About two years ago I fitted a Torbeck bottom entry toilet valve which has worked perfectly until last night.
I noticed the carpet at the rear of the toilet was damp and began searching for the source of the leak to no avail. Later last night I used the toilet and when I went to flush it something didn't sound right and water was pouring down the back of the cistern. Lifting the lid it was immediately apparent that something sudden/dramatic had happened to the valve.
Instead of water flowing through the clear tube into the cistern it was "spraying" out of the anti-syphon valve (or at least that's what I think you call it). The force of the flow was spraying water between the cistern and the lid, hence the leak and damp floor.
Any ideas why it's suddenly doing this? Does my description of events even makes sense?
