Slow Draining: Easy 5 Seconds Toilet Flush Test and Solving the Slow Flush Mystery

You solved my siphon issue. You're one of the most informative youtubers out there-thanks!

[@GeniusAsian]

thank you for the compliment and taking the time to share your result

[@pinsolomons]

THANK YOU for making and posting this video. Nothing was working for me, used a hanger to clean the holes under the rim, replaced all the tank hardware and did the CLR soak, twice, nothing. It was the lower flush jet that was calcified in my case, once that was dug out, I put in the drano and let it sit in the bowl 10 minutes and it's been flushing better than it ever has since. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Saved us $$$$$ for new toilets (2 of them doing the same thing at the same time).

[@GeniusAsian]

Very happy to hear your story, thank you for sharing.

[@dblue3710]

Awesome info! Thank you! My son just bought a house and the toilet takes over 20 seconds to flush and won't send his business anywhere....he thought he had to buy a whole new toilet - this fixed it!

[@igoldman]

I've checked plenty of sites on this subject. Yours was the best by far. Timing the flush is a simple but brilliant test of the power of the flush. Finding those holes feeding water into the toilet & cleaning them of sediment with a wire hanger absolutely worked. Thanks so much.

[@GeniusAsian]

Thank you for taking the time to share your results. Yes, we produce the original best solutions to a lot of problems.

[@joaquimpipa4842]

Really worked, instead of using the screwdriver, I used a 2 1/2 inch flat nail, after working it a little, I saw able to push it in all the way, felt like small rocks. I flushed it and a dark grey cloud puffed out and it flushed great, many thanks to you.

[@yesican2012]

I can not thank you enough!!! I used CLR. I taped up the holes under the toilet bowl rim, poured CLR in the overflow. And over an hour later, (got caught up with housework and forgot all about it), WHAMO! Another 5 second test graduate! Thank you! Thank you! I’m off to tackle the other bathrooms. Thank you!

[@GeniusAsian]

Thank you for reporting your success!! Go "5 second test"!!!

[@racketsaber]

Thank you. I was so confused why my toilet would refuse to finish flushing, turns out it was the siphon hole, as you showed, so I cleared the debris and now it flushes completely!

[@GeniusAsian]

thank you for taking the time to share your results

[@markvonbokern1698]

I tried snakes, chemicals, fill-valve adjustments, but nothing helped my slow-draining toilet. After watching this video, I used a screwdriver to clean out the siphon hole (looks like hard water deposits) and now it works great! Thank you Genius Asian!

[@GeniusAsian]

Yes, the snakes only work if you had main hole problem. The 5-second test can detect if it is your main hole problem. Thank you for sharing your experience and leave positive feedback, and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

[@heathermurphy1065]

Thank you! Just did this and it works great now. It never even occurred to me that these holes were clogged. Thanks for helping a single gal out! I’m learning more & more everyday to fix things by myself...no man required :)

[@Weinkamers]

Thank you!!!! We've been having slow and weak flushing issues for what feels like forever. With two careless pre-teens and two teenagers you can only imagine the horror shows that my wife and I have been discovering after unsuccessful flushes Ten minutes after watching your video both of my toilets are back to flushing strongly and quickly. You are indeed a genius, sir.

[@GeniusAsian]

Thank you for taking the time to share your result. Since my discovery of this 5-second test, this video has grown over 340k video views over the years, however not as many people have left comments, so I want to let you know that it is extremely rewarding to hear that my video helped you. And your comments will help other viewers.

This guy is amazing , couldn't figure why my toilet wasn't draining for nothing , watched several other videos , which didn't help at all . I watched the Genius Asian's video , and "BAM" fixed it . Thanks Genius Asian

[@GeniusAsian]

glad that it helped you and saved you the time and money. Yes, this video is the very first in the world that created the simple "5 Seconds Toilet Flush Test" to diagnose the problem for a toilet with siphon hole.

[@jbdeszell]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Our toilet had been flushing like crap (pun intended) for almost a year. Flush and the water would just swirl around 90% of the time. Even 2 squares of toilet paper and no other waste wouldn't flush. 10 minutes later with a few test flushes and the toilet flushes with lots of force and empties completely. Thank you sir for your tip! You saved me money on a new toilet and I didn't even have to leave the house.

[@GeniusAsian]

Thank you for sharing your story. Glad this video helped you, thank you for your subscription.

[@eviehammond9638]

Your English is remarkable -- much better than most of the people who post videos on here! And your explanations are very clear and thoughtful. I have watched a few videos like this, but this is the only one that even mentioned or showed the siphon hole! I never even knew it existed. Very helpful -- thank you! Did the video get cut off? It played the full 6:45, but it seemed that the ending might have been cut off.

[@GeniusAsian]

thank you for your nice comments, I am glad it helped you. The video is just 6:45 minutes long, I produced that video many years ago when I just started, at that time I did not have intro or ex-tro .

[@susansommer311]

As others here have said, you just saved me a ton of $$ not having to call a plumber! Thank you so much. I'd seen a bunch of articles with the usual suggestions for fixing a weak-flushing toilet, but your tip about scraping away the mineral build up in the siphon hole worked. I also cleaned the small rim jet holes. Watching your video was so helpful. Everything is working fine now. :-)

[@GeniusAsian]

Glad to help and very happy to read another viewer's success story.

[@CALLtheMECHANICS43]

You just saved me probably a couple hundred dollars. This fixed my problem. You are a genius. Thank you

Great explanation! I found the rim holes weren't clogged and tested with color water and found the main siphon was working so I didn't think it was clogged. Running this test made me realize it was. Five minutes later after cleaning it with a coat hanger, it was working as good as new. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you for sharing your result, this showed you really watched the video in very detail because you understand the 3 different holes. I am glad that my discovery of this 5-second rule really helped a lot of people and saved time and money.

[@dianne8340]

Thank you for a very informative video. I loved your explanations. I was not aware of the importance of removing the hard mineral deposits from the syphoning hole and the jet holes. You saved me several hundred dollars. Now I can pay the plumber to solve bigger plumbing issues. Thanks!

Good luck! Let us know the result.

[@RibbitHopX]

Wow, I didn't know about the siphon hole! I found out a few days ago about the jets so I bought an acid cleaner and was finally able to poke through the hard deposits. I just went to my slowest flushing toilet that always looked like it would overflow instead of flush. I cleared the siphon hole with a screwdriver and now it's 6 seconds until it gurgles :) Thank you Dr. Zhang!!!

[@GeniusAsian]

yes, it's so satisfying to hear the sound of gurgles :) Thank you for taking the time to share your result

[@houdinibat1]

Thank you for this video. I had used a toilet auger several times. checked the flapper and all the rest. Nothing was clogging the toilet, but after your video it was the siphon hole part way clogged with scale. After cleaning out toilet siphon flushed in 5 seconds, checked other toilet no scale build up in it also not used as much. Again Thank You.

[@homunculous007]

Use of the duct tape to block the rim holes was exactly what I needed to do to use muriatic acid effectively to thoroughly clean the rim channel and exit holes. The ability to retain the acid in the channel and the holes for 15 minutes or more allows much more calcium to be dissolved than simply allowing the acid to run unobstructed through the passages. I wish I knew of this technique twenty years ago. The results are terrific. Many thanks. Use a name brand duct tape because it holds much better and longer.

[@markg6860]

Sorry ... I'm not totally understanding. If you use duct tape to block the rim jet holes, then distilled white vinegar or muriatic acid to dissolve the scale, can that damage the porcelain finish?

[@GeniusAsian]

in theory, acid may damage porcelain finish. But there are no other cheap options, you may try to limit exposure time.

before you have this "the water leaves the bowl slowly" problem, was there any swirling action? Towards the end of the flush did you hear a gurgling sound?

Thank you for responding to my question! Yes-there is a very large swirl that goes down the toilet drain slowly (around 15 seconds) and gurgling sounds when the flush is complete.

[@jorgejorhoe3129]

What I did . . . Use a sponge and bucket to get all water out of the deep hole . . . Comet Soap Scum remover (previously, only used on the shower) - 2 applications, let each sit for 10 minutes, be sure to have fan running - this loosened some of the brown crusty stuff - I got my white plastic kitchen spoon (now in my toolbox, primarily dedicated to this task), used the non-spoon end, and was able to get more of the scaling, all the way up to the back, use other end of the spoon to get that, the plastic does not scratch like a hanger, or razor does . . . I thought the brown scaling was from the porcelain losing it's coating, but no, that is scaling from hard water, so, like with my water distiller, use 1 Tbsp of Sulfamic Acid dissolved in some water (4 cups, heat it on the stove), enough to fill the hole, that will de-scale the jet also . . . Now I have to try one of the enzyme based drain openers . . . Do not use a solution of lye in the toilet, besides bad for the wax ring, it doesn't need it, because it's a big hole - I use it on the tub drain (3 Tbsp in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes MAX), works great - be careful with lye, heating and cooling of glue in the ABS P-Trap can weaken the glue, that's the downside, only use as needed, not on a regular basis - only use enzyme based on a regular basis, if you want to do PM . . . Get a TubShroom stainless for the bathtub drain, raise up the lift bucket all the way to disable it

[@igotstaknow]

The rim holes are not 'jet holes'. The holes are for washing waste away from the bowl sides. The bottom hole in front of the drain hole is the 'jet hole'. It needs to be cleaned of deposits to make the toilet flush well. Removing all of the water in the bowl (not the tank) and filling the bowl with vinegar or CLR or other products do not work. You have to hand scrape the deposits out. I use a 10 gauge solid copper wire to not damage the jet wall sides. Muriatic acid might work, but I will not use it due to the danger involved. I will try to make a power tool to scrape the deposits out. If it works, owners can use it to prevent dishonest plumbers from selling/installing new toilets. My 10-year-old toilet works as good as new.

[@GeniusAsian]

Yes, I find the word "jet" confusing. Instead of saying "siphon jet hole", I would rather say "siphon hole". I find "rim holes" and "rim jet" clear, but I agree the plural form of "jet holes" could be confused with the singular form of "jet hole". Another function of the rim holes, the water jets are angled in a way to create a circular direction of flow. This vortex makes for a more effective flushing action. Yes, let us know if your power tool works. Agree if you call the plumbers, not only you have to spend more money but also it may cause more of your time calling and waiting. Thanks.

I stuck my finger up there and it felt like a piece of factory junk stuck one of the holes. i pushed it over and it moved out of the way. I flushed and it worked perfectly. I don't know where that junk went but I know what happened now.
