Hi all, Frustratingly this is something I've done on other toilets, but either too many blows to the head, of the mysteries of time have stumped me on this one. I've bought a Fluidmaster Bottom-Entry Lever & Fill Valve Cistern Pack to replace an aging float valve system that was making a lot...

Hi I have a wall mounted internal cistern. It's less than a year old. It's filled by a monsoon pump from the hot press usually, but at night we turn the pump off to stop the noise. Anyway, two nights ago the cistern just stopped filling. I can reach in and move the float up and down but no...
