[savetime]

Occasionally， there is a leaking happened , not much, but some water leak to Bowl, just a moment and then stop.
why so and how to fix?
Thanks

flapper can leak, so , use either the special tablets in the tank for revealing leaking flapper, or food coloring.
If your tube into the overflow is not held above the top of the tube then, that is a problem and needs a clip to keep it above the overflow tube.

A pic of your toilet tank will reveal the issue usually.

it is the flap.
I shouldn't had replaced valve?

The fill valve was probably OK ........ but the flush valve "flap" was probably allowing a leak which drops the tank level and triggers the fill valve to replenish

nobody would recommend replacing a Fluidmaster fill valve when you can buy the $2. Fluidmaster seal...oh, new inflated price is now $4.

I quit replacing the seal, I’ll only replace the entire ballcock. Had a few start leaking again a few weeks later. New ballcocks stopped that problem and we’re talking less than $20

I was more referring to a home repair situation. As a contractor out on a repair far from home base, sure, I agree, especially because those floats can get 'sticky' on the column.
