carosio Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If the float is at the side of the tower on a short arm then some type of knurled ring should be visible at the end of the arm; if this is unscrewed (can be tight) then the washer (diaphram) will be seated inside. there are 2 or 3 types, B&Q, Wickes etc can have them or Boler's plumbers at Malin Bridge. If the float is concentric around the tower then its one of those American floats, the name escapes me just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If the fault is the inlet valve, wouldn`t that just affect the filling (over filling) of the cistern)? I would be guessing new toilet syphon to remedy. Not expensive (got one in this week) less than £5 from Screwfix for lever type flush. It is the time doing the job that is the issue.

carosio Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Here's a pic. It would be, I haven't seen that one before! See if you can see whether the top unscrews or detaches. If you're lucky enough to have a name on it, then google it for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidneystone Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If water is constantly running into toilet bowl it is usually one of two things. 1. The toilet syphon needs replacing 2. Some toilets don't have an external over-flow so if the water valve is leaking and the cistern just keeps filling then any excess water goes down to the toilet pan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 From the cistern. I'm a pretty practical guy but i can't seem to find a remedy. Does it need a whole new unit ? We rent btw so don't need quotes. Cheers. If you have the rubber flapper valve type the flapper could not be closing completely allowing water to leak through. That's so simplly obvious however I assume that your problem is more technical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satman2222 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Looks the same as mine - I think that top bit should twist off and you will be able to get to the diaphragm, which might just need some dirt removing from it, or it's worn. Similar procedure to Though not quite the same design. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
