dropping water level in toilet
What causes a toilet to lose some of it's water in the bowl? After flushing
it, it fills up just fine. When it stops filling, within 30 seconds the water level in the bowl drops a bit (maybe 3/4") and stays there forever. No leaks, two-piece toilet. |

The flapper or ball that raises when you flush the toilet is bad. It wastes alot of water when bad. |

Check out: http://www.1800anytyme.com/blog/15-e...t-tune-ups/36/ Excerpt: "7. Toilet Bowl Water Level Drops After you walk away from the toilet and the tank has filled, does the water level mysteriously drop? If so, two things can be wrong. The toilet may be partially clogged. The clog can actually cause a siphon and pull water from the bowl. The other possibility is more severe. There can actually be a crack or small defect in the colon of the toilet. This is the channel that water passes through to get to the drain pipe. A colon crack or defect means it is time for a new toilet." |
