    TOTO Water Hammer

    Hello, I recently purchased and installed a new Toto Promenade II after a bathroom update. The previous toilet was 15 y/o Mansfield. I love the Toto. However, I notice that the fill valve closes much faster than the previous toilet. Because of this, I am getting a slight water hammer (I...
