Poor draining toilet checklist
1. Is the toilet plugged or partially plugged. I have removqed toothbrushes, combs, toys etc. from toilet traps so check for any obstructions.
2. Rust and scale buildup. The buildup of rust , sediment and or scale in the internal passages of a toilet can greatly affect their performance.clean the small holes under the rim with a small piece of wire. Use Limeaway or CLR to remove rust and scale. put some in the tank and flush toilet. Let sit for a while and repeat.
3. Improper venting or plugged vent. A toilet needs a properly vented drain to work correctly. Check the vent to make sure it is not plugged or in the northern climates frosted shut.
4. Mechanical issues. Is the flapper lifting high enough when flush lever is flipped. Is water at correct height in tank. If it is a pressure assist is water pressure high enough. Is pressure tank waterlogged.
These are just afew of the many things that can cause a poor flushing toilet. Hope this helps.
