Thanks, yes it's stopped.
It sounds like you're uncomfortable with using the toilet shutoff valve too much. Does doing so increase chances of failure? The only time i use it is to change something in the toilet (i.e. replace flapper, or replace ball and cock with Fluidmaster float mechanism).
In the future, is it better just to shut off entire house? Thanks.
I would just shut off the water at the toilet. Shouldn't have to do it that often.
