Leak at water supply into tank.

I have a Toto toilet with the GMax flushing system. Recently we noticed the toilet leaking in the back and I have tracked the problem down to one thing I believe. The drip come from between the plastic nut that tightens onto the intake pipe sealing the unit against the tank. I thought the seal was bad and replaced it but still have the drip. I noticed that the drip rate is much higher when the tank has filled (therefore higher pressure inside the intake pipe) and the water supply is left on. When I turn the water supply off the drip slows. Also the water level in the tank itself does not decline. I have removed the flushing unit to inspect it and cannot see any cracks in the pipe. Any suggestions on what part(s) need to be replaced or does the whole flushing mechanism need to be replaced as a whole? Thanks in advance for any help.

A small leak under the toilette, the seal has been changed many times and the toilette has even been replaced. Plumber says deffective toilettes? The leak seems to only happen when or after it is...

I've installed a lot of Toto toilets and have had few leaks but, not from the one piece toilets. It might be a problem toilet but, I would be sure the drain is not blocked causing a small back up after the flush.I have seen this happen many times. The toilet can be pulled and a 5gallon bucket of water can be poured down the drain to test this before replacing the toilet. also be sure water is not spraying on the top of the tank lid and leaking down the back of the toilet.If you flush the toilet with the lid off it should be easy to see if that the problem. hope this helps.

Toto Pacifica Gmax elongated toilet problem. Same problem I cannot solve. I can replace the flapper, no sweat. But I have replaced the large ring gasket, located on the plastic exit port of the tank,...

Hi, Dayne here
Those large gasket seldom leak unless the two bolts are not tight enough. DO NOT over tighten. The water is probably coming from the bolts themselves. The rubber washer goes on the inside of the tank, and then a nut should be on the outside with a metal washer. Tighten pretty tight, but not too tight.
Thanks.

Toilet flushes fine but when the tank has filled it seems like the float ball keeps bobbing up and down letting more water or air into the tank. it will do this 5/6 times then quits. its almost like it is...

The ball float follows the tank water level, and repeated cycles of the float dropping and opening the fill valve would likely reflect a leak in the flush valve. You could try adjusting the float arm downward so that it will respond to a lower water level. Try turning off the supply valve, flushing it and listen for water leaking past the flush valve after it closes. If it does, replace the flapper or adjust the chain.

Hello. Your lid has two buttons so you can do a half flush or a full flush. A water saving feature. Since the toilet is flushing by itself every hour or so, you must have a leaking flush valve. Replace the valve to solve that problem. Joe

TOTO DRAKE flushes then the tank fills, stops, then slowley leaks and the water just runs on and on at a trickle pace down the overflow spout.

The rubber stopper that is inside the back of the tank is allowing water to get by do to:
(1.) Be wore out- must be replaced with a new one.
(2.) The chain that is connected to the flush handle needs to be adjusted. However, if it has not been messed with recently, then it will be the (1.)

Toto Toilet - no water flow to refill tank after flush

Remove the tank lid and look at the fill valve. Is it a yellow valve?
This fill valve is common on the Toto Toilets and can easliy plug with debrie.

They can be disassmbled and cleaned. however, I usually just replace the valve with Fluid Master Fill valve.
You will also want to check the water coming into the toilet by turning off the water that supplies the toilet and disconnecting the water supply line. After removing the water supply line turn on the water at the valve to make sure that the water is flowing properly. Check the supply line also to make sure it is not plugged.
Be sure and place a small container to catch the water that will come from the valve. A towell will also help from making too much of a mess.
If the Supply line and the valve are clear the problem is in the fill valve.
The G-Max system denotes the Flushiing system which is a 3" flapper that allows the water from the tank to flow into the bowl quicker.
Good Toilets!

Toto GMax Flushing System drips

What you are experiencing is a flapper valve problem. Since I don't know what model you have I will give you a link to the generic GMax unit. Here is the parts breakdown for a GMax

Toto GMax

I would suspect you need part #7 on this diagram a flapper valve. Take the old one with you since different colors ones are used on different models. You should go to the Toto site to locate a dealer first. You can find their site here:
