Understanding how a toilet flushes makes every repair easier. Here is the simple Miami Gardens guide.
The tank and bowl
The tank holds the water that rushes into the bowl, and the siphon action in the bowl's trap pulls the waste down the drain.
The flush
Lifting the flapper releases the tank water, which pushes through the rim and starts the siphon.
The refill
As the bowl refills through the refill tube, the fill valve tops up the tank and shuts off.
Why it matters
Most toilet problems trace to one of these parts — the flapper, the fill valve, or the siphon jet.
