    Question on fill time for a toilet

    Toilet and water pump working fine. My plumber did say this week the amount of water that leaves the fill tank depends on the model of the toilet. I think more recent toilets flush depend on quick or deep flush. My toilet up in loft is over 30 years old and all water leaves the fill tank even...

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    I will not use the tabs anymore. So my question now is: when one flushes a toilet fast, or slow, should the fill tank empty out completely? I am getting different answers from different people on this. Right now a small flush only takes down the water by 1/3, a full flush will almost empty...

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    The mechanic today wrote the following after doing an inspection ($50). "I found some oil residual between the trans and the engine, may be rear main, oil pan or both. I would just monitor the the leak as it is slight and it can become expensive to repair. I also cleaned off the area. " He...

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    Sounds good. I was gone the whole day and just got back and checked the water pump. No dampness or dripping at all, so it did not keep going off while I was away today. If the flapper was bad, wouldn't the water from the tank be lower and drip into the toilet bowl while I am away? The water...

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    That is a possibility. I am not going use the blue tablets anymore. This one is dissolved all the way now. I once had a sticker label on the toilet get stuck on the flapper and that caused the water pump to not shut off.

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    I did a deep flush on the problem toilet and that fixed the water pump issue. I will use another toilet until I get someone to come take a look at the problem toilet. It is causing issues with the water level somehow.

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    Ok, here is the situation after testing it. Regardless of what is in the bowl, a quick flush lowers the water tank by 1/3 and takes 3 minutes to fill. If I hold down the flush handle for a longer time (say 4 seconds) the water in the tank goes down almost to the bottom to and takes 12 minutes...

    Question on fill time for a toilet

    So holding down the flush handle longer will make it fill slower? That could be the case, as I hold it down longer so all the materials leave the toiler. I showed the plumber the picture of toilet back and he could not see anything obvious. I dont know how long to hold down the handle, do a...

    EV are not cost effective at this point. We are still many years away when all of us will be driving an EV. Hertz rent a car returned all their fleet EV's because they were not cost effective.

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    I am having a mechanic at a small garage look at it......he says do not trust Marganthaler because he says he has never seen a gasket causing a leak...and that is the earliest he can look at it....he is backed up with work till then.
