Re: Toilet Keeps Running...
Out of respect for the fact that this
must be pretty important to you since you have waited nearly three years to post this... mo-flo Registered User Trade: hvac Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 1 Does your buddy know that the ballcock has adjustments? Has he checked the tank ball/flapper valve? Or maybe he should just try one of these http://www.sinkpositive.com/video.html and turn it into a nice fountain? Good luck.

Re: Toilet Keeps Running...
OP is probably dead by now... j/k (due to long-time suffocation of 3-year waiting for your right answers, his business/project failure, and ... this failed economy) etc..

StopLeak. You can get it at AutoZone. Don't tell anyone though. It's a plumber's trade secret.

Re: Toilet Keeps Running...
Hopefully you catch the toilet before it runs out the door.

The only real thing you can do with a running toilet is discipline it, crate training works well...or you can just give it a quick smack in the ass to get yer point across. If this problem continues, get the toilet whisperer, that guy with the show on Discovery er sumthin'. |
