  What mechanism?
  I know how to fix the stuff in the tank, and that’s all working properly afaict.

    thanks for your patience, i had to look it up some jargon because i wasn’t sure. it’s a niagara flapperless toilet. tip-bucket style. rather than have a full tank all the time, there’s a bucket of full water sitting 2/3 up the tank. you turn the handle, it dumps the the bucket. the flapper gets removed. saves a shitton of water. the force of the bucket of water moves the turds. I was pleasantly surprised it actually works.

      That sounds like a great invention that my toilet unfortunately doesn’t have - and although I know how the mechanisms in my toilet work I’m unfortunately not enough of an experience to retrofit something like that in lol

      But it’s something I’ll keep an eye out for when I eventually buy a house, assuming that ever happens lol
