Hello:
I have a very slow-running refill tube in an old 'turlet' with a Flowmaster fill valve. When the water runs down into the overflow tube, it sounds more like a leaking faucet than a filling toilet, and it drives my wife nuts. I guess that there is either something wrong with the fill valve or that it is supposed to keep water running slowly. Right? If I replace the valve, and the water runs faster, do I also have to replace the fill tube (with one with a larger exit hole)?
Isn't the fact that the refill tube empties into the overflow tube intended to avoid the splashing noise of water falling on water? Otherwise, the refill tube could as well empty directly into the tank. Or ...?
Grateful for any information.
Regards,
Hans L
