I have a newish apartment in a block of 15purpose built units of just over 2 years old. It is for letting, but empty at the moment.
The WC is a ROCA (I’m not sure which model) with a dual push flush button. The cistern has always been very slow to fill.
I have been disputing the water bills so I went to read the meter today and was alarmed to see that the meter was letting water through (I assume that’s what the spinning ‘star’ means on the meter dial !?)
When I got indoors, I found the central (single flush) button was depressed & that there was a trickle of water into the pan. I touched the button & it popped up again, & it looked like the trickle had stopped.
On my way out I checked the meter again, only to find that the ‘star’ was still rotating slowly.
I wanted to look inside the cistern,,,,, but embarrassingly I can’t see how to get the top off !
I am guessing that it contains a flap valve. I’ve not had any dealings with these things ( I was considering putting one in my home cistern,,,,,, until I read some comments on these pages – that put me off them) so don’t know what to look for if I do gain access.
Any ideas please ?
Thanks for reading.
