Toilet / washing machine / high water pressure
Before I replace the flush mechanism on my toilet (which I'm planning
on doing anyway) - I thought I would throw this problem out to you guys...just in case I'm overlooking something. The problem is: whenever my washing machine calls for hot water, the toilet in my master bathroom runs. I've trouble-shot this situarion and found out that this toilet's water suppy is plumbed off the run to the water heater (as is our 1/2 bath). The water runs in the toilet only when the washing machine calls for hot - but no other appliance. (I.E. - the dishwasher doesn't make it run...and normal faucet/bathtub use doesn't either) Because the secondary toilet doesn't run when this happens, I'm assuming that the valve/flush mechanism in the main toilet is bad/aging. ANy ideas???? |
