Took Gmax apart & cleaned strainer but I can still hear water running. The toilet is about 5 years old. Please tell me how to fix this problem.
Thanks,
Harold
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.

Thanks for your answer. Don't see water trickling in the bowl & it doesn't run intermittently. It has a Toto G-Max 528 fill valve so doesn't have a float ball. I don't know if replacement parts are available or if the complete assembly will need to be replaced.
Thanks again for your help.
Sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
I really confused now. I decided to put some food dye in the tank to see if the flapper was leaking. After waiting about 25 minutes, the dye showed up in the tank so I replaced the flapper. After installing the new flapper, I again put some food dye in the tank & waited another 25 minutes & there's dye showing up in the tank with the brand new flapper. The tank has a plastic flush valve. So now I don't have any idea what to do. Help please.
