When I flush the toilet, little parts of toilet paper is in the bottom of the toilet after it is flushed. What can I do to get all the toilet paper doen the drain?

Can you describe the flush? Will it simply swirl around and slowly go down? Does it leave solids behind? Can you give us more details? Tom

The swirl is a normal circular motion. Not really fast. It is an old toilet not the 1.5 gallon type. No solids are left just small parts of the toilet paper. I raised up the water level but can't really raise it up too much more.

Let's just see if we can get you a stronger flush. Look down at the bottom of the bowl. If there is a small hole, then that is a jet that starts the syphon action.. Take your finger,(UGH! ) and run it around the inside of the opening. Over the years minerals build up and cut down on the syphon (flush) action. If it is rough or you feel build up, take a table knife and put a bend in it to get around the curve in the bowl and chip and scrap it clear. . And last, check the water level in the tank. It should be 1/2" below the top of the over flow tube. Also, while you're checking the jet feel the bottom of the bowl. If you feel anything but a smooth surface you've found the reason paper sticks to the bowl. Regards , Tom
