Getting sick and tired of my water-saving toilet

If you really believe in your work, the Taco Bell ? volume test would be next(pretty much anything off the menu, eat it first or place directly in toilet...)

I wouldn't do that in my toilet after eating there.

I think I fixed it!
After watching several YouTube videos, all suggesting the basic things, water level, proper flush valve adjustment etc., I finally watched a video that mentioned the siphon jet, and how to clean.
The siphon jet is that hole at the very bottom that points rearward. I immediately felt some build up at the very edge of the hole, then I ran a now dedicated siphon jet brush (formerly a water bottle straw cleaning brush) up into it and got some more build up out. It hasn't flushed this good in quite a while.
I also learned some ways to help keep those jets clean, vinegar, CLR etc.
Keep your siphon jets clean, y'all!

That procedure sounds like a colonoscopy prep.....?

Glad you got it fixed!

Thanks for the laughs. Reminds me of this story.

Why is almost anything poop related so funny. I swear, when I grow up, no more potty humor! =D

Good to know your solution of that jet port thing.

I have a cheap "Project Works" sLowes toilet and a $350 dollar one - the cheap sLowes one clears logs better (and I come from quite the line of Quebec Lumberjacks!). =p

lol, old pic of one of my "dump" runs

Is that toilet for a dump run or is it in case you get the runs at the dump ?

It seriously flushes so much better!
I think you were the one I thought that had recently upgraded to a better toilet. And I was seriously looking into better, higher flow options. Even springing for a plumber. But the john in our spare restroom flushes beautifully and is almost exactly the same.
It makes me wonder if there was crap in the siphon jet from when it was new.
Either way, I now know how to keep my johns flowing better.

Glad I'm not one of your Johns with you sticking brushing up the holes in yours to make it work better.

well thanks to this thread I have found my dream toilet that I didn't know existed untill now , that "launch" handle (think "torpedo" not "rocket") is just, I mean , why am I just now seeing this ?

Edit, nevermind , that's a pump handle that you pump NOT a torpedo launch handle and I got excited for nothing...
I was looking at specs to see maximum water pressure allowed and everything...

Why am I still looking at this thread ….
