only 2" water in cistern flushing

[Nath911t]

I had a plumber fit a dudley duo turbo 88 flush syphon a while ago and it only seems to lose about 2 inches of water at the best of times, if that, which will probably explain why I've had to put my arm round the u bend to dig out the toilet paper thats been trapped there.

Seen as hes ignored my phone calls, I'll mail what I pulled out for him just to say thanks

Oh and the water level is up to where the mark was before he'd changed it over

Any idea guys

they have holes down the bottom of the syphon and you remove the blanking bung to different positions depending on the lts of flush you want.

I should of known better to have him do this especially when he messed up the pipework so the hot water flushed the toilets

Thanks for your help, much appreciated

yes check what one it is in by the sounds of it the bottom one is open.
if both holes are blocked you get a full flush.

I've just checked it and both the bungs in the bottom are in. theres one right at the top or at least a hole is and when you put your finger over the hole it empties like it should do. The problem is I dont really want to have to put mu finger over the hole every time I want to flush the loo

Stating obvious here remove bottom bung and put it in top hole . Syphon wont stop till water reches bottom hole . or bung it up with a wee spot o silicon.

This is exactly the problem I've just had. I found this post, went home and checked the siphon and the top bung had fallen out and was floating in the water. Thanks for the advice, it's saved me getting the plumber out to fix it.
