I had a crack in the overflow tube and some water hammer when toilet tank refilled. Replaced both items with new gaskets and washers. Water hammer was gone and toilet fills up faster. I know the chain for flapper isn't getting stuck, water isn't leaking on floor. Before I did all this the toilet would flush perfectly every time.
Here are my issues, the toilet tank keeps filling itself up every hour or so if not flushed/used. My other issue is I sometimes have a weak flush/hardly none at all even if I manually fill tank up to fill line. But if I flush again after the tank fills up, it will flush normally no problems. I have tried different flappers as some have suggested and still the same issue.
My question is since water is going into the bowl slowly. Could this be the source of the weak flush?
Could my leak be at the flush valve? If so should I maybe give the 2 screws/bolts holding tank to bowl an extra turn?
I have a numbered dial on my flapper, will this help with flushing? its currently on a 7
