The new toilet has more flushing volume than the old one. The system should handle this. The problem could be the vents on the roof are plugged or something in the line is obstructing the flow. You will need to contact a plumber
Easy fix go to your nearest hardware store they should have a replacement part on hand. It just unscrews from the back... Good luck and have a great day!
It sounds like the nylon nut which holds the handle in place is too tight. Try loosening that nylon nut just a little to see if the handle moves easier. Sometimes if they are over-tightened, the handle will be stiff and hard to operate.
You can try this, get a bottle of liquid plumber industrial or pro, and pour the entire bottle into the pipe in the toilet, when you remove the toilet cover you see a pipe that has a water line in it from the fill valve, if you can't pour the liquid into this pipe, then turn off the water to the toilet, flush it and hold the handle until all the water has emptied out.
Now while holding the handle, pour the bottle into the hole where the stopper is open, the hole where the water goes down.
Wait a hour, then take a bucket of hot water and fill the toilet water tank, flush it, do this again.
Now turn the water back on and flush. If the shower still over flows, you will need a plumber to come and snake the main line from the toilet down until the clog is cleared.
Unless he finds a close access near the toilet if this is on the first floor and he can do it from the basement.
The flapper ball may be contaminated and not sealing or the float level has changed and needs adjustment. You should be able to see if the overflow has water flowing into it continuously.
the best way i found it to use large pair of pliers on each side and turn, almost all nuts on the handle will turn the opposite direction to remove. I have even sprayed PB spray on them to help loosen. This should work for you no problem.
Assuming we are talking about a standard flush toilet, it sounds like the internal flush actuator lever is hitting the top of the toilet on the inside. Remove the lid, hold the exterior handle. and carefully bend the lever down a little. Also make sure the lever hasn't slipped or is loose. Put the lid back on try again. Repeat until the toilet flushes with the lid on.
YOU COULD HAVE A BLOCKAGE IN YOURE LINE OR IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU JUST NEED TO ADJUST THE CHAIN THAT CONCTS THE Handle to RUBBER STOPPER IN THE BACK OF THE TOILET THIS WATER IS CLEAN AND YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND IN THE BACK PART OF THE TOILET WITH NO WORRIES JUST TAKE OFF THE LID AND FLUSH IT OBSERVE THE RUBBER STOPPER IN THE BACK OF THE TOILET IS IT COMING ALL THE WAY OUT
Grohe does not make toilets. look inside the tank for manufacturer and model number it sounds like a one piece toilet and the seat bolt nuts are in the tank feel around for them.Grohe only makes handles for toilets to match their faucet finishes
pull the lid off the toilet, disassemble the toilet handle mech and take the cartridge out of the big black tank under there. the cartridge should be available at any local plumbing parts house. let me know if you have problems
