My Kohler low-flush toilet is only about 8 months old. It just started to not flush completely. When I flush the toilet, the water rises almost to the rim of the bowl then slowly goes back down to the normal level. I put the nozzle of a garden hose in the bottom of the toilet bowl and turned on the water full-strength. The water went down immediately (not sluggishly, as if a partial-or complete- clog existed). But the toilet still does not flush completely. How do I resolve this problem?
Prelude:
My toilet had the same problem a few times. I managed to clean it out because the pipe is somehow connected to the downstairs drainage pipe in my house. What fixed the toilet clog was going to the source of the problem and pouring extremely powerful hair clog remover chemicals in it (I did have to open all the windows and get the pets as far away as possible and wear a mask). After the specified amount of time waiting, I went to go flush and it worked.
**Answer**:
I would recommend doing the same thing but only if everyone in the house is gone for 1 hour. Also I would air it out by leaving windows open, not first floor doors or windows though. It can be deadly if inhaled for extended periods of time. The more powerful the cleaner, the better the results but the deadlier it can be if inhaled. Try this.
My second guess is that it may be the plug inside the toilet's tank. You should check to see if it is working properly. Try flushing with the lid off and watch the plug to see if it is working properly.
