Hum..
Just installed a new toilet, wax ring and all the bolts etc.
No leaks but every 45 minutes or so the water will run to fill the tank just for a second or so.
New pressure regulator on the incoming main too.
I'm stumped.
thanks!
Could be several things wrong, one of them or all of them. Here's what I would do.
Is the water inside the tank at the same level as the overlow tube? If so, than the fill valve is set to shut-off too high. Make an adjustment so the water will shut off about 1" below the overflow tube. You did not mention what kind of fill valve you have. Does it have a float ball with a rod?
If this is not the problem. Do this:
Turn the shut-off valve below the toilet off.
Mark a line on the inside of the toilet tank where the level of the water is with a pencil. Don't use the toilet for an hour or two. Take a look again at the pencil mark. If the level of the water has gone down and is below the pencil mark, the problem is most likely the flapper is not sealing. If the flapper is attached to the ears of the flush valve, make sure they are on totally on and not partially on. Lift up the flapper and look to see if there is any material keeping the flapper from sealing.
Hope this helps.
