I have water running fromr the G-Max refill valve at the very top until the bowel fills. Is there a fix for this or do I neee to buy a new valve?

Buy a new one. the purchase will pay for itself in the amount of water you are loosing. The mechanism is probably old enough and you don't need to spend money and waste time. I replaced the mechanism and now I am saving about $ 15.00 a month.

You can try replacing the Joker Valve. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYkXa5AWe8

The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough. Perhaps the plastic cover part connected to the tube is not seated correctly. I hate to suggest it, but make sure the separate toggle switch on the back of the unit is in the ON position. It could also be broken - I don't get the impression that the unit itself is very well designed or crafted. I don't even use the humidifier function on mine anymore. It's almost impossible to keep clean. It gets moldy in the transfer tube very easily. I wish I could return it and get a designated humidifier that was designed for that purpose. In hindsight, I would recommend that you avoid this gimmicky product. It promises way more than it can deliver. The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough.

I tried repair kits but were not long term solutions. I finally replaced fill valve complete unit and is working like new.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

The little black tube going into the flush valve must have a hump in it to break the siphon from the tank. If it goes straight from the ballcock downhill into the flush valve it will siphon and cause your every 15 minute refill.

I contacted Toto Support, and a one-piece Toto toilet takes a TSU99A.X refill valve. They also sent me a PDF showing how to disassemble the valve to clean it out. If there is a way to post the PDF here I will do so.

The only option I can think of is to replace the seal around the valve, but I would check on the Bialetti website to see if there is a way to contact them with this question.

If it leaks, you have over filled it. Read the directions. Also, taking the rubber seal out, rinsing it, and fitting it back in will help as well. There is a max fill line. No liquids over the line. Its a great machine. I flipping love mine.

There is a flow control valve on the tube that goes to the overflow pipe. The water level in the bowl can be adjusted so that it fills properly. This worked in my case for both the low and regular flush.

Ok, first I never fill totally full the tank, only 80% maximum. Second, in your case you should contact the seller no matter which part has problem. I had leaking problem in the filter machine before. They helped to solve it. The seller has very good customer service.

Mine stopped working because the overpressure valve failed. No matter what I did, I couldn't get enough pressure built up to make the water come up through the coffee grounds and into the top chamber. Maybe your S.A.F.E. valve needs to be cleaned? If that doesn't resolve your issue, I'd say it's junk.

There is a molding problem with the valve which obscures the water flow. Remove the excess plastic with a small knife or screwdriver and the water will start to flow.

I have not had that happen with my fill valve. I would guess a inspection or replacement of the fill valve seal would be in order. If water is leaking past the seal, it would cause the fill valve to activate when the tank water reached a low level. I'm not a plumber but I would do this before I called one.

I've never experienced this problem with mine. I just make sure I don't exceed the "MAX FILL" line.

I have the same problem. If I fill it up I usually have enough fluid for about 3 weeks. This is normal.

Hey Steve, there should only be running water sound when the tank is filling after you used some of the stored water. Unless you drained the tank to fill up a big big pot, it should not take that long to refill. You might want to check to see if the psi or pressure of the tank is where it should be. You are not filling the entire tank, you are filling a portion with an air balloon providing the pressure to push stored water out to the spigot on command. This is a closed system so water cannot be running forever. If so, the sound is either from something else or you have a major leak below the sink.
