i have a rear discharge toilet that isn't flushing properly. bowl fills up to below rim, and "flushes", after tank fills, the bowl water level drip a few inches, as if the water is siphoning out. i tried rodding the toilet and found nothing. pulled the toilet off the wall and water came out of closet bend. there was, i am guessing, less than 1" of water sitting in it. the toilet doesn't seem to be clogged, and the waste line has been rodded. but obviously the horizontal line is sloped the wrong way. i am presuming that this is what is causing the flushing and siphoning problem.
this toilet is at the end of a ap. 8' horizontal run, before entering the vertical stack. 6' away is another rear discharge in the adjoining bathroom. so: toilet, 6', another toilet, 2', vertical stack. flushing the other toilet causes some water to come out the closet bend of the none flushing toilet. it is all pvc. i could try opening the wall and see if i can raise the horizontal a bit, and then i would have to have the toilet sitting on a 1 1/4" or so platform.
another option i am considering, is installing a power flush rear discharge.
what do you think?
