My new low-flow water-conserving toilet won't stop running.
It's driving me nuts.

It just started doing this. After it's flushed, it runs for like 2 minutes. And it's loud. Anyone know how to fix this...?

1. check the flap where the tank and bowl meet,

sometimes they don't seat quite right and that prevents the tank from filling.

4. Yep.
...Also check the handle, which levers over and lifts to drain water from the tank. Sometimes that's a little off in a new installation. :hi:
