TOILET FLUSH

by ALJO » Sun Aug 16, 2009 12:13 pm

I had a new toilet pan installed,now find it can take as many as six flushes to remove the waste product.
I think the toilet outlet is too low in relation to the soil pipe.,but have been told nothing can be done.
your advice would be welcome.

Does it provide a good flush ? good amount of water, is the cistern full ?

If the toilet connection is lower than the soil pipe connection - then there's your problem you will have to raise the toilet pan to get it to flush.

htg[/quote]Many thanks for your reply,which is about as I saw the problem...but at least I will have something to show the landlord who says nothing can be done.
