The answer to 'why is my water line won't flush' is that there could be a blockage or obstruction in the water line preventing proper flushing. This could be caused by a buildup of debris, mineral deposits, or a physical obstruction like a tree root. Symptoms may include slow draining, gurgling sounds, or complete loss of water pressure.
