From the replies it seemed like the easier option was a washer change.
Now I will change the valve and put a metal plate on the outside of the plastic tank (which is currently missing).
Is that a job I can do easily? Is the metal plate easy to install?
I replaced the washer. Verdict is out on wether the drip has stopped yet. I havent had time to check a few hours after use.
However now when the water flows through the valve it vibrates/shudders really loud. What is wrong?
Hello,
There is a slow drip in the attick water tank. To explain in detail, after use, e.g. flushing the toilet the tank refills quickly. Then the rate slows to a trickle and then an ever slowing drip (maybe 1 drip every 10 - 20 seconds). The thing is this drip could last all night, 12+ hours...
