also the water in the filled bowl shakes.
What I want to know is... is what is occuring using water?
Yes! The flapper in not sealing to the seat; thus, the tank never
finishes filling and will run....using water.
I found mine doing this in the middle of the night one time. Moving
water in the bowl and a feeble attempt of the valve to shut off. Only
a slight leak past the flapper.
For the moment I lifted the flapper and wiped away or cleaned the
bottom of the flapper and seat. I expected the have to replace the
flapper the next day. It seems to have only been only some crud on the
flapper bottom.
