A few days ago I replaced the old, leaking ball valves/floats on my 2 toilets with new fluidmaster ones. The new ones work great, but seem to have highlighted another problem: after flushing, the toilets are prone to running. With these new, sharper, quicker ballvalves installed, the cisterns will then refill at regular intervals.
Obviously, it points to the siphon not sealing up correctly after the flush. I've had a good mess around with the flap open to check for any debris that may be preventing it from closing properly (I did think that maybe some debris may have got in there after flushing the ball valves through on installation). Thing is, it does stop running sometimes, so it's as if there is a point where a proper seal is created, but achieving this can take several flushes or a bit of messing around with the cistern lid off.
Both toilets are close-coupled and I know how to take the cistern off etc and how to replace the siphons. But if there is an easier solution I'd be keen on doing that. Both toilets have exactly the same type of siphon (it's one with a built in overflow) and I've taken a couple of pics (if anyone recognises the make/model, that'd be good, as I never installed these).
Finally, assuming I need to replace the siphons, where can I get new ones of this (or similar) kind? As you can see from the photos, it's a push-down button cistern, but after a quick look in a couple of DIY places I could only see ones that operate with a chain/lever.
Thanks in advance for any advice...
