I have a new <1yr Jacuzzi Toilet, 1.6 GPF. It takes more than 5 minutes 50 sec to refill the tank. To waterline (No Overfill) Used to take 30 Sec. My water pressure is good and the toilet clears well. Very Frustrating! Local Lowes/Home Depot haven't been much help, can you? Thanks!

Some fill valves have a screen located where the water supply hooks. Check here first. If there is one, remove it. Next, we will need to know which fill valve you have. Usually most types are easy to take apart and flush out. You will also want to check for good water supply when you have the supply unhooked from the toiet. If good there, you know its in the fill valve. Worst case, you install a new fill valve. Cheap and easy to do.

Lift the lever arm and slightly twist to the left. Holding down pressure on the top, slowly lift the top until water flows out at a good rate. Press the top back town and twist to the right to lock the top. Release the lift arm and see what happens. Fill faster?
