Hello Everyone,
I have a Gerber toilet that had a fill value start spraying water from the top of the assembly. I replaced it with a new fill value and flapper that came with the kit. Then the toilet would sporadically run and I could hear water going into the tank. I replaced the flapper and it still ran. Using Fluidmaster products I replaced all of the parts (fill value, flush value, flapper, tank bolts and even the tank to bowl gasket). After replacing all the parts it still runs, now more often. My first question is, could over tightening the flush value assembly to the tank and the tank bolts cause a leak into the bowl? I put green food coloring into the tank and after a couple of minutes I could see the water in the bowl turning green. It appeared to be coming up from the bottom of the toilet. What else should I try? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
TerryC
