hey guys... It's me again. Thanks so much for all your previous help. So everything was good with my toilet for about a month and now the handle sticks. Meaning once you flush it, sometimes I have to physically pull the handle back up so it stops running. I am having to do it more often than...

Not much change from first hour to second hour.

It's been off for about an hour and 10 minutes and it's gone down quite a bit.

Hi guys. I had a friend replace the flush valve. So now I have a brand new fill valve and a brand-new flush valve but I am still getting gushes of water multiple times throughout the day.... Not nearly as much as before though. Is this normal? What how should I look at? It is not the refill tube.

That's what I was afraid of. I was hoping I could fix it myself. Thanks for all of the information!

I think I may have found the problem. The part that the flapper goes onto appears to be broken... Uneven, which I'm assuming would cause a pretty big leak in the water. I've attached the picture. what is this / called and does the whole tank have to come off to replace it?

the refill tube is longer than the past one so I brought it up and put it on the old clip but still had the same issue with the water running

I did that yesterday. It went down at least an inch

Me!

Ok, I will try these things. The chain is not too tight. I even unhooked it and still have the same problem. I will also look up the flush valve kit you suggested. We definitely could use a new toilet, but we rent and I'm sure replacing the whole toilet is not top on his list.

The hose goes a lot farther down the overflow, the last one was held on by a clip. I have tried pulling it up and just placing it on that clip without the lid on but I still get the gushes of water. Yesterday when I turned the water off the tank definitely lost some water. You can see it...

My toilet was running occasionally so someone installed a new fluidmaster fill valve and flapper and now it runs almost constantly. Every five minutes there's a gush of water and it's constantly trickling into the bowl. with the research I've done it makes sense that it would be the flapper but...
