It's a bit noisy and it fills slowly and sometimes fills below what it needs for a proper flush. This is the "new" technology toilet, not the ball float. Could there be a clog in the supply? Does the guts need replacing because the mechanism isn't any longer capability of operating smoothly?

buttugly: By "new," I mean it isn't the old ball float mechanism. The brand name is Toto.

Just a guess, since I don't know what type of filler but it sounds like dirt has gotten inside the thing. Whenever a water pipe in the street breaks dirt always gets inside, can't be helped. Pressure differential type fillers have small holes that turn on and off your fill. Turn water off and remove it, take it apart and clean it out (not hard) replace and see,

That appears like the "Fluidmaster 4 hundred", an extremely primary (and good) alternative fill valve. each and every now and then, debris gets into the valve and stop it from last totally. given which you had to disconnect and reconnect the water furnish to alter the wax ring, it particularly is in all probability what surpassed off. you are able to would desire to replace the fill valve, yet attempt this restoration first: turn off the water furnish, and eliminate the black cap on precise of the fill valve with 1 / 4-turn counterclockwise. eliminate the rubber disk and wipe it clean. carry a cup over the precise of the valve, and open the water furnish valve for a 2nd or 2 to flush the line. (Use the cup to seize the geyser.) Wipe down the precise of the valve, and reassemble. 5 minutes, start to end. If that would not do it, think ofyou've have been given to replace the entire valve. some places sell the rubber disk by using itself; you ought to objective purely changing that.

It sounds like the fill valve is malfunctioning. What brand of toilet do you have? I'm curious about what you mean by "new technology" toilet.
