Our current issue is a non compatible setup in which the spray nozzle has to be stapled to the inside wall of the toilet tank! We're supposed to be getting a whole new toilet, but I don't know when!The fill valve in one of our toilets was not shutting off completely and the toilet would run every few minutes so I bought a new one and replaced it this morning. When I reconnected everything and opened the water-stop, the tank filled and water was dripping from the supply line. I tightened the supply connection a bit more and the leak didn’t stop so I closed the water-stop and disconnected the supply line and quickly discovered the water-stop has failed and water is still trickling out of the supply line. I reconnected everything again and water still leaks out from around the supply line if the tank fills. Even with the water-stop closed, it takes the tank about a half-hour to fill then the leak starts. I entertained the idea of trying to replace the water-stop at the wall but it seems the further upstream I go to attempt to fix this issue, the larger the issue gets. It’s Saturday so I’ve given up and removed the flapper so the tank will not slowly fill until I can get a plumber here Monday morning.
