    Toilet tank not filling
    I have a flowmaster that I replaced about 3 months ago, but now the tank is not filling or filling very slowly. Do I really need to replace it again already?

    Sometimes a little dirt stops the flow. Read instructions as to clearing trash.

    \Hi Dan and Welcome to The Plumbing Page at AMHD.com. You're responding to a 5 year old dead threads so I gave you one of your own. Please check the date before you post. Thanks
    I can only repeat what I've always said.
    You have a Fluidmaster ball cock, you don't have to replace the entire ballcock. Simply purchase a Fluidmaster replacement seal # 242, (see image), shut the water off to the tank and twist the top off counterclockwise. Replace the seal,(see instructions) and you're back in business. Good luck, Tom

Our toilet just decided to stop filling up with water.
