Toilet flush not convincing..
 
Hello. I have just fitted a new toilet. the flush works but without
any real pressure. Water just trickles out from around the pan.

Is there any way to increase the flow of water out? or are these
standard?

Does the trickle trickle in such a way as to effectively do the job?

Not sure on this one quite yet. It hasn't yet been used fully. It is
a 2nd toilet installed outside. It was connected to the existing
drains where the old outdoor toilets used to be.

I think i need to try it in operation i guess.

If it conserves water and does it's job that would regularly save a
couple of revolutions of the water meter.

I've 'just' done an experiment ..... time to empty the cistern = seven
seconds ...
time for cistern to refill twenty-eight seconds ! Very unscientific, margin
of error ... ;
But are your results very different?

I don't have any results yet. Still waiting for the Senna pods to take
effect. :-)

Don't you mean; "Does the trickle trickle in such a way as to effectively do
the job on the jobbies?"

Please sort out your quoting when you post.

The hole I mean is the one at the back of the WC bowl, which the
cistern sits on.
