A toilet that keeps filling and running is wasting water. Here is the Sumter guide.
The fill valve
A fill valve that will not shut off keeps the water running into the overflow.
The float
A misadjusted float lets the water rise too high before the valve closes.
The flapper
A leaking flapper also makes the tank refill repeatedly.
