Replace your "Flapper Valve (its the one the handle is attached to)...it is leaking and not repairable ,that is causing the tank to slowly drain, and refill every half hour.
Please take time to rate me
Your fill valve is going bad it can be replace with a new fluidmaster instead of the Ultra-G you have in it its going bad they do over time you may want to check your house water pressure in case that may have been what broke it you don';t want to break a new one.
The handle is probably worn out on the first toilet. The whistling on the other toilet is probably from a restriction in the fill valve, if you can live with whistling, it's not really a problem. If not, I recommend trying a different type of valve.
could be a little air could be slightly higher than normal water pressure where you live. i would just turn the shuttoff valve to half off and this should quiet it down for you. hope this helps:)
The wax ring would only help if the toilet wasn't sealed to the drain. Is the odor coming up through the toilet? If so then your water level must be low in the bowl, allowing the trap to be open to air. Make sure the little hose from the fill valve is dumping into the overflow. This helps make sure the toilet stays full, when refilling.
Hello. I doubt that the installer would not install it properly. That said, the issue you are having makes me wonder if your bath drain plumbing is properly vented to the outdoors through the roof. Joe
Turn off the water when it is full and put a drop or two of food coloring in the tank. Sit back and watch and you'll find where the water is going and hopefully that will help you solve the problem. Could be any number of things
First, fyi, adjusting the knob? in the tank, or the fill level will not increase the amount of water in the bowl. The bowl fills to a certain point, and then as more water is added it starts to go over the built in trap, and down the drain. When you flush the toilet, all the water in the tank dumps into the bowl, and the existing water is pushed over the trap and down the drain. All of this being said it sounds like you may either have an internal crack, between the bowl and trap; you may have a crack that is draining under your toilet, (water spots?), or you have a more serious plumbing issue, improper venting, which is causing a vacuum, and pulling the water out. Hope this helps.
