Power flush toilet does not power flush - American Standard Plumbing

If it has a power flush (i.e hole about 1" in size opposite side of flushing direction) that hole gets plugged by minerals from the hard water, when it does the flush will be much weaker. To clean it, use a bent coat hanger and ream out the deposits as far in as you can reach. Then turn off the water supply, flush the toilet, then quickly pour one pail full of water into the toilet to drop the water level to minimum. Get "Lime Away" at H/Depot, pour in 1 cup and let sit overnight to eat the remaining hard water deposits from the bowl and power flush. In morning turn on water flush a few times, should wok good as new. Repeat anytime hole starts to get plugged.

Remove the toilet & have a plumbing company power snake
as much of the entire homes waste drain as possible

Maybe clogged inside the home on most runs & also out to
the street,have them do as much as they can, out to the street

Remove all toilets, so they can do good job & you can check &
clean them from under it

Have them run a camera down ALL drains & to the street

The power of the flush has nothing to do with the fill valve. It has to do with the flapper. When the flapper is opened, the surge of water into the bowl is what causes the toilet to flush. If the flapper closes too quickly, it will take away from the powerful flush. Try to find the correct flapper for that type of toilet and stay away from the "universal" flappers.

Check the power source to toilet and all wiring conversed.

Welcome to the world of 1.6 gallon flush toilets. You have already done everything that can be done to help the problem and no you are not the only people having this problem. This is just the beast!
They have had this problem with these 1.6 flush toilets from the get go and have come out with power flush toilets to fix this but hold on to your wallet. There are some toilets out there that work better without the power flush made buy American Standard and Kohler but they will run you more then the Jacuzzi.
Sorry I wish there was a better answer to this.

its got a blocked down pipe lime scale will do this to you, the only way to sort it out is strip it out completly and give it a good clean, if that still failes to flush then its the flushing pump needing looking at,

Hi
try to increase the amount of water for each flush .
