Troubleshooting

Toilet tank is constantly running or refilling slowly.

Check the ball float to ensure it is not obstructed and is floating freely. Adjust the float arm if necessary. Check for leaks in the flush valve.

Water level in the tank is too high or too low.

Adjust the position of the ball float by bending the arm to achieve the correct water level. The water level should typically be below the overflow tube.
