole tank and not press the flush button, but pull out the whole mechanism abruptly in order to let the water flow, but there is no difference, it starts to spin.

Is it a reason to buy a new toilet? I have been already reading some reviews.
