Hi,
Probably a month or so ago my toilet began taking a long time to fill up (it now seems to take 20 or so minutes). This isn't due to the flapper sticking or being hung up by the chain which could be corrected with a quick jiggle of the handle. I have also inspected the valve for obstructions and pressed down to make sure it was seating.
A strong water flow enters the overflow tube from the refill tube (which is seated on top of the tube and not into the tube). The bowl fills up (hits the normal water level in the bowl) within 5-7 seconds, but as the water continues to flow into the overflow tube it does not fill the tank?
If I pull the refill tube off the overflow tube and direct the water into the tank, it takes about 40 seconds to fill. Once the water reaches the proper water level in the tank, the shutoff valve will close off the water entering the refill tube.
Any suggestions why the tank will not fill?
