No problems getting over the hump. Most of a toilet's motive force is actually caused by the siphon of the water & contents going down into the sewer drain. The tank water flowing down into the bowl just helps get things started... you certainly wouldn't want it to blast into the bowl and cause a "backsplash".

Oh, if you're going to go to the trouble of buying a new toilet, get a bidet seat. A little strange at first, but a nice bit of luxury.

Re: Anyone have a Toto toilet?
ok, I had one in the Condo at Discovery bay....I list it among MANY of the things I miss from my time living on Oahu. I will not get into the details, we all know what toilets do, but I thought of our toto as the Benz of bowls. I loved it.
that is all.

Another thing you can do is toss a bucket of water into the bowel and see if it flushes. If it doesn't, you've got a problem in the trap or the drain. If it does, then it's likely a clog between the tank and the main jet. The water you see running down the sides of the bowl is just to clean the sides.

Originally posted by Da Rolling Eye View PostDoesn't sound like a toilet problem. More of a slow drain or maybe pressure in the line. Toilets work on syphon. So long as water goes in the bowl and the level is higher than the drain or water level in the trap, the water will flush. How fast depends if the sewer line is clogged or there's somekind of back pressure in that line possibly caused by a plugged vent.
The water starts off spinning, and doesn't have a large opening for the tank release, so I'm thinking it has more to do with the toilet design. I already lifted one toilet, and there doesnt' seem to be an obstruction in the pipe, although it's still a possibility. The toilet on the other side of the wall is my own, and both behave pretty much the same. Of course, they're both the same type of toilet.

I've been quite happy with Kohler's 1.6-gallon flush models, and they're quiet. Their basic model is listed at $210 but might be on sale this weekend...

Toto's Washlet line of toilets has an interesting website. It's sort of NSFW.

I don't find them to be the quietest toilet, but also nowhere near the loudest. In all the time we have had them, MAYBE I've had to flush twice 2 or 3 times. Usually once is quite adequate! I really, really like them. They are easy to clean and I like the elongated bowl. Ours are also ADA compliant, which wasn't a requirement for us, but they are a little taller than a standard toilet.
I found the extra $$$ for something with this much quality was well worth it. Just my humble opinion, though!!

The first thing to do is ask the neighbor who has the toilet on the other side of the wall from you if they have the same problem. If so, then complain to the association. It's their problem and they have to pay for it.
If they're fine, then you may need to check for a clog in the toilet's trap or a clogged main jet. You may have to pull the toilet, but that's cheaper then replacing it.
