Need assistance in the plumbing area. Specifically adjusting the toilet water levels.
The main tank is operating fine. However, after each flush, the water level in the bowl does not fill in completely. How can I adjust that level??

Audiotech, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
The water level in the bowl is controlled by the height of the trap which is built into the bowl. There is no way to control the level. The trap is a "U" shaped waterway. When the bowl fills to the proper level, any excess water runs down the drain at the rear of the bowl. The trap is built in to form a water seal that keeps sewer gas from entering the house. If you take a bucket of water and slowly pour it into the bowl, the water level should not change. Good luck.
