It seems like the shutoff (stop) valve for the toilet is preventing my toilet tank from filling up for flushing. When I shut the valve, and open again, the water flows into the supply tube that flows into the tank for a few minutes. Afterward, the flow of water stops BEFORE filling the tank as if it lost pressure of water flow.I repeat the above (closing and opening valve) and does the same thing. (There is also no sign of leak...)What can I do? I'm hoping I don't have to call the plumber.
Definitely the tank float valve needs adjusting. Take the tank cover off and look at the water level, should be up pretty high and just below the venting tube. If it's not you need to adjust the valve. One quick and easy way is to bend the rod that is located between the float and the valve. Bend rod down so that the float sits lower in the tank. This should increase the amount of water in the tank. Some valves have a screw to adjust the water level. If this is the case you'll have to screw in one direction to see what the effect is (more or less water in the tank) then make the adjustment you need in the appropriate direction (screw in or out). Not a big deal, you can do it.
Go to Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and buy a Fluid Master Complete kit. It is by far the best I have ever used in 6 houses, in 3 States.
PEB could be top yet my journey has shown that this type of water hammer is led to with the aid of the ballcock interior the bathroom. The fill mechanism interior the unit in simple terms starts off vibrating after a whilst. try this little try; Flush the bathroom and spot if the vibration takes place while the bathroom is in finished top off mode, (waft top down, a brilliant sort of water entering the tank) - or does the vibration take place while the tank is in simple terms approximately finished, (waft is beginning as much as close off the fill mechanism). you additionally can try with the aid of pushing down on the waft ever so particularly while the tank is done - you will probable hear the vibration at that element. base line - replace the ballcock and all might desire to be properly.
I think its the float in your toilet try pushing down in to the water and see if the flow begins again. If it does just readjust your float setting to the tank fill level you want
Your valve could be worn out and be closing itself off. Try replacing the valve before a plumber. The valves are 4-9 dollars at most hardware stores. Turn water supply off to that area and use a couple crescent wrenches to remove and install, also use plumbers tape to seal. Most of those valves are the same, inlet and exit are usually the only difference. Tell the people at your local hardware your need and they should be able to help you. They may even rent wrench's out if you don't have them ponygirls husband/carpenter
