Default American Standard Champion Toilet- Metering water level in bowl

The clip should go over the edge of the "flush tower" (the tall plastic
part in the middle) with the water aiming into the tower.

Feel around the underside of the rim of the flush tower for a couple of
closely spaced ridges; they should be at approx. 12 o'clock, but you can
turn the whole thing until they are. The bottom part of the clip should
fit between these two ridges so it doesn't wander around.

The water level is adjusted by changing the position of the clip on the
vertical wire on the float assembly at the left: squeeze the two parts
of the clip together and slide it up or down. The water level should be
just below the top edge of the flush tower.

The "skid marks" seem to be unavoidable. It's possible to buy a thing
called a toilet brush.

I have mounted the refill tube's clip into a hole that is in the trip
lever arm, but will look again for a hole in the standpipe, because
that would allow avoidance of flexing the tube during each activation
of the trip lever. The after-flush water level is now great; has
never been so high. Should please my wife. [:-)

TNX info.

This AmStd Champion model is a modern design; no ballcock. Mine was
put into service in OCTober 2005. The lift chain had fallen away and
I reinstalled that to get the toilet to flush again, but perhaps the
tube should be pointed into the overflow tube ? It is now discharging
into the tank.


There's your problem. The small plastic tube should discharge right into the
overflow standpipe. Often there is a small holder built into the top of the
standpipe to hold the fill tube, but it might have a clip.
