Ok, I have determined that the toilet is running too much. I replaced the flapper and put a new ring below it, the seal seems to be working fine.

I have an American Standard "Smart Flow" (yellow and black plastic thingamajiggy) in place of a floating ball or Fluidmaster set up. When I turned the water back on and flushed, the water level rose to just above the lip of the center pipe (overflow pipe?), which goes into the pipe, an inch above the normal level. There is a rubber tube that runs from the Smart Flow valve, and water is also running out of this tube into the pipe (hence, more wasted water?). The water continues to run.

I cannot see a way to lower the water level. The arm that runs from the flush knob to the chain is about 45 degee angle (downward), and adjusting the chain length does not seem to do anything. There no place to adjust a wire like a Fluidmaster.

Need to know if this is something that I can adjust or replace myself.

Thanks!
