Just installed a new Kohler Cimarron toilet in a rennovated bathroom. When I flush it seems as though both the tank and bowl fill but then once the tank is done and shuts off the bowl starts to drain and I hear water trickling until the bowl is almost empty. Anyone able to offer a suggestion as to what's happening?
thanks Ian
Does the toilet have an air vent?
Possible vacuum?
If all (or almost all) of the water drains out, there may be a crack/flaw in the bowl and the water is just leaking out. Slowly pour water in the bowl until a normal water level is attained. If the water level drops, there is a problem with the bowl. If the water level stays the same then you have a vent problem.
Not necessarily. The crack could be in the innards. In other words it drains into the pipe. Anything is possible, but I suspect the siphoning as I and others mentioned before.
Put some food coloring in the tank to see where its going.
