    There are a couple of products that add bowl cleaning chemicals to the water that goes down the overflow to refill the bowl. One of those might solve your problem without the damage to tank parts.

    A higher water level, whether in a one-piece or two-piece model, provides higher head pressure, which means greater flushing power. However, all of the major improvements in low-flow toilet design:...
