My overflow tube puts out a ton of water and so far it seems to be a waste - inside the overflow.

I think the explanation was that the bowl never really emptied, so it it did not have to fill. Plus there was still some water making its way through the paths to the rim holes and down the bowl after the slow siphon had broken.Why is his particular toilet filling-up with water when the tube is not in the fill hole?

, it may be a chore to explain to Engineers, but at least we read well. My last post stated that the entire toilet, base, tank and all inner workings came in a single box and is about 3 years old. No danger there of emptying the tank.
If Engineers are so useless then how come Plumbers don't design aircraft?
Good to see the kid is not following in Father's footsteps.
Geeze, some of you guys are twitchy about being challenged on long-held beliefs. Old Arabian Proverb, "Arrogance diminishes Wisdom."
Eric C -- nice job!
Bluebinky -- you have left out the drive-time component. If only they could go from one job to another and do four in an hour. If they can do one an hour, they are lucky. Then there is gasoline, insurance on the van, liability insurance, carrying cost of inventory, payments on the money they borrowed to buy and replace tools, chargeoffs, cost of running the office (person, space, consumables like paper, toner, etc.), bank and credit card fees, that yellow pages listing, and on and on. If revenue is $4000/wk and cost of operation is $3250, folks aren't taking home as much as one might think.
wjcandee, I figured everyone would know I was joking. Thanks, though...Eric C -- nice job!

Just like plumbers, not all engineers are created equal. What do you guys think of this "engineers" new DIY tool? I figured it would be cheaper to buy and sell later then rent a bunch of times while fixing up Dad's old place over the next few years.
Look at the picture above your post. It's called the refill tube. Take the old one with you and get any tube that is similar.About the tank that holds the water for a toilet. When you flush the toilet, water shoots out of a tiny hose in the tank, filling it back up. This is a very skinny hose. What is this hose called? I need to go to the hardware store and buy a replacement because the old one is partially clogged up and has never been changed.
You dredged up the wrong thread. Now folks will add their two cents to the original discussion that is unrelated to your problem. You would have been far better off starting a new thread rather than dredge up a more than a decade old long thread.When you flush the toilet, water shoots out of a tiny hose in the tank, filling it back up.
This is awkward, but...
