We purchased a new Jacuzzi Pefecta ($135) toilet from Lowes back in January for our half bath. Several months ago I noticed the hardwood around the front of the toilet buckling a bit.
Last month we took out the toilet and replaced the wax ring with a larger one as the original as it didn't look like it was sealing anything. After that, it seemed tight, everything was touching.
Now I noticed more buckling in areas surrounding the toilet and the water in the bowl (not tank) lowering throughout the day.
Could there be something else wrong with the toilet? I read somewhere that having a hairline crack could be a possibility or defect with the toilet.
I don't know what else could be wrong here. One other separate issue....whenever you flush the toilet, there's a long "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssssssss" sound as the tank fills, which seems to take forever. We've made adjustments but still makes that sound for a long time.
Please advise.
Thanks!
