Why does my toilet tank empty itself?
Why Does My Toilet Randomly Empty Itself Of Water Without Being Flushed? Most of the time this random occurrence is a result of poor or no venting of the fixture. Vents allow for air flow to the toilet sewage system. Without the vent, air pockets form in the waste branches and can cause what is called back-siphonage.
Why does the water stay in the tank when you flush the toilet?
The water that sits in the tank behind your toilet bowl stays there because of a flapper that seals the tank. Every time you flush the toilet, the flapper is lifted, allowing water to move from the tank and into the toilet bowl. Once the water level of the tank has reached a certain point, the flapper falls back into place, resealing the tank.
