I hate low-flow toilets!
Argh, so our lobby toilet is acting up. It's one of those newer ones that doesn't have a float arm, just the ballcock/diaphragm assembly in the bottom. It won't fill the tank all the way, so I just had to flush someone's pee using a bucket.
I fixed it by screwing with the ballcock assembly. I flushed it a few times, and it refilled somewhat adequately. Still have the "Out of Order" sign on it though. The last thing I need is for the bloody buttmeister to use if it's still compromised. I'd like to have the maintenance sup look at it before it's subjected to, ah, heavy use.
Also, it was a Navy Seabee who told me about it, and he followed me into the bathroom to help out.
BUT HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING. Jeezus, dude. It's a toilet, not rocket science. You lift the lid off, press the handle, and see what doesn't move. Make it so it does move, and voila! Your toilet is fixed.
