How do you fill a toilet drain not in use?
You can't fill a toilet drain not in use as there is no 'trap' to fill with water. The best thing is to get a toilet flange cover from a plumbing store and install it on the toilet flange - i.e. the circular fitting in the floor that the toilet would normally sit on.By simple pouring a few gallons of cold water to replenish the trap seal of the fixture .. check it every few weeks to make sure there is still water above the crown weir
How do you plunge a toilet?
Shove the plunger into the toilet and go to town. The key is to get a seal between the plunger and the toilet bowl around the exit area. This is what will hopefully allow you to 'move' the water and shift whatever is blocking the pipes. It helps to have enough "water" in the toilet to cover the plunger base. This may involve taking the scary risk of flushing the toilet, but without enough liquid in the toilet, you're apt to make a big splash.
What causes a toilet to whistle constantly and the only thing that stops it for a while is flushing it?
I'm no plumber, but it sounds like there may be air trapped in the lines. If you really want to know, make an appointment for a plumber to check it out.

Why does the toilet keep flushing at all hours of the day and night when not in use?
The problem here is one of two problems, or both, depending on the installation of your toilet. One. The flushing rubber inside the toilet cystern on the bottom is now old and perishing and needs to be replaced. Two. Certain toilet cystern installations allow for the inlet over flow to flow into the pan of the toilet and not to the outside, thus causing the toilet to seem as though its constantly flushing, this also has a rubber inside of it and needs to be replaced. Check and make sure that the handle of the toilet is not sticky, it has been known that a sticky toilet handle (probably because the back nut is too tight) wont go down, therefore not allowing the flushing rubber to go back onto its seat to stop the water running into the pan.
Does flushing a toilet with the lid up cause a plume of bacteria to be shot into the air?
Unfortunately, yes, it does. The water holds all the bacteria from all the buissness that people make on your toilet. So it is better to close the toilet seat when you flush!
Why is Archie Bunker's toilet so loud?
To make people ask questions about it! Actually a toilet flushing on TV is called comic effect. We generally don't expect to hear a flushing toilet on TV, but then we never expected to hear 90% of the remarks that came out of Archie's mouth either! Some might even call it all "potty humor" so the flushing and the yapping were one and the same.
How did the toilet come to be?
The flushing of the toilet actually started in Tudor times. When Queen Elizabeth 1 was on the throne. Her cousin in law was a inventor and he had been banished from the city for a reason I'm unsure of. The cousin asked the queen whether she could come over to look at his new invention the FLUSHING toilet. She went round and was so impressed with his new working invention that she asked him to make lots more for her to put in the castle, and that is how the toilet came to be... TRUE!
What causes an unclogged toilet to not refill the bowl after flushing?
Check the tank and make sure it's full. Check the flapper and make sure it moves enough to drain the tank into the bowl.
