you may be overfilling the bowl. professor flush at fluidmaster is
quoted here:
"Toilet bowls in general A note on bowls in general: Each toilet
bowl is made so it can hold a predetermined amount of water. If you
purposely overfilled the bowl you would see in the minute following
the water recede down and then stop. The bowl will do this each time
it is over filled. If the bowl is filled with the right amount of
water there will be no receding of the water level. This is true of an
underfilled bowl too. The bowl should fill with the proper amount of
water at the same time the tank fill valve fills the tank and then
shuts off."
i love their site:
