    Exactly. The shit alone is clogging the toilet and I'm getting tired of having to unclog it every time I take a shit.

    You could adjust the float so that the tank holds more water. More water= more flush

    This. Just bend/adjust the arm that holds the floaty thing.

    Give a courtesy flush about half way through, then another one when you're completely done. Problem solved.

    sure, have a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with water from the tub and use that. pour it into the bowl (on the side so it creates a swirl, not down the middle) and you're good to go.

    edit: raising the float level will only increase the flush time, not the flush power, as the hole the water dumps through is the same diameter, regardless. with the bucket, though, one can decide how much water to let loose, thereby increasing or decreasing the water flow strength.

    Increased water in the tank, increases the weight of the water above the hole. Increased pressure!

    I will grant you though, that in the volumes we are talking about, it's negligible. Haha!

    which is the whole point of my point. sewage is not a pressurized system and the mass of the water in the tank isn't enough to make an appreciable difference considering the diameter of the hole the water goes through to get to the bowl.

    My grandma always told me to flush as I go because I kept plugging her toilet.
