When flushing the toilet, the bowl is full with water but the tanks is empty. When releasing the lever to flush the toilet neither the water in the bowl is released or does the tank fill with water, can you please advise what is causing this and how I can fix this trouble bymyself.
You have two options here. Repair or replace. Bigggsie put up instructions on how to replace your ballcock. If you wish to repair it we will need more details. Type of ballcock, float ball or can on a wire? No water at all or is there seepage? No matter what you choose, if you need more instruction click on back and we'll be glad to help. Good luck, Tom

Biggsie,
Are we to believe that the only answer to a faulty ballcock is to replace it?
A Fluid Master ballcock will give the same symptoms if the washer's swelled shut. Here we give the asker options. You didn't give the asker any except replacment. I gave the option of repair or replacement. What's your problem with that?
On the Plumbing page we try to give morer then one option or solution.
Bigsie gave you one. Replace the ballcock. On this page we offer to help you repair the problem and then instruct you on how to do it. There are two types of plumbers. Replacement plumbers and repair plumbers. I was trained to repair. Biggisies statement," Some people do not have your level of experience --- not mechanically inclined..." evedently thinks that you're too stupid to attempt a repaire, and by the way it's easier to repair a ballcock then it is to change one out. We dpon't think so. This page is set up to walk people through a repair job. If you wish to replace the ballcock, fine, but if you wish to give a shot to repairing I'll need the type, float ball or can on a wire, ballcock that you have. Your choice, and that's what this page's all about. Giving you choices. Good luck in whatever you decide. Tom
Yes sir I have a 2 piece elongated toilet Aqua flush It has a 400a fluidmaster anti-siphon design.The toilet is about 2 yrs old . It is getting where it will not fill back up. I read somewhere that you can flush the toilet cut the water off and then take the top of the fill valve off and place a cup or rag over the top where water won't gush everywhere turning the water off and on in spurts to clean trash or grit out that may be stopping the fill valve from working properly.Is this good information?
We have two bathrooms, back to back, and when we flush the toilet or run the shower in #2 the water level in the toilet bowl and tank in # 1 rises and falls several times. You can hear, and I've seen, the fill valve turning on and off in tank #2. Any idea what the cause of this is? Could the vent...
My husband fixed ( hahaha) my toilet about a year ago and ever since then the water does not shut off once the tank is full. Is something set up wrong? I am having to turn on the water at the main valve, fill up the tank, flush, then turn water back off every time I use the toilet. Please help me.
Hi. I just bought a house and have so much to learn. When I flush the toilet, sometimes the tank doesn't fill up with water and sometimes it does. It seems to happen every other flush.
Can anyone help me to determine which part I need to buy?
Thank you,
Amy
Hi ! We have a second home. After not being there for several weeks we noticed that the upstairs toilet had no water in it. The tank is full but the toilet is empty.
What could be the cause of this? Is something clogged?
Thanks

I woke up this morning to a problem and I'm hoping to be able to fix it myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The toilet on the main floor of my house will not refill. I double checked that the water to the toilet is turned on.
We have also discovered that the water pressure through the...
