Hello people,
I have a Toto Drake 1.28 GPF ST743 purchased in 2009.
The black hose that comes from the fill valve into the overflow white riser does not shut off flowing water after flushing and bowl is full.
I now turn off the water at the valve outside the toilet, below, coming out of the wall.
When I need to flush I turn the water source back on, and when I do that I notice that the water is not flowing out of the black hose (until I flush again). So turning off the water halts the problem, if that is any further clue to this toilet's issues.
In July of 2013 my other Toto Drake toilet of same vintage, 2009, I had to replace the fill valve because of a different issue. Water kept seeping into the bowl which turned out was a fill valve issue (not a flapper issue). So I know how to change a fill valve in the toilet, I just don't want to do it if there is a different and easier fix.
I'm guessing the fill valve needs to function properly to make the water stop running into the black hose.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
