  • what if this doesn't work.

  • How about a slow flushing toilet?

  • no wire hangeerrrrsss!!!!

  • @mdirtbike You are correct. I had old ballcock type and it had no VWOOSH! because there wasn't enough water in the tank. Had to bend it up to allow a little more water and I got the VWOOSH!

  • Pour a gallon of vinegar down the overflow tube (in the tank) that will help dissolve not just the stuff you can see (and reach with a coathanger) but the buildup within the toilet as well.

    I saw this solution on the Ramona's Plumber youtube channel.

  • I do plumbing for a living and alot of people dont know this trick. u can also adjust the water level in the tank for a better flush

  • good tip on old toilets
