It's very strange, when i flush it normally, with nothing in the bowl, the water drains, then comes back a bit, then drains.
It's driving me nuts.
The old toilet in the basement is an old american standard and it could swallow a brick. This one, a kohler, is an expensive P.O.S.
I didn't buy the hard water line either, it's city water from lake ontario. Mind you, after a winter, my furnace de-humidifier (! must shut off that thing) usually has a 1/4" of lime in the bottom of the pan.

We have an extreme mineral problem too! You can leave a hell of a leak and it will heal itself in a day or two. When you took the toilet loose from the floor did you check the bottom of the toilet? I finally gave up and went and bought a new one a while back for our bathroom - When I took it loose it was criss-crossed by hundreds of q-tips (women! ya' gotta' love em! right?).
