2. Your nerves
3. Ability hold your breath if necessary
4. Standard 30 gallon trash bag

Simply place the bag over your arm and pull in all your finger while leaving you palm extended upwards. (like you are doing a palm thrust). Slowly stick your hand into the bottom of the toilet until you reach the drain. Fit your fist into the hole and pump your palm up and down while leaving your knuckles on the ceramic wall.

I have a 2yr old Kohler K4634 toilet. After flushing the water level drops about 1 inch in the bowl after the bowl filled. This causes a lower level in the bowl than is recommended. The main issue

check to see if waster continues to run into the bowl after the plunger has returned to stop water flowing. If it is a slow leak then replace the flush washer on the stopper plunger.

American standard toilet doesnt always flush, water swirls around

There is a clog in the line. A plunger usually solves this problem, but you have to use a toilet plunger. Your local hardware store will give you the right tool ($13). If the plunger doesn't work, you need a toilet auger (also called a closet auger), which you can buy for less than $20.

My toilet is having a small leak from the cystern which meant the saniflo switched on, on its own, every 24 hours or so. I switched it off at the mains but had not realised about the leak so the toilet bowl filled up. I switched the saniflo back on and it is just making a loud noise now and not pumping. presumibly the unit filled up with water too when I turned it off. How can I get it working again.


About leak, it may be that the washers are worn out, or you might have the nut too tight.

If the pump isn't working, the length or height of the installation is over the specification, or there are too many bends/elbows or the pump chamber is blocked. First try to check this and the right position and installation of the components (click over image)...

Additionally, I suggest check the troubleshooting section in the user manual: saniflo.co.uk/Downloads.

When I flush the toilet, the bowl feels with water. It will not empty the bowl.

Hi,
You have a clog in the toilet or in the piping....
Often this can be corrected by using a toilet plunger... they can be bought at any local hardware...
if the plunger don't work, then the toilet auger is the nest step...
If you cannot get it going with that, then you need to call in a professional guy to open your piping...

toilet bowl is clogged

Go to Lowes and get a power plunger (it shoots a blast of water directly at the clog) or get a plumbers snake and work the clog out. Follow up with a liquid Plumber or Draino unless you have a septic tank. Good luck.
