I've just fitted a new toilet, back-to-wall with concealed cistern, but the flush valve is leaking into the pan. There is no external leakage. The leak seems to be quite severe - the cistern empties in about 15-20 minutes. I can't imagine that a brand new cistern would have damaged seals or anything like that, so is it something I've done wrong in the installation?
The housing will rotate about a quarter turn. I assume that's just to make positioning of the pushbutton cable easier, or is there a particular position that it needs to be? There are sliders for Full Adjustor and Half Adjustor - I assume these control the volume of water in a flush but could that affect the leak in any way? They can be set between 0 and 10 and they are on the default setting of 0.
I've taken the unit out and obviously will give it a good clean in case any bits of dirt have found they way in, but it all looks clean and pristine to me. It doesn't appear to be possible to get inside the housing so I can't actually see the valve.
