My toilet tank fills up with water, water flow stops for 2 seconds, then it starts running at a very slow rate and continues. I found this very helpful video, but I cannot seem to twist anything off on my valve.


Is my valve cover not removable?

Replace the entire fill valve. They're like 10 bucks.

Make certain that it isn't the flapper valve that's leaking. Shut off the supply to the commode and check it over time to see if the water level drops.

I see no drop in water level after an hour, but the tank is empty after ~12 hours. If the leak is so slow, would that explain why the valve does not shut off? I guess it would be easiest to replace everything in one go rather than one piece at a time.

Edit:

1. Listened to my butt crack.
2. Replaced flapper. Issue persisted.
3. Replaced valve. Issue resolved.
