Hi All,
Ooops, sorry, this should have gone in the Toilet Forum.
Our toilet tanks have a small hose that runs from the inlet to the overflow tube. I assumed that it was some kind of overflow, but it ain't. I had to replace the flapper and overflow unit and I could not get the plastic ring to fit over the new pipe so I just left it hanging while I tested it. I saw water flowing out of that little pipe during the flush.
Why is there a trickling stream of water running into the bowl for the entire flush cycle?
I have now removed it and pointed it into the tank so it is not wasted. I can't see how that little trickle could be any benefit at the end of the flush.
Can someone please explain why it is there?
