Sometimes when you flush the work fine, sometimes the chain will kink and hold the flapper up to hogh to sea; and if you don't notice it it will leak until you flush the next time or shake the handle. That sounds like a good possibility causing an intermitant high bill. Some kinks can be repaired by un-twisting the chain 1 or 2 turns.Aunt Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885797869450479723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-13778250352833144462013-01-04T15:57:29.856-05:002013-01-04T15:57:29.856-05:00A off and on leak could be a bad toilet flapper va...A off and on leak could be a bad toilet flapper valve or a bad float level, allowing water to overflow the tube..

The needle should not be moving. If it is you have a leak somewhere.Aunt Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885797869450479723noreply@blogger.com
