Default Toilet slow, very slow to refill

I recently replaced the main works inside my toilet. The toilet had been
taking too long to refill after a flush. The new insides work no better. The
package in which they came said to turn off the water, undo the interior
valve, hold a cup over it, and turn the water back on to remove sediment. I
did that and it works. For a few flushes, and then back to 30 minute
refills. With lots of hissing and sputtering from inside the tank.

If you've noticed a reduced flushing power of your toilet over time, I
have a simple recommendation for you, something for you to check.




Go back and read his complaint again. He isn't complaining about 30 minute
flushes... he's complaining about it taking 30 minutes for the tank to refill
*after * he flushes. He evidentally has scale built up within his supply line.
He needs to look at his water supply; not the toilet itself.
