Toilet Takes More Than One Flush To Empty

Acceptable Performance/Condition
Toilets (water closets) shall flush waste into the drainage system.

Warranty
One -Year Work and Materials
Drain restrictions due to improper maintenance are excluded from the warranty.

Action
Where defective installation or product is determined repairs shall be made.

Remarks
Newer low-volume toilets use less water to flush waste than older models, making their operation more sensitive to the effects of the:

• amount of waste
• amount of paper
• volume of water in the tank

As a result, multiple flushes may be required.
