We have just fitted a new toilet with a modern ball valve which doesn't look like a ball valve at all. Our water pressure is low because we have a private water supply, so no mains pressure. We cannot work out how to adjust the flow of water, there seems to be a tiny hole through which the water comes in. Can anyone help PLEASE.

Can you post a pic of the ball valve which does not look like a ball valve?
Does this help at all?

Don't recognise it. 
What make is it?
That hole in the small "pipe" sticking out of the side at the top does look very small? Is that where the water is coming from?

I'm afraid it has no make on it. No writing at all. It came with the toilet, but the fitting instructions were for an old fashioned ball valve! No, the water comes through a tiny hole in the top. It really doesn't look like it can be adjusted. Might just have to buy another one! Thanks for trying to help
very funny!
It's a Fluidmaster type fill valve. 411plumb.com and a Fluidmaster site with diagrams should make it a little more clear. However, why this valve would be sold with a modern UK cistern i dont know. As you will see, you req. an overflow tube and a flush valve and a re-fill tube - typically not how top-button flush, drop valve cisterns now operate.
thats a watermark fill valve. made in china.
