If your tank ball or floater is not installed correctly, it could cause the flush valve to stay open. Unfortunately, this problem is not always easy to locate. There is rarely any sound associated with this type of toilet leak as it is an internal problem.

What is the difference between a dam, a weir and a barrage? A weir is an impervious barrier constructed across a river to raise the water level on the upstream side. The water is raised up to the required height and the water then flows over the weir. In a weir the water overflows the weir, but in a dam the water overflows through a special place called a spillway. Weirs have traditionally been used to create mill ponds.
