Usually because there's a kink in your main valve. You need to hire someone immediately if this happens, because it could flood your house.

What causes water to spurt and run inside an 8 year old kohler toilet tank?
typically these two problems are caused by two different things. A running toilet is most commonly caused by a leaking flapper (when you push down on the flush handle a chain lifts the flapper and lets the water escape the tank and "flush' into the bowl.) a water spurt is usually caused by a faulty fill valve (the part in the tank that attaches to the water supply and fills the tank after it is flushed.) with an 8 year old toilet both of these parts would most likely be worn out, either thru age or use.

How do you install a check valve between water pressure tank and water pressure pump?

Which part of a toilet tank assembly is the supply valve for water to the tank?
That is a fill valve and is part of the ballcock system. When someone pulls the lever, that pulls the chain and lifts the flush valve flapper and empties the tank into the bowl. That causes the float to drop, opening the fill valve and allowing water from the supply to enter and refill the tank.
Can you shut off the inflow valve to hot water heater for a day without harming system if so should pressure valve be left open and limited usage of hot water?
If you have a leak on the hot water somewhere in the house and the water input into the tank is not running, the tank will lose it's water. And if it is an electric tank, the elements will burn out. Gas hot water tank should be no problem. Pressure valve does not have to be open.

What is a tricock valve?
It is a small, valve usually used to manually check if water is above the valve connection on a boiler or tank. There may be several of them at different heights on the boiler or tank. There is a handwheel on the valve, an inlet connection (which is attached to the boiler) and an outlet (usually left unconnected). When filling the boiler or tank, the try-cocks can be left open. Water coming from the try-cock means the tank is filled to at least that level. The valve is then closed.
