It sounds to me like this might be the case and your downstairs toilet has been replaced at some point. Without replacing them getting your tank as full as possible is your only other solution. Your water pressure for the flush comes from the tank - water pressure from the main plumbing fills the tank - and you're most likely at the mercy of it's capacity. They have come out with some new low flow toilets that have "jet action" and some others that are more efficient. I just remodeled our downstairs bath and installed a new toilet that will flush a dead cat. It's great!! Pashooooosh!!!

No matter how Fast the tank fills, it will only have as much water as it holds. Try raising the water line in your tank. Most have 2 fill lines, bend (gently) the float arm up a little to set it to just below the overfill pipe. Unfortunately for us, they changed the design of standard tanks some Time ago for water conservation. Believe it or not, people were putting bricks etc. in their tanks to "spoof" the toilet into thinking it was full The older toilets are Wonderful. Without the bricks (:> I myself am looking for a New Old Stock Supply house. Some people were lucky enough to buy out stores that were going out of business several years ago, car parts, plumbing supplies, well, anything you can think of. They call these parts etc. NOS. Good Luck with it! RT Water pressure won`t have anything to do with it.
