Flush handle hard to push on toilet
We have three toilets of the same brand
On one the arm from the flush handle to the chain of the flapper broke
I replaced the arm
I then realized it takes a lot of pressure/resistance on the small handle to flush the toilet
One toilet out of the 3 flushes real easy with out much effort
The 3rd toilet also flushes hard with a lot of pressure or resistance on the handle
I think this resistance is what caused toilet 1 to break the arm along with probably the age of the arm
What would cause the resistance or hard to flush operation of the handle for the2 toilets but not 1 of them?
Thanks for any help

Hi, I have had that problem On Low Flow Kohler toilets' The flapper is Hard Rubber with a gasket. Over time the gasket deteroites and sticks to the flush valve. Replace the flapper also clean the flapper seat so the new one won't stick.
