My parents had a new kit installed in their toilet tank to keep it from running pretty much constantly. This kit was installed by a plumber. However, it still seems to be running ALL the time. I looked at it and the flapper appears to be fine. Looks like it is seated and water is not running from the rubber tube into the pipe adjacent to the flapper, so I don't think it's running out under the flapper, causing the tank to refill constantly. It's not clear where the water is coming from - in fact, it sounds like it could be air as opposed to water. On the "tube" that the float is attached to, down below the float where it can't really be seen, is a piece of plastic which seems like it should be there to cover a seam or something like that but I can easily move it up and down with my hand. Could this be the cause or maybe water is actually leaking out under the tube the float sits on. It doesn't feel like I can tighten the tube by hand, but I didn't want to break anything. They don't want to have the plumber come back, as we don't trust him based on this and other issues. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. |
