flush it..the waste goes down but there is not a water pressure that comes out of the hole at the bottom of the bowl..Is this normal or can something be done..Thanks |

And, that fix would be.....? buy muriatic acid, and a funnel, open window, wear safety glasses, plunge or drain bowl as good as possible, sponge if needed. put funnel in dip tube hole. pour carefully acid in funnel. then some directly in bowl. leave room, shut door, wait at least 15 minutes. return and flush normally do it 15 times to dilute all acid and move it along. this cleans all the interior toilet openings, er passages. it really works |
