(I wrote the tile incorrectly; the water doesn't whirl around, it only bubbles.)
(Also, this is not a low flush toilet but a Kohler 1.6 gallon per flush.)
I'm a plumber's daughter and this one is new to me, as I have prided myself in fixing anything --- before the fall.
We've plunged over and over, and it's been an unused toilet now for a couple months. Company's coming.
The water in the bowl slowly goes down and passes through, but doesn't completely empty the bowl. Then flush and water in the bowl bubbles a bit then fills bowl --- but won't go all the way through.
Have snaked out to kingdom come with the extended snake.
The tank is filling properly. I read somewhere that maybe a grandchild's ball had been flushed down when it behaves like this? Water passing through but no "flush." We're on septic, but the upstairs toilet is working fine, so wouldn't think it's an obstruction in the line.
We'd just go replace it with a Stealth Toilet (have 3 in other homes and very satisfied) but can't find one nearby. (Lowes no longer carrying them.) Any ideas on fixing this one or finding a local Stealth distributor before weekend company arrives. (We shipped Stealths the other times.)
