I'm dealing with a toilet that has a watersaver type flush valve in which the flush handle connects directly to the overflow pipe and lifts the entire mechanism to flush.
This has worked without trouble for many years, but now every so often the valve fails to seal off after a flush. I'll come back five minutes after flushing to find the water still running and the tank not filling.
This doesn't happen every flush...there may be days of normal flushes between these incidents. But it's annoying to have to monitor the toilet after every flush to make sure it's shutting off properly.
The valve doesn't seem to leak when the mechanism is properly seated. There's no water running into the bowl when the toilet is not in use.
Is there any way to correct this problem without having to replace the whole valve (and thus take the toilet apart)?
