Thread 33451936

HELP- I can't figure it out, after flushing my toilet takes forever to refill. It used to be slow... took maybe 10-15 minutes to refill the above tank. I tried to replace the upper fill valve and checked the bottom hose but now it takes around 45 min to an hour t o refill. If I take off the fill hose from the pipe to the toilet and turn it on full there's only a very light spray coming from the water supply pipe. So, it seems like there's very light water pressure coming from the pipe when I twist and turn the valve on. All the other water sources in my house seem to have ok pressure though... so I don't think my house has low water pressure...
thoughts?

It has to be an intake plumbing problem from what you are saying. Either a clog of some sort in that branch or a leak draining the local pressure. You have to cut open the dry wall for the pipe feeding into the toilet to look for leaks

here in eastern EUROPA when a rat dies inside a pipe and we get a bit impatient we fill a bucket in the garden and flush with a bucket. it splashes a little shit around but so what

Somewhere along the pipe to the toilet tank is a valve to increase or decrease the water flow in. It could be a handle, knob or just a screw. Someone has set it low to save water. Turn it higher.

The most common would be a leak between the flapper valve and the seat, from slime and grit. Wipe it off. The pressure comes from the hight of the municipal supply. So, if you have a flow problem, it is likely debris in the valve closest to the toilet. I would first suspect the flapper leak, if you haven’t observed how the flow was, before you had a problem.

I think what happened is the gasket o ring on the turn off valve stem came off and it's "stuck" in the off position. gonna look at it again later tonight.
