Is it possible to lower the water level in a toilet bowl? How? For
some reason, one of the toilet bowl in the second story always has
more water than others.

Easiest thing would be to obsess on something else.

If it's a water use problem, try sticking a brick or something in the
bowl to take up some volume.

No. The maximum level is determined by the design
of the trap passageway in the china bowl.

Well, you might choke off the water supplied by
the refill tube but it would be touchy.

Surely you mean the tank rather than the bowl.

Well yes, but it would be interesting to stick it in the bowl.

Doesn't all toilet tanks have an adjustment where you can adjust the
level of the water when it fill up? You probably need to adjust it..

Ruins my whole day !!!!

Yes, for adjusting the level in the tank, not the bowl. The bowl
level is determined by the drop off point inside the casting. Thats
where the water and poop drops into the pipes. There is no way to
change that.

How old are your toilets? Some may be the newer 1.6L/Flush while others,
well, aren't.

The short answer is "no"..why would you want to ?

If the OP is thinking of saving water one way will be to fill a
pitcher manually and pour that into the bowl to flush a pee for
example. The level of water in the bowl often ends up lower than from
a tank's flush, but this is not the primary objective. I had lowered
the tank water level and often its not enough to clear a herioc load
of poop. I give that tank flush a boost by dumping the pitcher water
while the flush is running. That does the job.

Yes and no. After the flush, the thing refills from the little tube
that runs at the top of the tank from the fill valve to the overflow
tube (could be plastic, rubber, even copper, but it's always small,
like 1/4 inch); when the tank is filling if you take the top off the
tank you can see water getting squirted down the overflow tube, this is
the water that will fill the bowl. Generally this water is enough to
bring up the water level in the bowl to where it's above the high point
of the siphon in the toilet outlet, so any water over that level will
drain out through the siphon and it will stay at that level. That's
kind of an unbreakable upper limit to the height of the water. Hope you
can understand what I'm trying to say.

Anyway, the exception is that if not enough water comes into the bowl
through the refill tube via the overflow, then it won't reach the
height of the top of the siphon, and obviously will end up with lower
water level.

If the toilets are both working correctly and filling up to the height
of the siphon if they have the same height they will have the same
water height, if they have different siphon heights they will have
different water heights. Duh.

So, potentially, if you wanted to reduce the water level, you could
somehow restrict the fill tube with a clamp or something, shouldn't be
that hard, and even more potentially, only if the fill tube wasn't
delivering enough water to get it up to the siphon height, there's the
possibility of getting it to deliver more water to get it up to that
max height, but damned if I can figure out an easy way to do that.
