Toilet keeps flushing!

[cmdrmoocow]

Well, the toilet in our dorm room keeps flushing; rather simple. We got the RA to turn it off, and if it doesn't work right soon, we have to fill out a support request.

Quite exciting.

And of course, PIC.

Another PIC shows what kind of toilet - nothing user servicable.

poltergeist, for sure. at least the crapper is clean.

So you have to use your neighbor's toilet?

So do you not know how to lift the lid on the tank and make sure the flapper is doing what it's supposed to? It would only take a sec and the water in the tank is probably clean enough to drink. (as long as you don't use those bleach drop-ins)

Did you check the inside the tank?

Maybe someone upper decked you and it's sticking.

It has not been proven that Coriolis forces have an effect on rotation of fluid draining from cistern. The shape of the bowl has more of an effect.

If this were the case, crappers on the Equator would go straight down which isn't the case.

Cheers!

No, no tank.

Indeed. A clean toilet is a rare commodity in a dorm.

If it keep flushing then there could be a leak somewhere. Some die or ink can show you exactly where the leak is if you can't find it.

Or go ask the girl if you can stay with them while your toilet being fix.

I live in the dorm only once.. but I was amazed. It's a guy's dorm and it was clean. The trash always taken care of, the rest room always clean and toilet paper always there for use.

But one thing is the dish washer's soap is full and hardly get use.
