hello everyone,hope your keeping busy.
can someone please recomend a powerful dual flush valve.
I`m fed up with unblocking toilets in my own home,funny thing is I never block them,its wife and daughter ! even after extensive instruction in how to flush a toilet. so maybe a stronger flush would help.

I have adjusted the float valve to gain a maximum cistern full.

Can you adjust the fill valve to put more water in the cistern? If this works it saves buying a new siphon.
 
If you keep having to unblock the toilet then maybe the next thing to look at is the drain inspection chamber?
 
How do you decrease the power with which a toilet flushes? Lower the fill level by adjusting the height of the ball? There's a toilet at work where the flush is so powerful it makes the seat wet.
 
the problems not the flush, as this is just volume/-gravity, its the extraction.
you can change the toilet for less restricted pan trap where the older pots are supreme for this. i have a 1950s hotel one and if you put your arm in there when flushing, next you know it you will be surfing the north sea.
check the soil line and stack for tight bends, the time it takes for the cistern to empty over volume, calculate it all then call arrmitage for a solution.
