SOURCE: my super new eco toilet splashes me in the face.

This sounds like a pressure-assisted toilet, yes?

If so, there is a pressure regulator inside the tank that my or may not be adjustable. Some are set for about 30 psi, but some manufactuers make a lower pressure model set to about 20 psi. I'm pretty sure you will need to remove the pressure assist assembly to access the regulator, which is inside the tank. If possible contact the supplier where you purcased the toliet, explain what's happening, and ask them what possible options you have for your model.

SOURCE: Mansfield 160 extremely difficult to make it flush

If this is the model am thinking it is, you need to replace the flapper. it goes down in open to far and gets bound.Or if you have hard water or calciaum buildup,it is making for a tighter opening. I hope this helps. :)

SOURCE: Have Mansfield #160 and hear a fog horn like sound

Are your wast water pipes in your house vented through the roof? If they are maybe the vent pipe is clogged. At my father in-laws house the pipes are not vented through the roof like their supposed to be to vent sewer gas. they are not vented at all. Every time you flush it sounds like someone is downs stairs screaming. Something to do with air/ suction in the pipes.

SOURCE: My past and now New currant mansfield toilet bowls

If you are working with a plumber that can't answer your question, than what kind of help do you think you will get here. Not much of a plumber if you ask me, if you had problems with your first Mansfield why on earth would you purchase another, and use the same plumber??? I put a Kohler in, when I put a addition on my house and it's been working over TEN years without question and did not need a plumber to install. Take the thing back where you purchased it and exchange for an Eljer or Kohler and do not consult that braincell of a plumber, I would do it myself it's not hard go to you tube and teach yourself there are thousands of tutorials out there for doing just this DIY project.

SOURCE: My Mansfield toilet flushes but

Check the water level int he tank for it coming up to fill line in tank. Make sure the 1/4 " fill line from the fill valve is connected and in the stand pipe tube to allow water to fill bowl. Fluid master makes a flapper that has adjustments on it to increase or decrease water used to flush. It has a dial to move on it this would be another option if the above tried doesn't help.

Thansk and I hope this will help you with this problem.

Not sure about your brand but many toilets have a flapper valve inside the tank which needs adjusting or replacing. Try this U tube link

Toilet runs slightly, can minimally depress the handle to release a bit of water, and it will stop. How to fix?

Toilet runs continuously or doesn't flush adequately

Jiggling the handle might work for a while, but if your toilet is always running or doesn't flush adequately, you need to perform these simple fixes that usually can tame a noisy, inefficient toilet.

Check the Chain

The chain attached to the rubber flapper often becomes loose, causing incomplete flushing and/or continuous running. To fix it, remove links from the chain using needle-nosed pliers until it's tight.

Check Water Level

Improper water levels can also cause problems with your toilet. This can be fixed by adjusting the ball ****, which is located next to the overflow pipe, the open tube to the right of the handle. Adjust the ball **** so the water comes to ½ " below the overflow pipe.

Clean the Surface of the Flush Valve

A continuously running toilet can also be the result of a faulty flush valve. Because the valve is made of rubber, it can decompose or warp allowing water to escape from the tank into the bowl. Clean the sealing surface to see if this will improve the seal. If too decomposed or warped the valve may need to be replaced.

Replace the Flapper

Remove old flapper and replace with a suitable replacement. Attach the flapper to the overflow pipe inside the bowl. Then attach the lever chain from the flapper to the handle lever making sure the chain is taut.

I have a 6 month old Kohler toilet that has a very loose flush mechanism handle- how do I tighten it?

Toilet flush levers are always adjustable. For the most part, there are two types of chains that attach to the lever. Ball chain or linked chain. Either way, you'll see that there is a rod behind the toilet handle lever. That rod has many holes. Re attach the chain to the proper hole on the rod that makes the chain taut and not loose. Hope this helps!

I cannot get the bolts to seat correctly and the tank leaks

You have a Broken Flange.

Not a hard fix, There is a repair kit.
Don't get the Half Flange repair kit... Get the Complete hole metal flange repair kit, install and also replace the wax ring and your back in business.

Hope this tip helps.

My toilet handel is broke.how ican install

Remove the water cover lid then remove the chain connector at the handle looks like a diaper pin then unscrew the nut holding the handle in place and feed the handle assembly threw the nut and buy new handle assembly and replace. IF it's just the chain is broke replace the chain they are sold separately at any hardware store. IF it's the valve you can replace it as well by shutting off the toilet water valve, next disconnect the hose and go buy a float assembly that is similar. Adjust the new float assembly to be the same length as the old one then install gasket on the float and put in the hole for the float, install second gasket on the float on the outside and then install the nut and install the hose. Before you tighten the nut on the float make sure the float valve lines up with the handle and the float then tighten down hook up new chain and tighten the water hose, tighten the nut on the float and open the water valve. Watch the water level fill up if it looks like it's going to run over you will have to adjust the float so that it does not run into the throat of the toilet.

The flush valve gasket is leaking so the toilet water runs periodically

You prbably just need a new flapper valve. Buy one at Home Depot for a few bucks and it will, simply, snap into place at the base of the tank. Also, make sure that the chain is not too tight and cut off any excess chain after the flapper is installed.

The flap goes down too quickly

Just a thought, you might try to get a piece of chain at a hardware store and do it yourself.....might cost $3, maybe less. There is also a screw on the top of the lever the chain and float are attached to, you can loosen or tight it to change the way the toilet flushes.

The toilet sometimes will continue to run after flushing

the chain should have some slack to it being too tight it dose let the flapper sit properly so itll keep running because water is escaping
