Problem 1: Water Trickling Into the Bowl, or "Phantom Flushes"
You may periodically hear your toilet begin to spontaneously refill, as
though someone had flushed it. A toilet that cuts on and off by itself,
or runs intermittently, has a problem that plumbers call a phantom
flush. The cause is a very slow leak from the tank into the bowl. This
problem is almost certainly caused by a bad flapper or flapper seat. The
solution is to drain the tank and bowl, check and clean the flapper
seat, and replace the flapper if it's worn or damaged.
Problem 2: Water Trickling Into the Tank
If you hear a sustained hissing sound coming from your toilet, it's
probably a result of water trickling into the tank via the supply line.
In this case the parts to check are the float, the refill tube and the
ballcock or inlet-valve assembly. The hissing sound is typically caused
by water coming through the inlet valve. First check to see whether the
float is sticking or needs adjusting. Next, check to make sure the
refill tube isn't inserted too far into the overflow tube. (It should
extend only about 1/4" below the rim of the overflow tube.) If neither
of these adjustments solves the problem, you'll probably need to replace
the ballcock assembly as described above.
Problem 3: The Bowl Empties Slowly
A bowl that empties slowly -- also known as a weak flush -- is usually
the result of clogged holes underneath the rim of the bowl. Use a curved
piece of wire to poke gently into each flush hole to clear out any
debris. Coat-hanger wire works fine, and a small mirror will help you
see under the rim. You can also use wire to loosen debris that may be
blocking the siphon jet in the bottom of the drain. Be careful not to
scratch the bowl.
