Getting sick and tired of my water-saving toilet

[5thranger]

Mine has two nozzles, regular with a butt icon, and female with some sort of female icon. I don't know what the difference is other than the amount of pressure and slightly different angle.

Seriously, that other icon is very misleading!

Did it look something like this?

That looks a little inflamed to me, maybe some cold water will help...

Not even close.

What good is a water-saving (1.2GPF) toilet if you have to do follow-up flushes? Someone on here mentioned special ordering a sort of mega flush toilet to fix such an issue, but I can't find the post.
I have tried numerous things to avoid a second flush, clean the holes in the top of the inside of the bowl, adjust the float to allow maximum water fill, even holding down the flush lever to allow the tank to completely empty. If I dump a bucket of water directly down the toilet, it flows through just fine.
Any suggestions before I replace it with the most water-wasting toilet I can find? I have a slightly older toilet in out spare bathroom that flushes like a boss.

Try adjusting the float so that supply water fills the tank to near the top of the overflow tube. If the float shuts off the water valve too soon the tank won't fill all the way.

Talk about late to the game. I already posted how I fixed it, I cleaned the siphon jets.

If you're interested, check out this guy's low-flow comparison. He follows a standard low-flow toilet test by flushing a hand full of sausages and wads of toilet paper down the commode. Start the video at 24:00 to see the 'action'.

About time someone posted something worthwhile on here , but what a waste of good sausages.

Have Kohler low flow, but the damn thing plugged up when doing a cologuard test, forcing me to buy an upscale ($20) plunger to resolve the matter.
