Update 4/9/19- Absolutely stuck! I've tried so much to get more then a nominal flow from the rim jets and increase the water surface area of my ten year old Kohler pressure assisted rear discharge toilet. I cleaned the rim holes, removed the tank and back probed towards the rim, replaced the cartridge, replaced the duck bill, checked the screen, removed the flow restrictor, replaced the tank to bowl seal, and snaked the toilet to no avail.
Kohler says the stack is clogged or the porcelain is cracked. The plumber says the stack in my high rise is fine. The bowl's water surface area stays at the proper level when water is poured into the bowl and water isn't leaking from the toilet. The plumber says its the pressure vessel so I obtained a replacement. When I install the new pressure vessel is there anything else I should try?
Thanks,
Joe
My Kohler K-3554 pressure assisted rear discharge toilet has virtually no water coming out of the rim jets. The siphon jet is still powerful as normal. I've cleaned out all the rim holes, went through the Fluidmaster diagnostics including checking the water flow to the toilet and that the screen was clear. I also replaced the cartridge and the duck bill valve though both were fine.
Is there anything else I should be doing to find the source of the lack of water from the holes in the rim?
Many thanks,
Joe
