Question -
I have a new toilet and it always gets blocked or has to flush two times to work.I heard people haveing  trouble with the new toilets, is there anything I can do to get a better flush?
Answer -
Thanks for the question.  What brand water closet do you have?
I have a kohler toilet a wellworth model

Answer
O.K.  well thats a good toilet.  I have found that sometimes people buy a cheap toilet and thats what the have!  

I would make sure the float is properly adjusted, you want at much of the 1.6 gal to flush.  Other then that there is not much to adjust.  They do make another type of low flow - its called a pressure assist toilet.  When you flush you send copressed air along with the water.  It makes a little bit of noise, but flushes really well
