View Full Version : Double Flush and not all GONE

Hello all. So I have one toilet at my home that I have no idea what else to change. Here is my issue. When flushing it does what I call a double or triple flush. In other words the toilet bowl empties, but the toilet resorvoir tank has not emptied out so it flush again, and sometimes again until the flapper closes. I have lowered and raised the water level but still same results. As it flushes many times it will not empty it out and leave toilet paper behind or anything else... I have changed the Flapper and Toilet valve. It seems as if there is not enough pressure when empting out the tank. Not sure what else to look at. Any ideas... Thanks

WHERE'S ALL THE MODERATORS?

This belongs in the plumbing section, does it not.:)

In the meantime, have you checked the water level in the tank? It should be about 3/4" below the top of the overflow tube. If it isn't that high (and your symptoms indicate that), adjust the fill valve, by either raising the float ball or cup to allow it to fill properly. Let us know how that goes.
