I have a 4 yr old house with three gerber 28-790 toilets. On one of them, the fill valve keeps filling the tank intermittently even when the float raises. I assume the valve requires new washers. ANYWAY...when this happens, the tank fills until the water goes down the overflow tube, but then the tank keeps slowly filling. It seems that it fills faster then the overflow tube can get rid of the extra water. ON my upstairs bathroom, it overflowed the tank. Fortunately I discovered it before it made much of a mess. I then tested my other toilets by holding down the float to see what happens and they all overflow the tank!
Isn't the overflow tube supposed to prevent this in the event that the float or valve does not do its job?
