To avoid a cross connection between the water in your toilet tank and the water you drink, make sure the guts of your toilet are properly installed. This is required by the Minnesota State Plumbing Code, section 4715.2150, subpart 2, under Flush Tanks. An improperly installed ballcock requires repair for the Truth in Housing programs in Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Hopkins, and it's considered a hazard in Saint Paul and Maplewood.
This is a very common defect, and the repair usually only takes a few seconds. The diagrams below show what the two most common ball cocks should look like when properly installed, and the video below shows how to adjust a ballcock made by Fluidmaster, which is the most common one used today. Click the diagrams for larger images.

An indispensable piece of the home-sale procedure is setting up your home for inspection. Getting your home reviewed before it has been recorded available to be purchased, known as a prelisting home investigation (normally paid for by the seller), can help speed up your sale as any issues might be tended to preceding shutting. There are a few ways property holders can help their inspections go all the more easily. Allied Property Inspection Services are really professionals.
