A couple weeks ago our water was out for a few hours because of maintenance in the neighborhood. When it came back on, the water level in the toilet bowl was very low and it remains that way, even if I hold the handle down when flushing (in which case the water level rises but eventually goes back down). What can I do to permanently raise the water level?

well, you should have a level line on the outside of the refill tube. This is located inside the tank itself. Make sure the water level is to that line. If not...depending on your style of refill style, there should be a screw on the top. If you have a "floating" style lift the float and see if the water rises in the tank...not the bowl> If so, this will indicate that u need to turn the screw clockwise to raise the level. This should raise the water level in the bowl.

Inside the tank there is an adjustable float. Bend the arm of it so that it floats higher, and you will have more water in the tank because it is attatched to the mechanism that controls the flow of water into your tank. Open the back up and watch while you flush. Learn by doing!

To adjust the float level in the tank you can move the "links" in the little chain that connects the float to the "stopper" (if that's the right name for it).

Adjust the float height.

Clog it. It is supposed to be that low.
