Sluggish toilet
by the way 5 gal buckets are 4 to 4.5 gal buckets. fill 1/2 or so, dump in stool. don't run it over. if water goes down, good. now do it over, but throw in 5 or 6 pieces of toilet paper let them get wet. now dump your water in. if this goes down, good. your stool or drain is not plugged. it may be be a tad bit slower but if you have a blockage it will stop or almost so. if drain is clear check you water level in reservoir adjust for more water, if possible. rim holes can be cleaned but i've never found that to work very well. inside of casting has the same build up, water is slowed way down.............if stool is plugged. the first thing to do is get a 1 1/2" or 2" mirror at the napa store. stick it the stool, use you flashlight and see if you can see anything. if so can you grab it? if your hand won't work, use tongs like you use to cook spaghetti, bend them. bend pieces of wire. if not back to napa store. tell clerk what your doing. tell him the hooks are with cotter key removers. they will have a screwdriver type handle. get the big one. take your hook home and hook what ever is in there................if that doesn't work, you can rent or buy a closet auger. don't scratch the stool..............if that doesn't work you will need to remove stool.................i stool is fine, you will need to snake the line. have fun breid
