Remove the tank. Remove the flush valve and replace with a new flush valve kit. May need to change tank seal also.

Make sure the water shut off valve is on. Turning to the right shuts it off so turn it to the left. Maybe one of the kids shut off the water stranger things have happened. Check your supply tube also it could be stuck especially if you have hard water in your area.

Most toilets use less bowl water. But to check yours, be sure that the little plastic refill hose goes down the overflow tube.

Hello,

Foreign debris is lodged under the valve's seal. Debris may consist of calcium deposits, minute pieces of corroded pipe, rocks, rubber, solder,etc. that are carried by the water stream to the seal area, where they become trapped. Some well systems without a filter constantly circulate debris.

Then the way out to solve this problem

Shut off the water supply and remove the Valve cap (Model 400A: lift arm first) by rotating 1/8 turn counterclockwise.
Cover the opening with an inverted cup, and turn water on and off a few times. This should flush and remove water line debris. Turn cap over and clean seal surface by rinsing under running water.
Replace cap (400A: lift arm first) by rotating clockwise. Turn on water. In the case of well water supplies, the best long-term solution is a filter.Please rate this if it help.

Thank you and thanks for using fixya.

Make sure the chain to the flapper is loose when the flapper is down and that the handle when it goes through the toilet is free moving.

Call Eljer or go online to look at their trouble shooting guide.

you have debris in the flush valves. if they are older toilets, I would replace the flush valves. you can get the eljer fill valves from your local plumbing wholesaler.

Hi,
Change the flapper with a generic one that will fit that toilet... the OEM flapper is **** and it does not allow for a good flush either...

Hi,
Either you did not get the right flapper or you have a crack that is letting the water through even though the flapper is sealed...
Cracks can be very hard to identify, but if the flapper is sealing good then that's your problem...

the flapper valve is a common piece to obtain and easy enough to replace..

plunge it first ,, if after this your still having the same problem, you may have to remove the toilet and check to see that nothing has gone into the J trap in the toilet itself, toothpaste caps,, and other objects will allow a snake or plunging to work,, but the problem still happens due to an object that will slide to the side and then go back one the snake has been removed

The wax ring would only help if the toilet wasn't sealed to the drain. Is the odor coming up through the toilet? If so then your water level must be low in the bowl, allowing the trap to be open to air. Make sure the little hose from the fill valve is dumping into the overflow. This helps make sure the toilet stays full, when refilling.

The Problem can be fixed by fixing a new flush meganisum to your cystern, sound like the old flush rubber is stuck in the cloused posision, have a look by taking the meganisem of, if so replace it .

Hi Guy they have a hole in the flapper with air pocket that casues them a problem, you can buy aa flapper wth a chain on it that has a float on the back of the flapper valve so you can adjust it to work right. my experince has been to put the float right up aagainst the back side of the flapper. they cost $3.99 at any hardware store.

The ball **** is still used with the handle the fill vaalve is a circuler float that goes threw the bottom of the tank you twist the shat to rase the folat high enought to get the water to fill to desired flush level then install washer and water hose on the bottom, then turn water on and watch that the tank does not overfill if it starts to turn the water off flush the tolite and turn the valve counter clock wise to lower it, there is a rod conneted to the float that can be screwed up or down to adust it.
