    Toilet bowl water level
    How can one lower the water level in the toilet bowl, not the tank, just the bowl. I have already lowered the tank level a bit, but it did not cause and change in the bowl level.
    Thanks

    The water level in bowl is control by built in trap and can not be lowered.

    Chucks right, can't change level which is determined by toilet trapway design. Why do you want to change the water level?

    If you really want to lower the bowl level bring the tank level back up to the mark and unhook
    The small tube that runs from the ballcock to the overflow tube and let it hang down in the tank.
    WARNING--
    If you allow the bowl level to get too low sewer gas can escape past the trap. Be cautious! Good luck, Tom
