[quote Wailer]3) When the toilet is working fine and I flush it, the flapper only stays open for about 2 seconds and the amount of water going in is about 25% of what is in the tank before the flapper shuts. Is all the water in the tank supposed to go into the bowl? Pardon the pun, but it seems like a crappy flush.
You might have Kohler's version of a dual-flush toilet. A "#1" flush (~0.8gal?? - a quick press of the handle) is designed to change out the liquid in the bowl, whereas a "#2" flush (1.6gal - press and hold the handle for a few seconds) empties any solids.
You can tell if you have the dual-flush tech by looking in the tank and seeing if you have little float attached between the flapper and the lever arm (mine is a blue foam cylinder).
