Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 31, 2020 I was laying in bed around 8:30 and I heard the front toilet flush, which made me think one of the boys was up early. Then a few minutes later I heard the toilet flush again, which made me wonder what was going on. Was one of the boys sick? Then a few minutes later I heard yet another flush, which made me very concerned, so I rose from my bed to investigate. I found an empty bathroom with a self flushing toilet. I investigated further. It was leaking water from the tank into the bowl. the bowl was filling to a point where it would self flush. I took the lid off the tank and lifted the flush valve and could feel sediment build up on the valve and seat. As I was cleaning it, the water line that rinses the bowl as the tank fills came loose and squirted me. After reattaching the rinse like to the fill valve, I shut off the water supply to the tank and cleaned the bottom of the flush valve and seat I turned the water back on and no more leak. I went back to my bedroom, took off my wet robe and put on cargo shorts and a tie dyed Elliot's Hardware t shirt and began to putter about in the front garden. The end. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted May 31, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2020 I have a self flushing toilet too. But I have to go to the hardware store and pick up new internals for it, the current gizmo has cracked rubber flapper. Mine only flushes about twice a day though.

Yes, it's the same here and it's difficult to determine what on the hardware store shelf I need online for outside pickup. I really need to get in there and look around a bit. After all.......American Standard is far from standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted May 31, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 31, 2020 That's a nice story, but it was probably ghosts. I expect it will happen again when you least expect it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted May 31, 2020 Share #12 Posted May 31, 2020 Well, kudos for turning off the water supply first before cleaning the valve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel somewhat guilty for not expressing emotion after each stage of this thriller. I thought of you as I wrote it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
