I just purchased an older home, and during the inspection it was noted that my water pressure was too high. It was measured at 120 psi. After closing, I purchased my own gauge, and it measured 120 psi as well. I could not adjust the previously installed pressure regulator attached to my water main, so I bought a new one, and set it to about 65 psi. Prior to the install my toilets worked fine, but now both toilets have a slow continuous flow. I thought that maybe this was due to the pressure being too low, so I raised it to 85 psi, but that didn't change anything. I find it odd that both toilets started to do this at the same time, so I believe it has to do something with the water pressure.
I opened the back of the toilet, and doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in a toilet, there is this contraption that rotates when I flip the handle, and I can't really see the suction cup to see If there's a proper seal, but once again i find it hard to believe that both experienced mechanical problems at the same time. Any ideas??
