Plumbisman :

Welcome to justanswer, I will be glad to help you with your problem.

Plumbisman :

Hello are you on?

Plumbisman :

First thing you should do, is remove the water line and check flow rate. The flow rate should be at least eight quarts per minute to get a good flush.

Plumbisman :

Try that and see if that helps you solve your flushing problem.

Plumbisman :

If your satisfied with my answer, please hit accept and leave a positive feed back

Plumbisman :

If you have any other questions, just contact me..

Plumbisman :

A good flush should be obtained within 2 to 3 seconds.

Customer :

I turned on rv pump and it works better,but still has a different whining sound.The water pressure has been a little lower--36-38lbs vs40lbs. pressure about this all the time

Plumbisman :

Are you getting about 8 quarts a minute?

Plumbisman :

It says you need 8 quarts a minute to get a good flush, you need to check that to make sure the water line is working good. So you know you are getting enough water into your bowl, for a good flush.

Plumbisman :

If you have 8 quarts of flow a minute at the water line at the back of toilet, then you need to check the line from it enters the back of toilet. All the way to toilet flush valve to where it enters toilet bowl for any kind of obstruction or trash in line or toilet flush valve. If their is, clear it so you are getting the 8 quarts of water a minute entering the bowl that you need for a good flush.

Plumbisman :

I see you have been off line for awhile, and I going off line until tomorrow morning.

Plumbisman :

Good night and contact me tomorrow, if you have any further questions.
