Hey TOm, that is what I initially thought, but no leak in the tank at all. There is something in the trap, which I will snake again, but if that yields nothing, it will be likely a defect the plumber was telling me about. However, if I can adjust the water etc. to keep it going, I'll keep it installed. Seems any time I have had to replace a twelet, there has been some drama involved with cracked flanges and so forth. Man that is a major nightmare. :) On Jul 6, 2009, at 4:03 PM, Tom Fowle wrote:
