I have a raised bungalow and the toilet in the basement tends to run
constantly. (Sounds like its trying to self flush almost.) I replaced the
tower in the tank thinking that the bottom seal was worn out, but it
continued. Therefore I replaced the toilet with a Cadet 3 toilet from
HD. It
worked fine for maybe 6 months and has started to run constantly again.
There
is nothing blocking the seal and we don't use those tank
deodorant/self-cleaning pucks. Any thoughts?

Does the float float? It is odd a new toilet would develop the same
problem. Is the water going into the bowl or down the overflow?

There isn't that much that can go wrong. Flappers can start to
disintegrate but that's after years, not 6 months.

What is the valve? One of the old style with the float on an arm? Is it
binding on the tank wall? Is it adjusted to cutoff the flow before
reaching the overflow? If a new style, is the float binding on the column?
