If there's room, just extend the center drain tube with a short piece

There is, but I expect there'd the less benefit given what I just saw
when I payed attention this time.

Just slightly more than half the water in the tank went into the bowl.

Does the flapper also have an attached float? If so, move it closer
to the flapper. And if not, try installing one attached very close to
the flapper, which will extend the length of time it stays open and
allow more water into the bowl with each flush.


Yep, hadn't really noticed it before and I had the ability test one by
moving the float down 3 "knobs" on the chain. Seemed to help but not a
lot. I don't get why the flange is so quick to close. It never was
this quick before with older toilets.

However, I suspect Greg is also right that these allow you to just
hold the handle down longer to get all the water in the tank. I just
hate having to think about it.

I'll try out combinations to see what works. I suspect if I can get 2
to 2.5 gallons going, I'd be just fine.

I saw a toilet that had two handles, one for liquid waste and one for
solid waste. That looked interesting. I'd just hate to have to explain
it to everyone.
