Why does it take two or three flushes to go down

I've found that front rim jets are plugged or partially blocked.Take top of of valve, separate the body from tube and remove vacuum breaker and put valve and tube back together and carefully pour calci-solve thru top of valve body. Do not get on floor or outside of valve body. I've stopped using the 2.5 gallon flush and went back to 3.5 gallon flush I've han no more problems. It takes more water flushing it twice or three times that the 3.5 gallon repair kit.

If you change the tranny oil this video will show you how to change the filter.">

yes , You can adjust it ...

There are only three things to flush down a toilet.. Number one,, Number two and toilet paper.
That is it ! I don't think you need to hear all the things I have pulled out of sewage ejector pits
in my day..

Personal wipes and feminine hygene products are examples of what not to flush down the toilet.

Hope this helps !

Sounds like you have a clogged drainline or vent-stack. Fill a large bucket with about three gallons of water and dump it quickly into the bowl. If the drainline/vent is clear, the toilet will "flush" like a gravity toilet and the water will drain from the bowl almost as fast as you can pour it in.

If the water level in the bowl slowly rises (as if it's about to overflow) and then slowly drains, you have a clog somewhere.

All toilets, regardless of their flushing mechanism, require a clear, unoibstructed drain/waste/vent system to extract waste.

If the toilet "flushes" with the bucket of water, you may want to call Flushmate tech support (the number is on top of the tank) or check out the installation and troubleshooting videos at howto.flushmate.com.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
The round thing in the center that the metal rod pushes down on can be turned...turning it counterclockwise will make it higher and get you flushing...
It may take a bit but you can get it adjusted so that it will flush everytime..

If it was mine, I wouldn't attempt to start it until after a complete tear-down of (at least) the engine. Fluids need to be flushed and replenished with fresh. Three hours is long enough to soak about everything.

There's a lot of variety in the works in the toilet tank. Assuming this is not a pressure-assisted toilet-----First understand the three valves are: 1. The shutoff valve - on the supply line coming into the toilet tank. 2. The fill valve - inside the tank, opens with the float descends, closes when the tank fills up. 3. The flush valve - inside the tank on the bottom. Common old style is a flapper on a pivot. Yours may operate straight up and down rather than on a pivot.
Three very common problems are---- 1. The chain that connects the handle to lift the flush valve is getting caught, not allowing the flush valve to close. 2. There is problem with the flush valve being able to get a good seal when it closes - could be debris or misalignment. 3. The fill valve is not closing when the tank is full, could need adjustment or there is debris preventing the valve to seat. . Here's are some steps to diagnose---- close the shutoff valve. Wait a few minutes as you watch the level in the tank. If the water level decreases, you have problem with the flush valve. To confirm the fill valve as the problem, turn the shutoff valve back on. Lift up on the float that is supposed to turn off the fill valve. If it shuts off, you should be able to adjust it - most have a +/- plastic adjustment screw. But if raising the float by hand only slows it down, you have problem with the seating of the fill valve - which can sometimes be cleaned, but more often would need to be replaced.
I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using FixYa.

in the tank check that the small white hose is not kinked or has fallen away from the center tube where the flush flapper is located the white hose goes into the center and fills the bowl

Possibly a drainage problem. Flush 2 at a time and if they are slower yet then you have a drainage issue. If not get back to me and I will try to be of futher assistance.
Good Luck
