A friend of ours has a toilet in her condo that when flushed does not
go down the bowl all the way. I also noticed that the tank is a
plastic *almost* facsimile of the tank that belongs there.

I am sure what you are talking about, but the usual remedy for a clog is a
plunger.


Plunger first, snake second, if it is an old toilet where there is hard
water, the rim holes may be clogged with mineral buildup also and not
getting the whoosh of water needed to move things. That can be checked by
dumping a bucket of water into the bowl to flush. If it does not, it is the
trap or beyond.

Since you mention facsimile, was the tank replaced? Did the problems start
then? I'd investigate that also.
