Punked - toilet water inlet piping

[Snorp]

Good evening to all. You've been very helpful in the past and I'm very grateful for your help.

i have a two level townhouse with an old Jaczzi 'double flush' toilet on the second floor- water and solid. The resupply of water after a flush is very weak and slow - Very. The quarter turn valve at the wall is turned to be fully open. So, I need to find where the water is turned off. I suspect it may be under the sink in the kitchen on the first floor but that doesn't Seem to be the case. I've looked in the water heater/hvac closet where the inlet to the house is but, to me, everything seems to be open.

The 'prankster' who mucked this up is the one suffering from the situation. So, it's not all gloom around here.

All replies and comments will be greatly appreciated.

With my regards,

Snorp

How is the flow for cold in the lavatory and tub?

Thanks for the question Reach4.

Both the tub and sink have very good cold/hot water flow.

To all:

I should have noted in my original post, that the valves under the kitchen sink are essentially 'frozen'. But, that shouldn't matter as far as I can see there are only a hot and a cold inlet and no goesouttas.

The cold to the bathroom is supplying plenty of water. Your slow fill is something after the toilet water splits off. I do not think there is an extra valve in series with just the toilet supply in addition to the one at the wall.

I suspect the problem is in the fill valve to the toilet. That is more probable than the stop valve or supply line. Some fill valves have filters. Replacing the whole fill valve is pretty cheap and easy. But you could check to see if there is a filter on your fill valve, and you could pull off the cap on some fill valves to see if there is some crap around the seal.

If you haven't already done so, you might want to disconnect the toilet supply line, and while it's off, slowly turn the stop valve on (being ready to catch the water, of course). It may be the supply line being clogged, esp if you have hard water.

I have this situation in a supply line to a water filter on my kitchen faucet. About once a year the flow slows down noticeably and I need to disconnect the supply line and clean out the sediment that collects where the line connects to the stop valve.
