    Bowl not filling enough

    Thanks for your advice, Terry. After over a month trying to get answers from Toto, who ultimately did send me two new flappers and flush arms (??), I purchased two Korky MaxPerformance fill valves from Lowe's and installed them. Eureka -- they work just fine and the bowls fill properly. One...

    Condensation from the stack

    I agree with Jimbo because something similar happened to me. My flues were very old and had been installed initially with double walls which insulate the flues. Over time, the inner walls of the flues deteriorated an in cold weather, water came down the flues into the furnaces. Also, rusty...

    Bowl not filling enough

    Thanks for your help. I love to save water, but prefer a clean commode first. :)

    Bowl not filling enough

    One of my commodes is on the second floor and the other one is on the third floor. I can imagine that the aggressive out rush of the water on the Toto could siphon water from the bowl as it flushes. Can't do anything about their locations or the outflow lines below. Sounds like the answer is to...

    Bowl not filling enough

    Thanks to both of you. Actually, I have replaced the tube with a long one and discarded the clip in the process. I will go back and shorten the tube and secure it with some sort of clip. Although I did well in my college hydraulics class (Many years ago, 30 years before "1991" :)), I cannot...

    Bowl not filling enough

    Thanks for this suggestion. The refill tube goes into the overflow about 6". But I think I will replace it with a longer one, even though I am not that would matter since it goes in there long enough. I experimented with changing the length of the flapper chain and nothing really helped...

    Bowl not filling enough

    Yes, pouring water directly into the bowl fills it properly. Also, slowly flushing it without pushing the flush lever all the way down flushes it and allows the bowl to fill properly. Flushing it normally seems to suck the water out of the bowl too fast and the flapper closes before the bowl is...

    Bowl not filling enough

    Thanks. I will try pouring water into it to check it.

    Bowl not filling enough

    I have two Toto toilets with GMAX valves. Both have always worked fine except it seems that the water level in the bowl after the flush sems to be too low. There is a rim or ledge in the bottom of the bowl that appears to be where the top surface of the water should be. But the water level is...
