I have a Toto Ultramax (MS853113S) round bowl. I determined the tank is not filling all the way to the fill line on the overflow tube. The water line when the tank stops filling is about 2 inches below the fill line. The consequence is that the toilet is clogging frequently, especially when my 6 year old attempts to use half a roll of toilet paper.
There is a Toto Power Gravity fill valve installed. It has a white plastic top. Is there a way to adjust it?
The manual for the toilet says my particular fill valve is not adjustable. See p. 5 in the link. Appears I have the type B in the instructions and says not adjustable. The G-Max/Power Gravity manual, on the other hand, says to twist the top half of the valve counter-clockwise to unlock the valve, lift it up to the point where the water level is correct and then turn clockwise to lock. https://www.guillens.com/Toto/pdf/GMax FV manual.pdf
I tried to twist the top of the valve, but there is not enough room to twist it far enough to get it to unlock assuming that is possible. I was concerned about breaking the valve, but maybe I am not twisting it enough to unlock?
After looking at some videos, it looks like this fill valve has one of those white locking tabs installed down at the bottom of the valve? Can this be removed to adjust the valve or do I need to replace the entire valve now?
Any suggestions to resolve the problem?
