running toilet

[Stephen]

My toilet runs for about 30 seconds every 30 minutes or so. Ive replaced the flapper tank ball thinking the old one might be worn, but 20 minutes later it ran. What should I do? Its the original tank, but the insides are about 3-4 yrs old. Any suggestions would be great.Thanks

I assume the little refill tube is stuck down the overflow pipe. If it is pushed down too far, it will suck the water out and cause your problem.: My toilet runs for about 30 seconds every 30 minutes or so.

You should replace the flapper valve with a fast reacting shut off. Recomend fluidmaster replacement.
