Common Root Causes

Quick Diagnostic

Check these three typical mechanical failures before replacing parts:

Faulty Fill Valve
Most Common

Worn seals prevent water from entering the tank after flushing.

Float Ball Sticking
Easy Check

Float set too low or rubbing against the tank wall prematurely shuts off water.

Clogged Shut-Off Valve
Low Pressure

Mineral buildup or a partially closed supply line restricts water flow.
