What if the shut off valve doesn't work on old model fill valve?
I have a toilet leak somewhere that is causing me to lose 2gallons of water every 2min. according to water co. Water is not on my floor thank God!. And I pray it won't be, but there is obviously a leak as there the hose or pipe coming from the floor to the toilet is greenish color, and when I turned the valve in off position, I could see it begin to drip around the knob area. Toilet is constantly humming-1 or twice it has flushed on its own. I have an old fill valve with the 'floating bulb' that sits on top of the water in the tank. The piece it is connected to, that looks like a twist cap w/screws, has water coming from it like 2 or 3 little fountain streams still, even though the valve has been turned to off position. And the toilet is still making noise. Can someone please help? There is no telling how this has effected my bill. :( And I don't have $ to pay a plumber, so if I could turn it off myself until I can have the prob corrected, that would be great! Oh also, the handle to flush the toilet broke a few weeks ago, and the piece it controlled inside the tank broke off, so I've had to leave lid off, and manually pull 'stick piece' up to pull plug for flushing.
