New Gerber Avalanche toilet installed last week by plumbing company. Toilet is on 2nd floor. I noticed that the water level seemed to decrease. House is 34 years old. I performed the following:
Called the owner of the plumbing company and he had it replaced with another new Gerber Avalanche toilet 2 days ago. The owner though maybe small hole in toilet. The plumber checked the drain and there was no blockage.
Same problem is now happening again.
What bothers me is that the plumber did not replace the 34 year old flange just the bolts. Was that a mistake? I never replaced a toilet but I have replaced sinks, dishwashers and faucets when I was younger.
I never noticed that the original 34 year old toilet had a problem like this. Although it did have a very large bowl.
I can't figure this out. Is this normal with the newer toilets. Hate to call the owner again - will probably thing I am nuts even though I have dealt with him for over 15 years.
Any advice would be appreciated...

- Flushed toilet and waited 10 minutes
- Marked the toilet bowl level with electrician tape
- Add red food coloring
- Took picture of bowl level after 12 hours (1st pic) and 24 hours (last pic)
