do all of your toilets do this?
NO. Just the one on the 3rd floor.

Try flushing using a bucket of water. Does it flush OK this way?

When it is clogged, I have tried filling the bowl all the way to the
brim to try to let "gravity" work, but it still doesn't clear.

When are you suggesting I use a bucket? If I use it before it clogs, I
won't know whether it would have clogged without the bucket. If I use
it after a clog, isn't that the same as just filling the bowl with water

Sometimes filling the bowl, causes it to clear but most of the time, I
need the plunger to clear it.

If not theres a clog, and it never hurts to run a toilet auger down the
trap.

I have tried the closet augur without success.


If it flushes ok using a bucket does the water kinda swirl around
without much force?

Unless clogged (or partially clogged) it seems to be ok.

hard water can clog the interior passages of the toilet and cause this.
the good news its easily fixed.

take off the tank lid, is the water level near the top of the dip tube
like it should be? does the water flow out well when flushed?

YES. Seems to work fine.


i am certain we can help after we find out a bit more
THANKS.
