Hi everyone,
It's my first post here, I don't know much about toilets but have to researching the parts of toilets and how they work the last couple days.
My toilet has been constantly running for the last about 2 years. I think it's recently been causing the toilet to sweat a lot so I want to fix it. It runs because the water keeps filling above the overflow tube.
I'm posting a picture of the toilet tank here. I was holding the handle down to see more clearly where the water comes into the tank from and figure out what is supposed to stop the water when the water rises enough. I saw it comes out from the two sides of the "fill valve"? (like one side shooting right into the wall/dark corner and the other side shooting towards the corner where the handle is attached except near the bottom of the tank)
But I couldn't figure out what the mechanism for stopping the water is. Is my toilet missing a part? It looked different to me from the pictures I've been seeing on the internet.
Please help,
Thanks!
