moron here who grew up with no father. How do I make more water go into my toilet bowl? Here is how much is in the bowl and I'd like a bit more because that isn't enough imo

Here is the insides
Unironically watch this 1 minute video on how a toilet works. The water in the toilet raises until the float turns it off. You want the water to go up higher so change the mechanism such that the float has to go up more before turning off the fill mechanism.
Wrong. The water level in the bowl is determined by how much water drains off, not how much flows in. The U-bend behind the bowl determines how high the water level in the bowl sits, and it cannot be changed.
Wrong. The water level in the bowl is determined by how much poop is in there, not how much flows in. The U-bend behind the bowl is clogged with poop, and the water level has superseded the bowl, and it cannot be changed.
Are you saying it's more eco-friendly to pinch off huge dumpies? What girth would conserve the most water?
It might be possible to dial it in with some well timed fiber supplements
It’s possible it’s not at the max level after a flush because all the water gets siphoned off after a flush and then the fill valve closes before it fills to the max level.
Put a few coins or whatever onto the top of the float, it'll lower it a bit.
Flush toilet and watch what happens in the tank. You have a weird flush valve (canister instead of a flapper valve). But make sure that when it lifts up (when you push the handle) that it stays open until most of the tank has drained. If it closes too soon, not enough water will flow into the bowl. If that's what is happening, you may have to replace the flush valve.
Not a pro but I believe the water level of the bowl is not the same as the water level of the “flush”. You can change the later but not the former.
Turn the screw shown here, circled in pink, in a clockwise direction in order to raise the water level in the tank.
Don't turn it up so high that the water level in the tank overflows the large black tube in the center of the tank when full.
Is this to do with the U bend? Water tries to find level?
Shhhhhh. We’re having a little fun here and you’re ruining it.
what?
>more water go into my toilet bowl
can't really
that's entirely a result of the ubend deaign
it could he brought lower by poor ventilation on the sewer line
whereby some of the water is sucked over the bend by the low pressure
Put a brick in the upper chamber. It raises the water level in it so that it forces more water into the bowl.
keep peeing in it
the level of the water in the bowl depends on the height of the trap behind the toilet, this is not trivial to change
practically you'd need to buy a new toilet with the desired shape
Other posters already pointed out how you can easily change the water level in this thread. Using $5 words doesn't get you any closer to being right.
You literally can't, it's the design of the weir ("""u bend""") that's built into the toilet itself. I came to this board from fricking /misc/ and /k/ and are people here even more toxic to newbies than those places are? Christ what the frick people it's a simple question. The water level in the tank has frick all to do with the water level in the toilet when it's at rest and unused, that's what just gets dumped into it during a flush.
You can get a new toilet with a higher weir, but most new ones will be similar because they all try to flush with 1 gallon. That just isn't enough water to flush your gigantic hot-pocket dumps and leave most of the bowl full. The net result is you end up flushing 4 times so the regulation that made them design things this way is moronic as frick. Sometimes you can find a select-flush toilet that has a big/little flush mode and some of them have a higher weir that keeps the water level fuller.
Be grateful you aren't german, then you get no water at all and you get to savor the colors and aromas of your 3 day constipated taco bell grilled stuft burrito aftermath.
> I came from fricking /misc/ and /k/ and are people here even more toxic to newbies than those places are?
lol, where do you think others came from? poltards shit up every board. PrepHole is full of them too. Everyone finds this site because of /misc/ and then discovers other boards. It attracts the worst of humanity.
I miss when everyone discovered PrepHole from /b/
heh that's how i discovered it. but it was pre-2016. it all went downhill from there.
>I came to this board from fricking /misc/ and /k/ and are people here even more toxic to newbies than those places are?
newbie.
>Christ what the frick people it's a simple question.
But it's a simple person asking it.
>lol, where do you think others came from?
>poltards shit up every board. PrepHole is full of them too
Which political board again?
>Everyone finds this site because of /misc/ and then discovers other boards. It attracts the worst of humanity.
Which is why we call them "newbies", newbie. They are "newbies" until their hubris turns into the will to endure another day.
Replace the fill valve (or "ballwiener" in OPnese). You can try adjusting it, but it's almost always the case that it has a leak and ends up filling the reservoir more than the toilet. It's also wise to replace it because when they fail completely you
1. Turn off the water behind the toilet.
2. Flush toilet and make sure that there is little to no water filling the reservoir (older house valve almost always keep pissing out water). If there's still a significant amount of water then shut it off at the source. If it still doesn't shut off then consider calling a plumber and replacing the main shut off
3. Follow instructions on the replacement kit, make sure to clean up areas where fittings clamp down.
4. Turn on water, test, adjust as needed
That easy.
I've been on this gay forum since 2004. I just don't come to PrepHole often. But I just bought a giant old colonial so here we are.
>do people really bully newbies on PrepHole???
Yes, it’s called gatekeeping, and it’s necessary a necessary part of preserving any community. If OP didn’t want people to get bullied, he should’ve posted his moronic question in the thread specifically for moronic questions.
Calling any of those $5 words is a huge red flag.
it's real simple skippy, slowly dump 1 gallon of water in to the bowl (so it doesn't flush) when you are done that is the highest level the water can get.
this, you can adjust the the stuff in the tank but if the level is overflowing the lip in the back you cannot make it go any higher.
>How do I make more water go into my toilet bowl
Pour a hydrophilic substance, such as brake fluid, into the bowl. Since brake fluid attracts water it will change the equilibrium such that the water level in the bowl remains higher than it usually would.
You can also use milk or soda if you don't have brake fluid lying around. They work, but not quite as well.
zomg i like did this and now my tank is leaking????? i tried adding milk and soda pap and it just kept leaking????? wtf do i do??? my brother said to just wait and hung up on me so now ive been draining and refilling this cup under the tank for 45 minutes???
I said into the bowl, not into the tank, moron. You dun goofed.
buy a toto drake 1.6gpf they are poop destroyers
>poop destroyer
but enough about your mom.
Just buy and learn to use a Poop Knife.
Problem solved.
