Hi,
My wife is into everything retro - consequently I'm currently removing a perfectly good, modern white bathroom suite and replacing it with a 70's avocado suite.
All's going well so far, we managed to get the cast iron bath up the stairs eventually. I'm currently doing the toilet.
So, the old toilet worked perfectly well, therefore there's nothing wrong with the waste pipe at the wall.
I've fitted the new 70's toilet and have replaced every part except for the siphon as it seems to be ok. No leaks so all good there.
The only problem I've got is that the water is sitting too high.
When you flush, tissue sits on top of the water and the flow from the jets seems to go under the tissue which holds it up out of the way of the pull from the bend.
I've tried restricting the water level with the fill valve and by restricting the flush with the syphon - in both cases the water still sits high but more flushes are needed to get rid of 'stuff'.
If you push the tissue down with a brush, you can hear water flowing out the back into the waste pipe.
What do I need to do to fix this?
