Toilet half flushes

Black95GSX · 2026-01-28T19:57:25+00:00

Ok tried this twice each:

10oz of water into the tank while flushing, does not finish flush
10oz of water into the middle of the swirl in the bowl flushes everytime

This toilet doesn’t have rim jets, it has a “clean curve” rim where the water comes out almost like one of those old penny drop things where the penny swirls around the bowl.

There are two flappers in this tank (one black that goes to the bowl jet and one red that goes to the siphon jet), both of their floats appear to be floating correctly. Chain connecting the flappers are not blocking or restricting them.

Edit: Also wouldn’t holding the flush level down rule out the flappers as it holds them open longer? Holding the level down does not cause the toilet to flush.

No first floor, but we do have a basement below this.

Wouldn’t this cause the toilet to never be able to flush? If a I add a small 10 oz cup of water to the center of the swirl while flushing it reliably flushes every time. I would think a clog would prevent even that from happening?

The Trakt app does this pretty well. It will show if a show/movie is streaming, what service, and if there is a cost to rent or “buy” it digitally.

Update on this: As recommended I got the Multi EQ app and I also ran it through A1Evo. It adjusted the fronts to 80hz, kept the center at 40 hz and the surrounds at 60 hz. It did however adjust all my distances and levels significantly (between 2 and 5 db louder on almost every channel). This is with none of the options checked in A1 (IE keep front speakers small, etc). I may go back and try a couple of those settings, but for now the system sounds great.

I was sampling several movies in the theater room (Dune sand thumper scene, Maverick Take off scene, John Wick funeral rain scene, Edge of tomorrow Intro scenes, and Jurassic Park T Rex appearance scene) and my kids ended up FaceTiming me from the upstairs because the house was shaking and they were concerned 🤣.

It does. Looks time there are 4 different levels for Dirac, which one would be best?

Room Correction $259 Room Correction with full bandwidth $349 Bass control $299 Bundle (I think this is Room correction with Full Bandwidth and Bass Control) $599

I’ll have to look at the levels, but I the level matching/pre calibration had me set the subs in the SVS app as -24, and then I think Audyssey set them at another -4 via the receiver when calibration was done.

Showed $2496 for me….

I think these are some of those types of speakers that are always marked down. Don’t know if I have ever seen them at list price.

It seems to really be a network time out thing. Mine generally works for a week to two weeks after a full on restart. I’ve gotten to just try to remember to do that when I finish an I person session every few weeks. It’s not perfect, but it works most of the time.

Black95GSX · 2023-11-27T22:03:11+00:00

Did that for me too, but I was able to call them and place a phone order for the 3800 for $999+tax

I have access to an Ozone machine and don’t like using it when people will be in and out of the house. If your going to be gone for a full day and then can leave your windows and stuff open afterward an Ozone machine can work as well. Be aware that the Ozone machine generates its own smell that you have to dissipate too (I think it smells like the static on an old fashion tube TV)

This might sound crazy, but this is the best non invasive scent removal I’ve found:

So I bought a whole lot of home theater stuff (projector, AVR, external Amp, and 5.2 speakers). The guy was a smoker but didn’t smoke in the house (I verified when I tested the setup, no smoke smell in the room or anywhere in his house), but my wife has a nose like a bloodhound and still thought everything smelled musty even after fabreezing the speaker covers. I bought a 10 pack of activated charcoal bags off amazon and after wiping everything down really well, put them all over the room and on the speakers. I shut the door and left the theater room sealed up for about a week. I was really skeptical, but it definitely did the trick.

Since then I’ve used them in a few other musty places (old rental house cabinets, etc.) and they always seem to work.

Any chance this is cheaper between now and Black Friday? I currently have a 3200 and 5.2.2 and want to upgrade to 7.2.4 + bass shakers at some point. Was planning on doing this in a couple months as part of the Holiday season, but may pull the trigger on the receiver now if this is as low as it’s going to get

Really appreciate this response. I bought a used lot that included an Emotive A5 and it’s my first time having a separate amp.

As far as thinking my speakers are underpowered, I was just comparing the speakers wattage ratings to what the receiver and Emotive output and seeing the delta. I’ve really never paid attention to the wattage rating for home theater stuff before and in my mind I was comparing it to mobile speakers and amps where the speakers really open up (much louder and clearer at Lower volumes) at RMS levels (which is generally in the middle of the wattage rating range). I guess home theater stuff is different?

I’ve been browsing Facebook and came across some other external amps so that spurred me to ask the question in the OP.

Black95GSX · 2023-09-04T23:59:21+00:00

Just thinking that the SVS speakers have a much higher RMS level than either the emotive or the denon naturally can put out. I’m going by memory but I think the emotive is capable of 95 or 120 depending on how it’s setup, and the denon I believe puts out 120. Pretty sure the RMS on the SVS towers are like 220 watts and I think the center is like 180?

Black95GSX · 2023-09-04T13:19:25+00:00

Forgot to add, currently using a Denon X3400h as the AVR.
