I just installed a new toilet american standard cadet 3. There appear to be no leaks, BUT the bowl does not fill with much water. a few inches. When I flush it splashes every where. I even tried filling the bowl with water from a bucket but it just runs down to its original level. Is this the normal level???
HELP
Could be, old toilets used upwards of 3 gallons where as new ones use 1.6 gallons. The sump area of a new toilet will contain much less water than what you replaced if it was an old one. Does the flush action remove all waste efficiently? Can you tell us more about the splashing, where it happens, maybe a picture.
Yeah! What splashes? The tank? The bowl? Clue us in! Are you quite sure the little refill tube from the ballcock to the overflow tube's in place?(see image)
The bowl water splashes. I tried holding the flush lever down a little longer and the bowl filled sufficiently. I will try adjusting the chain.
Thanks for the replys.
Adjust you float so the water fills the tank 1" short of the over flow tube. When you flush does the flapper kick up and stay up for about 10 seconds or more??
Did it pop up almost totally verticle? The falpper should be able to open almost verticle and the slowly float back down as the water drains, try flushing with out the hanlde, just give the chain a pull so the flapper comes fully open, did it fluh better?
