• We all know that the toilet is a durable plumbing
  fixture. It will last for a great number of years
  but that doesnt mean that it wont be prone to
  plumbing issues.

• Phantom Flushing
• When you hear a flushing sound even when nobodys
  using the toilet, theres probably a leak coming
  from the tank. Confirm this by putting a few
  drops of food coloring into the tank. When the
  water in the toilet bowl turns the same color the
  presence of leak is verified.

• Weak Flushing
• When the flush is weak, check the siphon jet
  holes of the toilet. Clear it of hard mineral
  deposits that are possibly blocking the flow of
  water into the fixture.

• Partial Flushing
• If the toilet is not flushing completely, its
  possible that the flapper valve is waterlogged or
  it could be dropping too fast. Watch the flapper
  valve while youre flushing the toilet. It should
  stay up and not more than 80 percent of the water
  in the tank should be drained. Otherwise, replace
  the flapper valve.

• Tank Wont Fill Up Fast
• There will be times when youll discover that the
  tank takes too long to get filled up. Double
  check the supply valve under the tank and adjust
  it to increase the water flow.

• Whistling While Refilling
• If you hear some kind of whistling sound while
  the tank is getting filled up, you should have
  the toilet tank fill valve checked. As the ball
  floats up and the water fill valve slowly closes,
  vibrations are produced and therefore the
  whistling sound reverberates. To solve this,
  replace the valve.

• Reduced Water Level In The Bowl
• When the water level in the bowl lowers down, it
  may due to a partial clog in the toilet colon.
  Some of the common culprits include toilet paper,
  body wipes or worse --- an old cloth or rag. In
  some cases, however, a toilet bowl water level
  that gradually decreases is caused by a crack in
  the toilet colons interior or the very drain
  pipe itself.
