After installing, I flushed the toilet, and water leaks out from the cap (my toilet's pressure is pretty high). Is this going to be a problem?

The same thing happened to me. My toilet is a Toto Drake, I went down local Toto dealer and it turned out to be an easy fix. Simply replace the diaphram, it's the part that you connected the tubing for the Kaboom to. This fix is for Toto toilets only. Am not familiar with other makes. Note that this part got damaged on my toilet because the Kaboom tubing is much smaller than the one that came with the toilet. I had to force the tubing on, this caused the diaphram to get damaged and start leaking. Hope this helps you.

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

Actually i loosen my cap to allow water to seep out when its filling the tank. Reason? Well my was so air tight that after filling the tank the water shuts off and the Kaboom reservoir tank stays full. What this does is deplete/dissolves the chlorine capsule faster. By allowing air to go back into the Kaboom reservoir, it fully drains the reservoir from water thus prolonging the life of the chlorine capsule. Just make sure that it doesnt spray out of the toilet tank as others have said.

I have 3 of these. I found that tightening the cap too much will distort the unit and cause a leak. I found it works best to lightly tighten the cap. Be sure to wipe the edge of the housing where the cap seals to remove any tablet particles.

this seems to be a common occurance but it will not be a problem as long as water is not spraying out and making a general mess. Also you could try partially closing the water supply valve to reduce water pressure...toilets do not require high pressure to operate.

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

I've done that. I haven't had any problem w/ leaks. Usually it remains stuck to the bottom of the toilet if you pull it back up. Just do it carefully.I don't know if Fernco would back that claim though.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

You would take the red cap off. Put a cup over it and hold it there. Flush the toilet making sure you hold the cup in place so you don't get water everywhere. Then replace the cap and it should work. If not it's cheaper to replace the valve than to waste to much time on it. Debri sometimes gets caught up in the valve. If you received the different size flow regulators maybe try a different one while you have the cap off.

Yes, replace that valve. High water pressure can cause damages in faucets, etc.

I found the water was leaking into the toilet because I was not turning the dial all the way to off. Turn until you hear the last click on "off". That solved my problem

Definitely not normal. Most likely there is a small leak in a faucet, toilet or other fixture. Also check that the threads are well sealed (teflon tape) at the switch. The switch also has a small replaceable rubber diaphragm that may develop a pinhole leak causing a very slow loss of pressure and trigger the switch. I recentlly replaced this switch due to a similar cycling issue, but eventually traced it down to a small crack in the 30 year old plastic pipe in my well. Keep looking; you will eventually find the problem.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

You have not gone wrong. The toilet is a BAD DESIGN. I fought a loosing battle for 12 years, trying to stop the leaking and trying to clear the swirling water of the sewage. I hope you have more luck getting it to work than I had.

answered previously but left this out: The water connecting line IS NOT included. If you cannot use the old one, pick up a new one for the new toilet. And the toilet flushes great once I put it in!!

Could be a bad seal in the pump. Do you have an acummulator tank? They smooth out the flow. Leaks can be hard to see/find from the toilet. Coul be a bad switch.

Yes, we had the same problem and also had it professionally installed. They "shimmed it" and charged me more for it. I cannot recommend this toilet.

I am not sure if it's normal or not but I have never had any issues with it. I just make sure to set it in the space, wiggle it around to make sure it's in there properly and then go about my cleaning. It's never come out, leaked, or done anything else I would be concerned with.

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

two suggestions. 1. Clean the seat of where the flapper sits with a scour pad gently, not the flapper. If any slime or dirt, this may make it have a good seal. OR 2. Your overflow tube may have a crack in it. This will give you a bad day if you are not willing to take the upper tank off and replace the overflow assembly. OR 3. your flapper was mismade and had an air bubble in it.

good observation with the wax seals. The clog is trans the wax seal and when plunge (increase pressure) the toilet the way of least resistance (the wax) gives in. This should not happen with the new seal or only transiently. good luck to all of us. One solution is to unclog with a "snake".
