Hello,

My new Toto Drake has been working very well.

About a couple of months after installation, it has started to pause in between the flush and the fill of the tank - about 3-5 seconds in between.

What causes this, and can it be easily fixed ?

Thanks for any help !

Sounds like a bad fill valve or pinched supply line or loose washer in the supply shut off.

Clean or replace the "assembly cap" in the top of the fill valve
