What's going on with my toilet?
So my toilet seems to not be flushing properly lately. Sometimes it barely flushes and sometimes it takes a few tries. It's one of the dual flush american standard models. I've tried messing with the throw distance of the buttons and even pushing it from inside the tank but it seems to not make much of a difference.
The toilet can clear a 5gal bucket almost instantly, just about as fast as I can pour it in. I've done this several times and I'm guessing there isn't a blockage. I just tried snaking it today and it doesn't seem to be clogged, it can't go into the train, as I understand there is some sort of seal there or something.
What could be wrong with my toilet? Should I bother replacing the mechanism that flushes inside the tank or just a new toilet all together. Or could it be there is some sort of partial obstruction. I'm a bit worried my kid threw a bath toy in there or something when nobody was looking. Should I remove the toilet and look? The snake didn't seem to go in that easily but it could have just been because the bend in the trap.
Ideas?
