Every time we flush the toilet it makes a screeching sound, like something is about to explode, any ideas on how to make it stop?

Sounds like the valve is making the noise. You will need to replace it to stop the sound. The valve is the part of the stool that is located in the tank, the water supply connects to the bottom of it, and it lets the water refill the tank until the float turns it off.

After flushing, the toilet keeps running. However, if I turn off the water supply, and then turn back on, the toilet stops running until the next time it is flushed. Toilet makes a

It could be the type of flap you are using. I would suggest you try a different shaped flapper (a cone would work best) and if that doesn't do it, put a new kit into the unit, because it could be that the float system is sticking causing it to continue running.

I have the Kohler model 703 one piece toilet. It runs once about every ten minutes. It sounds just like a flush but nothing happens in the bowl. Any ideas?

Something is leaking. Your description sounds like tank water is slowly leaking and then the tank refills. You really need to use Kohler brand parts, as others pieces seem to not work well.

Flushmate 503 - loud squeaky scary noises

Have you tried the "800" number on the tank label or visited the Flushmate Web site?

Could be related to the plumbing or the Flushmate. Technical support should be able to help you pinpoint the cause and, if it's Flushmate-related and under warranty, provide a resolution.

Good luck!

Our toto toilet wont flush the water down. We plunged it to no avail, then we ran drain clearing baloons it wouldnt clear out. we keep removing the water with plastic pots. So we can try something else....

Sounds like something is either in the bowl stuck or down in the waste line. I would probably pull the toilet and pour water down the waste line to see if it backs up or set the toilet up on something and pour water into the bowl to see if it comes out. At least it will help to find out where the problem is. Have you lost anything recently that might have fell in the toilet. Did something come off of the plunger and get stuck in the bowl?
