Hi
20180729_104009_resized.jpg


I've had a problem with a toilet cistern - basically it started to continually leak water into the bowl from the cistern. Plumber has been out twice now and the problem has now come back. The last time he came out, he replaced the syphon and it appeared fixed for a few days but has now started again. Dreading calling plumber back for a third time. Own investigations reveal that the flush buttons are sticking - it's a hard water area and the underneath of the button is quite scaled up.

Could these sticking buttons be the cause of water continually going into the bowl, rather than just filling up the cistern and awaiting the next flush?

If so? Can anyone tell me how I get an exact replacement or put up a link for me please?

You'll need to see if there is any branding on the flush mechanism to help identify and also some dimensions of the hole in the cistern lid and length of push button rods... Yours looks like it's the type that has "snap to length" rods.

There's some options here that will help you with matching...

Leave the lid off the cistern and see if it still leaks water into the bowl. Water level might be set too high.

The lid has been off for over a week now. It works perfectly fine when not using the button, and just flushing it manually.
 
Thank you. It certainly looks like it.

The toilet is only three years old, so I'd be surprised if it is disconinued.

Would I be better off just completely replacing the whole thing again but with a different push button?

Never, ever, ever ever ever underestimate schit like that.


The very fact that you posted that comment means that the plumbing gods are about to smite you. In the Quantum expanse of the sanitary ware universe, the evil Bog-a-Lumpas can travel back in time and discontinue products for a laugh. Especially on odd and even calendar dates or days ending in 'Y'.


Essentially you are now fecked :LOL:

It was emotional. The hateful thing was even launching fuses across the room at me. :LOL:
