Toilet constantly running water ?

You require a new washer in the ball valve. Whichever type of ball valve you have, it is very simple to change the washer. While you have the valve apart, clean all working areas of the valve, as it is quite simple to leave some scale in the area where the washer goes. If you have the conventional brass ball valve, remove the split pin and take the arm out, take the brass cap off and the plunger will come out. Once you have the plunger out, undo the end cap and replace the tiny washer. If it is a plastic ball valve, just unscrew the big nut and then replace the washer. As a tip to anybody, smear the working areas of the ball valve lightly with vasalene, and then put it back together, job done.
