20 Most Recent Eljer Aqua-Saver 12" Two-Piece Pressure-Assist Toilet - 091 Questions & Answers

I have found on many occasions this problem was caused by an obstuction in the internal trap of the toilet. Everything from toothbrushes to Batman figurines have been removed from them. If you intend to do the repair yourself you can use a closet augerwhich is a manual cable snake tool that will be inserted into the bowl of the toilet and the cable ran through the toilet's internal trap to clear obstructions. You could also rent a hand held electric auger that is basically a drill with a drum attached with a drum with coiled cable inside that is shoved down the channel the same as the aforementioned product. This device take a bit of finesse and skill as the cable will try to kink and coil up as you go one can get injured doing this. If you find that the toilet is clear of internal obstructions you may have to pull the toilet up as the obstruction may be further down the line. If you rent a medium sized electric auger you can locate the vent stack for the toilet and run your cable down the vent from the roof so you may not have to pull the toilet. This method will only clear obstructions behind the vent connection and not the length from the connection of the vent to the toilet itself. If yo have an elevated house you may have access to a clean out that by most codes are at every change of direction greter or equal to ninety degrees. You also should test your water pressure if all else fails as that specific model must have at least 25 psi at the very least to operate correctly. Hope this helps you out.

As long as there is no water leaking from the tank to bowl connection, you are OK. You would know if it was leaking here, because you would have water dripping out onto the floor.

Verify that the water level in your tank is below the top of your new flush valve's overflow tube. If the water level comes to the top, it will overflow into the toilet bowl. This can be easily fixed with an adjustment to the fill valve.

If the water is not overflowing into this tube, then the only way you can lose water is through the flapper. You said you changed the flush valve, which would have come with a new flapper attached to it, but maybe buy a new flapper and see what happens???

Pressure assisted toilets have a stainless steel tank that refills under lid,if your refilling bowl it only needs to fill trap for smell,the pressure assist does the rest,thats part of the water saving of the toilet,you don't have a lot of water in the bowl

YES BECAUSE THEY HOLD LEST WATER DO TO EPA CODES

the flapper valve is a common piece to obtain and easy enough to replace..

sounds like the flapper is not seating properly

The Elger design has many small passages inside that harbor fly larve and even spiders! We just broke one in half to see where the larve were hiding. There are areas that cannot be cleaned!
Return that piece of s*** and get an American Standard.

try putting KLR or even vinegar down the tubes. also using a stiff brush and klr or vinegar, scrub the jets from inside the bowl to help remove and soften it up. your coat hanger may only be compounding the problem by packing it in harder and tighter. when you get it running again, and it is a good one, make sure and put a bowl cleaner that also softens the water. can't say brand names..... but there are several good ones.

if it came off the lever its self you conect it to the rod conected to the lever there is holes in it for that if still alached to the lever there is a stopper at the bottom of the tank it should have a little ring on the top of it to connect the chain wire to

Hello there:
i would either get a snake and have the lines snaked out or get a good quality plunger and use that if you can get it to go down i recommend before you flush it get a small trashcan and fill it with steaming hot water and pour it down the drain and if needed do it 2 or 3 times this will help release any greasy residue that may have gotten in the line than you would be good to go ok?
best regards michael

lift the lid,and look, flush, the rubber valve that opens when lever is is pulled should float, so either its very loose or broken and needs to be replaced.plz rate-bozcro

If you take the lid off the toilet there is a cartridge in the middle of the tank. if you take the handle mechanism off the toilet and get some plyers you can take the cartridge out of the tank by twisting it out. make sure the water is off and that you have pressed it down ( the part that stick out of the middle of the cartridge)to relieve the pressure. it should come right out and take it to a local plumbing supply shop and they should be able to get you a replacement part for it.

There could very well be salt buildup on the parts that could be cleaned off. Also, if the toilet is not flushed multiple times each day, algae can build up on the shaft, which you could also try cleaning off. Take a peek around the float assembly, and you should see a screw or clip that stops the piece from dropping down. Try releasing the screw or clip, and move the float down, but only a tiny bit at a time. You'll have to experiment a little, maybe moving it several times, but you'll eventually find a good spot. If none of these steps work out, let me know, and we can work from there.

You will need to adjust the chain. They are just clipped at any point when coming from the factory not at the opyimal length. It will take a little effort to find the desired length as sometimes the trick to getting the valve to remain open longer is opposite of what one would expect. I mean there is a point to where there will be more slack in the line than you might expect to get the valve to stay open for the optimal duration.
Hope this helps you.

sound like the water shut-off needs to be replaced.
if you turn on/off the shut-off, the tank get enough water to flush, then you get less water every time you use the toilet. that is the shut-off valve problem.
you may able to to just change the rubber seal.
I have not found change the seal will last as long as a new valve. better off, just change one.

Check the angle stop at the wall ( valve) if it more then a few years old the rubber inside sticks try turning it off and on a few times. Well first just make sure its open all the way to start. If both of those do not work It might have a screen at the opening of the preeure mechanism...check that the was no line trash caught in it from turning the water on and off. If none of these things work let me know and we can get more technical in find out whats wrong...heck you could have just gotten a bad one. The Plumbing company I worked for when I lived in houston had the contract with them to do there warranty work and boy did we do a lot of it .

increase the tank water level half inch at a time till you have the back flush pressure.
seems like the water in the bowl is too low to create any wirlpool.
