Hmm, I didnt think about it, but I suspect the problem was that the bowl size was so large compared to the flushing power. The load wasnt even that big.

But maybe a good tip to remember

hmm, even if pressure is low a toilet should flush properly unless there is a calcium/lime build up

the pot trick should have worked but maybe you needed more water to find the right flow, usually a 9L bucket will do

The pot was pretty the biggest I could find but maybe 3-4l. The second pot was even smaller.

I think a part of the problem was the rusty and stuck flush button. I pushes in a clunky way so the water is released in sort of smaller chunks

Maybe it could have done bette by looking for even bigger pot, but its over now.

next time open the water tank and pull up the "seal" thingy manually, that way the water comes down with full force, or was it one of those toilets with the water tank near the ceiling?

I have an idea that it has to do with the chain in the tank.

And the other that the bowl needs to get unclogged.

At least now you might be better prepared if you ever go back.
