That's gonna result in the same water level and less water when flushing which is the complete opposite of what he's asking.

yup

unless he puts the brick in the bowl itself...but that might make flushing a bit difficult 😛

Exactly, I didnt mean toss one into the tank... then he would end up with less water. Toss it into the bowl.

lmfao

wait, are you serious? 😕

Absolutely.... although I hope you have a maid..... I wouldnt want to be the one to have to clean that brick.

If you make the ballon cap the water flow at a higher point, you should be able let the water flow into your toilet longer which will raise the level. Usually this just involves either screwing the ballon further into the long stem or adjusting a screw that attaches the stem to the pipe in the middle of your toilet

Replace the bowl if you don't like the manufacture water level of the TB water seal. Also, try to find an older toilet that have the bowl that is greater than 1.6 gallons (might be able to adapt an older tank on the newer bowl), because low flush toilets tend to have low amount of water seal in the bowl and it often require doulble flush to compleately clear the chunks.

Inside the tank, there is a tube rising out of the middle. There should be a smaller tube that flows water into that tube while the valve is on. Make sure you have good flow at that time. If that smaller tube is not in place, or clogged, the bowl will not fill all the way.

Hrmm....

There is a flexible short tube that refills the water in the back when it's flushed that normally is aimed into a larger verticle PVC tube (looks like an overflow tube), but when it's flushed, that smaller tube raised b/c of the water pressure and sprays the water into the big tank. Is this supposed to happen? Or should that water go straight into the vertical harder tube?

It needs to go into the vertical tube. Usually there is a clip that attatches it to the tube.

As others have said, you need to adjust the float to a higher level.

Rastus, you're wonderful. That was it. 🙂

There was no clip there to keep the water going into the central PVC. But with a little Gorilla Glue and a paper clip, it works like a charm. 🙂

Thanks for all the help!

:thumbsup: look at your other toilets to see what it should look like.

The float adjust the tank water, and water bowl level depends on the refill tube & the flood rim of the bowl water seal lip.

The OP did mentioned that he tried adding water into the bowl after flushing and that didn't work. It indicated that the manufacture flood rim of the bowl water seal lip is too low for the OP liking.
