Ghost flush... can I fix this w/o taking the tank off?

Yes, you are only replacing the water valve assembly and will have to completely drain the Tank by turning off the water inlet valve to the holding Tank and soak the remaining water with a towel.

It's not likely the fault of the fluid master. I would suspect it is just reacting, as it should, to a leaky flush seal where the water exits the tank during the flush. It may not be sealing off tightly and, thus, permitting a slow leakage of the water in the tank past it and into the bowl below. As the water level slowly drops enough to a point that the Fluidmaster decides to refill the tank, you may be hearing it refill for a few seconds. If this is determined to be the problem, then replace the flush seal rubber washer or bulb (which-either your tank has). This is done without removing the tank.

Yes, shut the water off, disconnect the water hose, put a bucket underneath, loosen the valve, replace it, and it is good to go.

Fluidmaster installed in the right side of tank not requiring tank removal.

I have installed 2 in the last few months. I plan on draining the tanks every year. I will remove the tank and flush outside since the tanks have no drain. While outside I plan on replacing the anode rod which is less than a $10.00 part. This will prevent the tank from rusting out. This is a little bit of work but for immediate hot water in the bathrooms it's well worth it. I also have the relief valve attached to the drain pipe just incase the valve opens. Pls let me know if you have any other questions

Remove the nut washerMake sure that your bottom bracket that hold your LP tank is installed the right way. (if it is wrong your tank will not sit level in the opening) and make sure that your magnet lock at the is secure.Hope this helps.r

There is a on /off knob on the connector to the tank. You would turn the knob to off then unscrew the tank with no propane leakage.

You put everything together then turn it on. So either a. You may not have placed just right or b. It might need be replaced. My 75 gal had be replaced but my 30 still runs like a champ. Make sure everything is on tight and placed like its supposed to. :)

It sounds to me like your tank is bad and needs to be replaced which is just what we went thru and replacing the tank did the trick.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

my understanding is that the repair / recall kit still needs to be installed - specifically the external regulator and metal U-Band both of which are easy to install...The best direction is to check the serial number at http://recall.flushmate.com or call 800-303-5123 for verification

You can replace the seal in this valve without removing the tank! There is a black nut on the very top of the valve, unscrew it and the top will come off so that you can replace the seal. There will a clicking noise when removing the nut, and when you put it back together, turn the nut, till you hear two clicks. You can look on Youtube, for a Kocrky brand of flush valve it is the same as American Standard valve. 30 minute or less to replace the seal! Good Luck

possible that someone tried to flush something other than human waste down toilet, creating a blockage, you will have to disassemble toilet and flush line. upon disassembly check flapper valves, make sure they open and close easily, if not replace. also, lubricate pump rod when in full vertical position, that may help

We had the same problem and needed to replace the o-ring at the base of the water tank. My husband did it - if I recall it was a simple fix.

Like the others have said, just open the gray valve. I drain the black tank first then flush line out using gray tank without the jet on. If pumping up hill you will need the jet. This system is slower but I won't go back too stinky slinky.

It sounds like there's something wrong since you've been able to remove it but, as you say, "It's become harder and harder over time". I've not had a problem with mine. You may have already tried it but if not - maybe it would be easier to remove if the dirty water tank has been removed first. Good luck. Let Amazon how the customer service is if you have to contact them for repair. Thanks, Kay

You may need to adjust the water height in the tank. My guess is that the water is too high and a little bit spills over the edge into the valve and reactivates it. Try turning the small pin on the side so that less water fills the tank when you flush.

I have an ancient fish tank motor (same principal) sometimes the impeller(little fan like thing that moves the water)gets clogged Carefully under running water try to flush it out. A little food/whisker whatever may be stuck. Goodluck

Yup, I've done it with paintball and scuba tanks plenty of times. Just make sure it's empty and gets checked, unscrew off the threaded valve on top as well.

Don't know for sure, but try contacting them about your concern. It wouldn't take much to fix the problem, just more packing to keep the tank from sliding back & forth in the box.
