Why does my Porcher toilet not flush?
Your Porcher toilet might not flush because the water supply valve is closed. In this case, open the valve and allow water to fill the tank. Another reason could be a blocked supply line; shut off the water supply, disconnect the supply line, inspect all gaskets and washers, and reassemble. Also, a flush valve chain that is too loose or disconnected can prevent flushing, so readjust the chain length as required. Finally, sand or debris lodged in the water control can cause this issue; shut off the water supply, remove the cap, and clean.
Why is my Porcher toilet flush weak?
A poor or sluggish flush in your Porcher toilet can occur for several reasons. The bowl water level might be too low; check that the refill tube is connected to the water control and inserted into the tank overflow without being kinked or damaged. The supply valve could be partly closed; open the supply valve fully and ensure that the proper supply tube size is used. A partially clogged trapway, drain pipe, or vent can also cause this; remove the obstruction, and consult a plumber if necessary. Low supply pressure (below 20 psi) can also be a factor. Lastly, a flush valve chain that is too tight, holding the flush valve open, can cause a weak flush; readjust the chain length as needed.
What to do if Porcher toilet does not shut off?

Why does my Porcher toilet fill valve turn on and off by itself?
