I have a Gerber Ultra Flush (#21-302) that is ~12 years old. It is beginning to show symptoms of a flushing problem. Oftentimes, the first flush makes a lot of noise and moves a little water, but is not sufficient to do the job. A second flush is required after letting the system recharge. It appears that this happens most often after a long layover between flushes, as if it is "losing its charge". If the toilet is used once and then used again after a few minutes, this problem does not occur (i.e., only 1 flush is needed).
Questions: (a) How long should I expect this type of toilet to last? (b) Is it possible to guess what might be the problem? Any suggestions on how to further diagnose? (c) Can I perform the fix myself?
Thanks,
Scott
