The toilet flushes and fills OK, but doesn't have the flushing power to remove toilet paper, let alone other waste. We've had the pipes cleaned out, so the problem is with the toilet, which is now 15 years old, but was a top of the line one-piece Kohler when purchased.
We needed a new fill valve for our San Raphael but learned that kohler got rid of the supplier. We tried a valve from Lowes that was close but failed to properly wash the bowl from the new entering water and did not fill the bowl full enough. We put up with this for several months, with smells and having to clean the bowl with a brush daily until we found the following source for the proper valve. We installed this and it is wonderful. It replaces the water when flushed by streaming it from around the top of the bowl to clean it and is easily adjustable to fill the bowl with a LOT of water. I strongly recommend people with SR toilets use this. My wife and I replaced the valve in 20 minutes. Instead of watching TV tonight we may just set up some chairs and flush the toilet and watch the surge of water!

Don't flush more water! Trash the toilet and replace it with a toilet that uses less water and flushes efficiently; practically every manufacturer makes a dual flush or eco model. Spend your money on a good toilet rather than paying for and wasting water every day.
Hi

Good idea! But there are holes in the back wall of the tank that prevent any more water from getting into the tank.
