Can you change the water level of a toilet?
Would like to increase the depth of the water in a toilet. Is this
something that is normally adjustable? I have taken toilets off before but never really looked at them carefully. Thanks Dean |

Only in the tank can you raise the water level, not the bowl. Tom

The water level in a second floor commode is higher than the water level of
a first floor commode. :-) RJ "Calvin Henry-Cotnam" wrote in message ... tom ) said... Only in the tank can you raise the water level, not the bowl.

Chances are you can only get a half inch or so. |

I meant the bowl, sorry for the confusion. I didn't think so, but you
never know! Thanks Dean |

While you might be able to reduce the amount of water per flush with the old bricks in the tank trick (to still give high enough level for flush pressure, without as much volume). But reducing amount of water in the bowl requires a different toilet. If both toilets are the same kind, it is possible that the one with the lower level has some sort of crack or leak in its trap, or the little hose off the the float control is not connected the same. |
