Hi, hope you can help us figure this out. When we remodeled our bathroom last fall, we bought a new toilet, & of course it's the 'water saver' kind. It worked great until this summer when it kept running after you flushed. The little float would stick, and you'd have to open the tank and give it a push. So, we said that's a quick fix, just buy a new one, which we did. But now when we flush it the water in the bowl will go down to the very bottom, unless you hold the flapper up when you flush, and 'count to 3', if you know what I mean. The flapper goes down really fast, so the bowl doesn't fill up. I do not want to have to tell my guests, hold the flush handle down and count to 3 every time they want to use the guest bath. Someone told us we need a weight on the back of the flapper to keep it from going down so fast, but we couldn't find anything like that at the big box store. Also, the flapper is the big one (3" I think). Help, we are having company this weekend and need to figure this out.:confused:

Hi all - my toilet doesn't flush with the gusto I would like, sometimes "things" don't go down on the first flush, sometimes assistance with a plunger helps. The toilet is maybe 5 years old, and the mechanisms inside the tank seem to be adjusted properly and in working order, tank fills no problem. I live alone, and to my knowledge no foreign objects, sanitary napkins etc have been flushed. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this issue would be appreciated! :)
