sorry - i'm a plumbing moron....
i just installed a Fluidmaster fill valve. It comes with a refill hose that goes from the fill valve to above the top of the overflow tube: i looked around on the net and everything i've found says it's there to refill the bowl.
BUT - none of the other toilets in the house (nor this bowl originally) have a tube squirting water down the overflow tube yet somehow the bowls refill.
Since replacing the valve the toilet refills slower: if i clip the tube on backwards so it's aimed into the bowl it's slow, if it's aimed down the overflow tube (per installation instructions) it's even slower!
40 seconds for the other toilets, 60 seconds with the tube aimed into the bowl and 90 seconds if it's aimed down the overflow tube.
Will i really have dookie all over the floor if i don't use the damn refill tube?
