I own my condo, and over the past few months they've been servicing the waste-water lines, which involves shutting them off for a few hours. all my water pressure is normal since the servicing, however, my toilet refills very slowly. I noticed for the first few days since the servicing that when turning on the shower, I would see tiny little grainules of dirt or whatever in the first burst of water.
I checked the refill line inside the toilet reservoir and there was no blockage. but when I went to increase the pressure from the in-flow line at the base of the toilet, the flow stopped completely. when I applied pressure to the main connection to the wall, I could hear water inside and even got a tiny little spray. is there blockage in there perhaps? have a few of these little clumps collected and formed a mass perhaps? where should I look for the main valve to shut this off so I can take it apart and inspect it?
it's the 4th of july weekend and I don't want to have to wait for the property management to show up to look at it. is this something I can fix myself? help! it's my only bathroom!
thanks,
jrm
