How Do I Fix Flush Power In A 1.6 GPF Toilet?
Bad news – you can’t. The 1.6 gallons mandated by the government and secretly checked by their toilet police is what you get. It’s a reduction of the water operated by gravity that clears your toilet. So if the result is an incomplete flush, you have to flush again, which now uses twice the water, which is also more than the 2.5 gallons the 1.6 gallons replaced. Your government at work! What you can do to aid a single flush is to fill a small bucket with water – quart size or so – with water. Flush toilet, as it begins to swirl downward, pour additional water in center of toilet. Added venturi action usually completes flush in one try.
