How to Make the Toilet Flush Stronger

 A flush toilet is a toilet that uses the power of water to dispose of human waste through a sewer pipe to another location, either nearby or to a communal facility, thus disposing of human’s and their waste between separation.

Toilets usually lack flushing power because waste pipes, siphon jets, or rim jets are partially closed, or the water level in the tank or bowl is too low. In these cases, clear the obstruction and adjust the system to correct the water level.

Week flush: 

Toilets that have been in use for some time may have a slow or weak flush. With minerals such as calcium and lime, debris particles such as rust, rum feed and toilet bowl jet holes are quite common. Over time, these reservoirs block and prevent water from flowing into the toilet, causing a weak or incomplete flush.

Strong flush:

The pressure-operated toilet uses a secondary tank, located in its main toilet tank to create additional air pressure to help flush the toilet while retaining more water in the toilet bowl. This toilet is extraordinarily stronger than traditional gravity flow models and flushes out more waste using less water.

Make toilet flush stronger:

The number one task of the toilet is to dispose of waste from the toilet bowl. In fact, that's its only job. The number one complaint of homeowners is the closure of toilets. Not being able to do your number one job. The strong flushing toilet is the one that does not close, cleans the waste quickly and efficiently, and is calm.

Causes and Solutions of Weak Flushing Toilets:

Clog in Toilet:

Sometimes, clogs can make your bathroom completely useless, and you have to clean the clog to fix the problem. However, a blockage can partially block the flow of water through the pipes. Due to the closure, the water pressure of your flush decreases and you get a flush that cannot clean the wastage of the toilet.

Solution

Put a bucket of cold water in the toilet bowl and then flush the toilet. If the toilet does not flush properly after you have poured too much water, it may mean that your toilet is partially closed. It is not difficult to clean partial toilets.

You will have to sink your toilet to clean the lock properly. Or, you can remove the obstruction using a plumber's snake. Both methods are effective and should be able to clean off and strengthen your toilet flush.

Bowl’s Water Level Could be the Issue:

When you flush the toilet, water from the tank flows into a medium-sized vacuum cleaner. After flushing, the tank needs to be refilled. As soon as the rubber tool falls below the fill line in the tank, the refill tube attached to the tank starts adding water. Water keeps accumulating in the tank until the float is on the full line.

Solution

Open your toilet tank and check the float as well as the full line. Keep the tank open and flush the toilet. Watch the water as it comes out of the toilet bowl and refills. If you see that the tube attached to the tank stops pouring more water before it reaches the full line of the float, it means that your tank is not completely filled with water.

This way your toilet will not be able to flush with the required pressure. You can adjust the float by moving it with your hand and changing its position on the arm through which it connects to the toilet refill tube. Your toilet should be stronger now. If not, you will need to call a plumber to diagnose the problem and fix your toilet flush.

The rim may need cleaning:

Water enters the bowl through jet holes made in the upper edge of the toilet bowl. The flow of water and its pressure is controlled by these jets as the water enters the bowl. Jet holes also form a centrifugal force which is most important for a strong flush. These jets can shut down over time, making it difficult for water to flow through them under pressure. The pressure in the flush is lost in clearing obstacles, so you end up with a weak flush.

Solution

Find the jet hole under the toilet rim. You should be able to tell if mineral deposits or sediment have blocked small nozzles that are thought to allow water to enter.

Use vinegar solution or cleaning agent and old wire or toothbrush to clean the blockage on the nozzles. Once you're done, clean the bowls and nozzles using a toilet bowl cleaner or batch. Now your toilet will flush with pressure.

Flapper adjustment:

A cup-like fixture found on the base of a toilet tank is called a toilet flapper. This fixture is used to cover the hole that leads to the bowl. It is attached to the toilet handle by a chain or metal rod. When you flush the toilet, the flapper rises from its position, allowing water to flow from the toilet tank into the bowl.

When water enters the bowl, a pressure difference is introduced, and the fast flowing water clears the wastage of the bowl. When the flapper does not rise as much as it is supposed to or if it closes faster than that, the tank will not get enough water into the bowl.

Solution

A broken flapper can also carry water in a bowl. You can easily adjust the flapper by replacing the chain or rod to make it slower or less slack. After making this adjustment, flush the toilet to see if the new position works.

If all else fails, call a plumber:
