My toilet seems to fill every 10 minutes. Whats wrong?
When a toilet flushes on its own, the flush valve is probably not seating properly and water is leaking into the bowl. This leakage can be as simple as the lift chain being tangled. If it is the valve, the flapper needs to be addressed. Scale deposits can form on the seat, and if this happens, it can be cleaned with steel wool or #500 abrasive paper. The valve seat needs to be cleaned as well. If there are still leaks, the seat or the flapper is damaged and you will need to replace it.
