Sewage

Even the most reliable household equipment with time comes into disrepair. This also applies to the toilet, which in this case begins to flush badly. We have to deal with this problem in more detail, find out the causes of its occurrence, and also find ways to solve this problem. All work will be carried out independently without the involvement of specialists plumbers.

Not every one of us knows what to do if the toilet flushes badly.

What happened

The most common scenario is that the toilet worked well and problems were not noticed in its operation. However, the flush suddenly became worse and worse.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most frequent problems that may arise during the operation of the device. We will consider not only the causes, but also ways of solving them on the spot with objects that everyone has in the house.

Cause

By itself, the drain is a fairly small hole, which after some time will surely overgrown with lime deposits. Faster, this will occur in regions where water is supplied to consumers from underground sources. On its way, it erodes sedimentary rocks, as a result of which it is enriched with mineral salts. That's their part and begins to settle on the walls of plumbing. When the toilet is operated for a sufficiently long time, a situation often arises when its drainage becomes covered with lime for almost a quarter or a third of the initial clearance.
Trash ingress is also possible. Usually it is a rubber hose from the float valve of the drain tank, which is designed to reduce the noise during the last water intake. But, if there is no cover on the container, the clogging of the drain hole may occur for another reason. Therefore, we recommend that you always close the lid of the tank.

Decision

Look under the pear, if you are lucky, the cause of the blockage will be visible to the naked eye and the problem of why the new toilet doesn’t flush badly will be solved.
In case of obvious blockage with a foreign object that cannot be reached, turn off the water to the drain tank, take tweezers and a flashlight. In this case, you will have the chance to fix the problem without disassembling.
Dismantling - make it in the case when the clog can not be removed through the tank fails. To do this, unscrew the bolts between the container and the shelf and carefully remove it from the toilet. Before you open the drain hole. Clean up the accumulated garbage with your own hands or use special tools. Then carefully reassemble the structure. We recommend checking the cuff under the shelf and replace it if it has lost its elasticity.

Bad flushing the toilet– check the drain of his tank on the clog

Tip: the closed lid of the drainage tank reduces the amount of vapors in the toilet and does not make the air more humid in it, and it is also an aesthetic component of the room.

Unable to collect full flush volume

It also greatly affects the normal discharge, as the pressure will be insufficient.

The reasons why the toilet flushes badly:

Poor adjustment of the float valve, which blocks the water too early.
In the tank, the water does not have time to collect, but it goes ahead.
Unregulated float. For example, a brass lever can be bent in old tanks; its level is exposed to new levels using one or two plastic screws (latches).

Replacing the pear will allow you to find out why the toilet does not wash off the first time.

We will solve the problem when the water simply does not linger in the storage tank.

So, if:

The pear saddle is littered - just clean it.
Pear cracked or lost elasticity - replace, its price is low.
Steel or plastic bolts inside the tank collapsed and water goes into the shelf in the holes - replace the bolts or the complete set of valves.

Water does not enter the tank

Naturally, in this case it is not necessary to speak of a washout either.

Possible reasons why the water in the toilet is not washed off and their solutions:

The nozzle of the float valve was dross from water pipes or grains of sand.

Tip: install the simplest filter at the entrance of the water supply network to the apartment.

Poor water in the toilet because of its failure

Below is a guide to solving the problem:

shut off the flow of water into the tank;
remove the pin securing the float lever in the valve;
pull the lever with the float out of the valve;
clean the nozzle with a wire or using a knitting needle;
open and immediately close the faucet to the drain tank so that the water washes away the remnants of sand and slag;
assemble the toilet flush valve in the reverse order.

What to do if badly flushes the new toilet — check the installation of the valve of the drain tank

Slag clogged or overgrown with deposits liner to the tank, which is possible when using, first of all, steel pipes.

The solution will be:

turn off the water in the apartment;
unscrew the flexible liner to the tank;
dismantle the tap, which cuts off water to the tank;
make a tool to clean the pipeline. A steel string is best suited. Make one end of a hook the size of a match head, on the other - bend the string like a brace;
start feeding the string into the pipe, while simultaneously turning it with the handle. The goal is to destroy the blockage that has arisen in it;
After the string has passed the intended place of the blockage, do not pull it out. Place an e-bucket under the tap and slightly open the water. If she went and immediately stopped, continue to rotate the string, pulling it through the clogging point. Water should go fine.

Tip: use for water pipes polymer and metal products, which are not overgrown with sediment.

If you don’t understand why you don’t flush the toilet the first time, check the filling capacity

Conclusion

The main causes of poor flushing of water from the tank to the toilet can be completely eliminated on their own, without the involvement of specialists plumbers. It is only necessary to adhere to our recommendations in the work. The video in this article will provide an opportunity to find additional information on the above topic.
