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.

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 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. If water still leaks, the washer on the inlet valve may need replacement.

CAUTION: Toilet tank lifts are made of the same material as the toilet so they are heavy. Take care when removing them.
