I bought an Eljer toilet at a recycle place but when I got it home I noticed it has no siphon jet. The toilet works, at least so far, but I think not as intended. It has three major holes under the front of the rim and a number of minor holes along the sides. In use, the water crashes straight down from the major holes upsetting the bowl contents, but then flushes it down. (It has not so far had any really challenging contents). The minor holes emit streams but there is no swirling action whatsoever.
It happens that I once before tried an Eljer which had a removable plastic piece under the rim which channeled the water to the right. Of course no one wants to remove and clean a piece like that but it did create a mighty flush. That was 10 years ago--also a used, therefore older, toilet. If I had remembered in time I would not have bought an Eljer--at least not without a siphon jet.
What I would like to know is whether I have inadvertantly gotten an Eljer toilet which came with such a plastic piece and if the part is available? It is a two piece toilet with elongated bowl and no other marking that have found except the Eljer badge. My question is whether I am right about the missing piece or is this the way the toilet is supposed to work?
