Adjust the tank fill time
Locate the float rod assembly and then the
flow rate adjustment screw on top of it. Reduce
the flow rate of the water by turning the screw
clockwise. Increase the flow rate by turning the
screw counterclockwise. Not all toilets allow for
adjusting the flow rate.
CAUTION: Toilet tank lifts are made of
the same material as the toilet so they
are heavy. Take care when removing them.
Repair
Problem: toilet won’t flush
The float maintains the tank’s water level.
Adjust the float so there’s an adequate amount
of water to flush.
Install a new flapper. Rubber flappers break
down over time. Purchase a new flapper and
follow instructions on the package
to install.
Problem: the water tank seems to leak
Check to see if condensation is forming on the
tank. It’s possible there’s enough condensation
to drip on the floor.
Problem: water leaks into the bowl
Check the overflow tube. Hold the float and
bend the rod so it’s closer to the bottom of
the tank. Flush.
If water still leaks, the washer on the inlet valve
may need replacement.
If the leak isn’t from the overflow tube, the flush
valve is the likely culprit. Align the rods that
connect the flushing valve and the handle so the
float drops straight down when flushed.
Check the flapper. A warped flapper could allow
water to leak from the tank into the bowl. If
that’s occurring, replace the flapper.
Water tank condensation
There may be condensation on the outside
of the tank. Depending on how heavy the
condensation is, it may resemble a leak.
