My Toto toiley, I think is a Drake model has just started a refill problem. the water flows in in spurts. Starts and stops for a few seconds each.I finally fills klOK but takes much longer than usual and makes more noise. Got an answer?

Just replace the whole assembly. It only costs 12-15 dollars. Water contains so many minerals that just clog up lines like cholesterol. Just be done with it. It is not worth the effort to try to clean all that out . Plastic is sometimes not very forgiving.

Replace the assembly. This is common in areas with high mineral content in water. You will be glad you did. Delay too long, you may find your toilet running while you are at work .

2 possibilities.1. The water level is set higher the the overflow tube. This will cause the water to run into the overflow continuously. You should be able to see this. 2. The large seal - bottom center of the tank - is leaking. This will cause the water level to slowly drop after a fill. The water tank will start to run again after flushing - BUT NOT CONTINUOUSLY. You should see if there is a small amount of water flowing from the rim to the bowl 15 seconds after the water has stopped running after a flush.

just simply clean the auto switch,the noosle where the water comes out when the floater goes down everytime the tank is empty with water.

WATER LEVEL IS NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED. REDUCE WATER LEVEL TO FILL LINE

Is it not refilling the tank or the bowl? I've got a toto also that is not fully refilling the bowl after each flush. No leaks or other problems. Tank refills fine. Seems that the flapper doesn't float long enough to allow a sufficient amount of water to drain into the bowl before closing. Any ideas?

you can adjust the float out to stop water flow there should also be an adjustmen where the arm attaches to the valve. it is possiable that your valve is bad . if so they are reletively easy to change out.

When you look in the bowl of the toilet, do you see the water trickling? If so then the flapper needs to be replaced.

Also, does the water run intermitentedly? As in every 2 to 5 minutes does the water kick back on to refil the tank? If yes then the answer is yet again the flapper.

Now if the water is constantly running then you can try bending the float arm (the ron that is connected to the big floating ball) down and see if that helps. If not then the next step is to replace the fill valve assembly.

Both of these together will run you about $20-$30.

I am not a plumber but stumbled across the solution on my own. While watching the float during the flush cycle, it was obvious that it was very slow in moving downward along with the water level in the tank. The problem was that the small opening in the float chamber was partially clogged. Using just my fingers, I reached under the float chamber and cleaned off any debris that was blocking the opening underneath the float chamber. Put the float back on, and instantly the problem was solved. The tank fill started immediately after I flushed.

Problem solved.  Reason was a totally blocked waste line that resulted in toilet malfunction.  Toilet functions normally now with removal of blockage.
