Toilet Video

VIDEO SUMMARY

The tank is the business end of the toilet. It all starts in there. The water is stored in the tank until the handle is tripped. The handle opens the flapper valve, allowing the water to flow into the bowl. As it leaves the bowl, the water splits and goes to the water siphon jet hole and to the holes under the rim.

The waste water exits the bowl through the colon and through a passageway before leaving the toilet. That concludes Toilet 101. Tim's flushed with excitement!

My toilet does not flush right. When flushing the tank only empties half way. I have to add a bowl of water to help flush. This is a new mobile home that I bought about 2 years ago. I can't find the name of the toilet on the bowl. Water in bowl also seems not to have enough water to start with. Help please..
