There should be a stainless clip on the flapper rod that adjusts water height.
Scott.
Always remember those first immortal words that Adam said to Eve, “You’d better stand back, I don’t know how big this thing’s going to get.”
Basically 4 reasons:
1) Defective unit. There can be a flaw in the tank casting or in the overflow tube that allows water to continuously leak out around the flush valve.
2) Flush valve not sealing tightly.
3) Water level too high, causing water to go down the overflow tube.
4) Siphoning from the tank through the bowl fill tube. If the end of the tube is shoved too far down the overflow tube, it causes a siphon to occur.
put a new flapper on it
I don't think it's going to do any good unless you put the flapper IN it.
