Adjusting a ball float: The process does not require turning off the water valve or draining the tank. You can elevate the ball float by turning the screw above the fill valve. Raising the float should raise the water level and hopefully solve your water pressure problem.
With the water still on and the tank full, the ball float height is adjusted by turning a screw at the top of the fill valve. This adjusts the tension in the arm and raises the float to in turn raise the water level. Flush the toilet and monitor the water pressure.
To increase toilet flush power, you can adjust the water level in the tank to 1/2 inch below the flush valve. Adjust the chain length to 1/4 inch of slack. Get an adjustable flap. Increase the water level in the bowl to the maximum height. Clean the rim holes with white vinegar. Check out more home improvement tips on.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to convert a low-flow toilet to a high-flow or pressure-assisted toilet. The only option is to replace a gravity-flush toilet with a pressure-assisted flush toilet.
The easiest way to fix a slow draining toilet is to unplug the tank and take it off, then clean out the pipe. If this does not work, you may need to replace the flush valve in your toilet. You will want to turn off your water supply before you begin. There should be a valve in the wall behind the toilet.

TOTO Ultramax II ( Strongest flush) : This toilet features TOTO's proprietary Double Cyclone flushing system that uses two powerful nozzles to create a centrifugal, cyclonic rinsing action, resulting in a strong and efficient flush.
Can I Install Flushmate® in my existing toilet? No! FLUSHMATE cannot be retrofitted to an existing gravity bowl.
Can an existing flushing mechanism be converted to low-flush without changing the toilet? No. It's best, easiest, and least invasive to limit the amount of water used for a flush. Messing with the flush valve can ruin the toilet's overall performance.
It is quite common for minerals such as calcium and lime, along with debris particles such as rust to build up in the rim feed and jet holes of the toilet bowl. Over time, these deposits restrict and block water from flowing into the toilet bowl which will cause a weak or incomplete flush.
Faulty Float Mechanism
The float controls the water level in the toilet tank. If the float is damaged, set too low, or obstructed, the tank won't refill with enough water to produce a powerful flush.
When it comes to strength of flushing, pressure-assist designs are stronger than gravity flush mechanisms, but slightly less powerful than vacuum-assist ones. The design is similar to that of the vacuum-assist toilet, which makes use of a pressurized tank that functions like a huge water balloon.
Here's how to address PRV issues: Locate the PRV, usually near the main water shut-off valve. Look for an adjustment screw on top of the valve. To increase pressure, turn the screw clockwise.
Adjust the Float Rod
With the toilet tank empty, bend the float rod up to increase the water fill level in the tank or bend it down to lower the fill level.
While true gravity tank toilets will operate at water pressures of only 10 - 15 psi, pressure- assist tank and flushometer toilets usually require 25 - 40 psi and, sometimes, even more. This is the pressure at the toilet, not the pressure coming into the building.
A pressure-assisted toilet—also known as a power flush toilet—contains a sealed pressure tank that houses air and water. The vessel traps air, and as it fills with water, it uses the water supply line pressure to compress the trapped air inside.
86 percent of Americans say a clogged toilet negatively impacts their perception of a business, and maintenance staff spends untold hours unclogging them. Pressure-assisted toilets are much less likely to clog, because they exert far higher water delivery force on solid waste than ordinary gravity toilets.
Our whisper-quiet American Standard Champion toilet is virtually clog-free and so powerful it can clear a bucket of golf balls in a single flush.
Clear any blockages with a wire hanger or vinegar. Ensure the tank's water level is high enough to provide adequate flushing pressure. If your toilet has an adjustable flush valve, experiment with the settings to increase the flush strength. Replace the flapper valve if it's old or damaged.
