Construction and repair by own hands

Why water does not get into the tank. Why does the stylalka not pick up water in the drum and what should I do?

How often do household appliances break down in your home? Most likely, this kind of trouble happens at least once a month. Of course, the number of failures directly depends on the accuracy of the treatment, but with some devices, even with the most careful behavior, damage can not be avoided. First of all, this applies to sanitary ware, especially such an important element as a toilet bowl. Despite the constant improvement of the filling tank filling, its design remains fragile enough and often fails for a variety of reasons. That the malfunctions in the tank work did not turn into a problem, you need to learn these reasons to identify and eliminate.

Everyone faced the problem of lack of water in the toilet bowl

The most frequent trouble, according to experts, are interruptions in the supply of water to the tank.  Simply put, one day the water stops being recycled and the drainage becomes impossible. There can be many sources of this problem, but you can only identify a specific reason by getting acquainted with the design of the drain tank. This will help you determine what the problem is and repair the device yourself without having to pay for plumbing services.

General characteristics

In the basis of the functioning of the drain tank is the good old law of gravity, thanks to which the amount of water recruited into the tank and a predetermined amount of water after pressing the button descends to the riser at high speed, and then goes to the sewer. Specialists call the interior of the tank shut-off valves. It is she who assumes the function of controlling water flows, in simple terms - filling the tank and draining the liquid.

The first thing you can see under the lid of the toilet tank is the float, from which the drainage mechanism begins. In the tanks of the older sample, this element was placed horizontally, but in due course its arrangement was made vertical.

The float is needed to control the level of the collected water. With the push of the drain button, the water drops and the float falls with it, after which the valve opens. Float valves differ in their location: they are lateral and lower.
  Also in the device there is a whole system of draining and overflow. It consists of a flexible and rigid connector, a steel pipe, a cast iron corner, a winding and a lock nut. When the tank is full, its tightness is ensured by a rubber gasket, and a special washer presses it against the body. Do not forget about such an important detail as a filling valve - it regulates the amount of water and serves it as needed.

Simple toilet design

In the end, all this works in this way: when a sufficient level of water is collected, the float floats upward, lifting the rocker behind it. It, in turn, turns, pressing the valve with the gasket, blocks the access of water. In order to adjust the maximum level of the liquid, the rocker simply arches.

As the trigger mechanism is a button on the lid of the toilet, or a chain in the side of the body. The button is found more often, since installing the tank on the toilet seat is the simplest and most compact option. It is convenient in that, if necessary, it is possible to reach the internal structure, just by lifting the lid. If the tank is mounted on a wall closer to the ceiling, it is equipped with a lever with a chain. With a toilet, this tank is connected by a long armature, and this design gives the most powerful head of water. Nevertheless, the suspension tanks are rapidly losing popularity due to their not very pleasant appearance. There is another third, most modern option - a drain button, mounted in the wall. This solution looks very aesthetic and helps to save space, because it implies a drain tank, also built into the wall. Minus consists in the complicated installation of the product and the impossibility of quick access to the filling of the tank, if you suddenly need to fix any problem.

To date, except for the manual trigger mechanism, there are tanks that work independently, without outside interference. Of course, such a design breaks down less often, but it costs incomparably more.

Now that we know the main characteristics, as well as the types of drain tank designs, we can consider the reasons why water does not flow into the reservoir.

Types of breakdowns

So, the plum has ceased to work and you have a reasonable question "why does not the water come into the tank?". Still not knowing the source of the problem, it is better to stock up with universal tools just in case: a wrench and any sharp object (the nail is quite suitable).


Toilet bowl construction

Here are the main reasons why water is not collected in the toilet bowl:

    1. No water supply. Yes, as it is not trivial - in the first place, just in case, it is necessary to check the availability of water in the whole house, maybe the crane is blocked and the mechanism of the tank is absolutely nothing to do with it.
    2. Skewing of the float. The simplest action is to check the correct position of the float or valve. Here you just need to fix the float a bit, so that it will go back to its original position. If this did not help, then it's not the float valve.
    3. Clogging in the branch pipe. The blockage happens in the event of a change in the pipeline and a temporary shutdown of the water - then its composition changes noticeably and the presence of rust can be seen with an unaided eye. In order to check if the connection with the reservoir is not clogged, first you need to turn off the water supply to the tank, and then release the hose that connects the tank and the water supply system. The next step is to check the water supply through this hose. If it is missing, the cause is a blockage and using a long sharp object you need to carefully clean the junction. Then connect the hose back and check if water is being collected.
    4. Rust in the filter. Sometimes water stops coming from the fact that under the hose nut gets the scale and over time the pressure weakens, and then the tank and does stop typing. In this case, you need to extract, rinse and clean the filter, if any.
    5. Pollution of the float. When the inlet valve belongs to the sample of the category "economy", the float that ascends along the guide floats over time with mucus, bloom and ceases to perform its basic function. Here, remove the float mechanism and clean all rubbing surfaces well.
    6. Depreciation of the exhaust valve. If your tank is installed long enough, the float mechanism could simply wear out. In this case, you need to replace the exhaust valve, and you can also hold it yourself - it's up to you.
    7. Leakage. Sometimes the water just does not have time to get into the tank, because it immediately flows into the toilet itself, without holding it in the tank. For the same reason, ugly rusty stains are formed on the inside of the bowl, and the consumption of the bottle is at a rapid pace, which entails additional costs. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the siphon membrane, which, when worn, loses its ability to seal the hole sealed. You need to wash the water out of the reservoir, remove the siphon, change the membrane to the correct one and fix the siphon back to its original place, screwing the fasteners.
    8. Adjustment of the intake tract. Sometimes, if the system is too tightly assembled, the water is collected extremely slowly. Then you have to weaken a certain element, which one - only the plumber can tell, so that the pressure will normalize.

If you are not sure of the performance of any particular details of the mechanism, it is better not to try to fix them as soon as possible to change to a new, even more so that the shut-off valve is mere penny. In the event that partial repairs did not bring the desired result, it is necessary to repair a more global one, namely, a complete replacement of the entire drainage mechanism. It is not difficult to do this with your own hand, provided that you have a detailed diagram of the device of the tank, detailed instructions, and preferably a clear video lesson.


Replace broken parts easily enough

Replacement

In order to change the reinforcement, it must be selected correctly. Pay attention to the differences between your old mechanism and the new one, for example, the lining may be lower or lateral. Consult with the consultant which design is more suitable for your particular case.

When the necessary parts are purchased, you can start the installation:

  1. To begin with, we cut off the water supply to the toilet bowl.
  2. Delete the buttons: you need to unscrew them carefully.
  3. Remove the lid of the tank.
  4. Disconnect the pods
  5. Then you need to remove the drain column. Do it preferably in parts: first, the first part is dismantled by a 90-degree rotation, then the second.
  6. After we unscrew the fastener tank.
  7. Disconnect the tank and place it in a place convenient for further work.
  8. The next step is to unscrew the two nuts: the fastening of the valve and fastening the column. Then we get the second, the rest of the armature.
  9. We mount a new mechanism and do the reverse work, installing the reservoir in place.

It happens that after all these actions the tank still works malfunctioning. Here the design certainly needs to be checked by a professional who will make an accurate diagnosis and determine the price of the repair. Sometimes the reason may be a banal repair in a neighboring apartment - in this case, the problem with the supply of water may be present not only in you.

It can be concluded that the malfunctioning of the interior of the tank is not a tragedy at all, but simply a matter requiring a competent solution. And nevertheless, in cases of serious breakdowns, it is better not to get involved in excessive self-activity, but immediately turn to a specialist.

One of the faults in the toilet is a condition where water does not enter the toilet bowl. Such a problem requires an immediate solution, as it can lead to a significant deterioration in the hygiene of the bathroom and cause an unpleasant odor.

Constructive elements and conformity to the interior

Bathroom, toilet and kitchen are almost the most technically equipped rooms in a modern apartment. Each of them makes it possible for a person to feel maximum comfort when performing certain actions, be it cooking or bathing procedures. In the conditions of modern realities, the toilet is an important part of the sanitary and hygienic arrangement. Its functionality and practicality adds comfort to a person's life, greatly simplifying it.

However, even in spite of its universality and effectiveness, sometimes there are cases that can deliver a lot of negative emotions to a person. We are talking about a variety of failures and defects, of which absolutely no one is immune. One of the similar problems is the situation when water is not collected in the toilet bowl. In order to understand the cause of this problem, it is necessary to first consider the design of the device and understand why it functions. The modern toilet is composed of the following parts, which determine its high efficiency and attractive shape:

  • cistern;
  • ceramic bowl;
  • side water supply;
  • exhaust valve;
  • flush lever;
  • float;
  • overflow pipe;
  • flap valve;
  • flushing gutter;
  • siphon;
  • drainage of water.


It is this design that makes it possible for the toilet bowl to collect and store the required amount of liquid necessary to ensure a full flush of the products of human vital activity.

In this case, a large number of parts of the system and their fragility are often the main cause of the formation of various breakages that violate the work of the toilet.

The principle of the toilet and its possible breakdowns

Why does the tank get badly water? The operating principle of the drain mechanism is quite simple. When flushing is carried out, the float drops to the bottom of the barrel, opening access to water, which starts to flow into it.

During filling, the liquid lifts the float together with a special rubberized bridle, which at a certain point hermetically seals its access. The next wash removes all the water in the toilet and the process starts again. As you can see, the principle of the modern toilet is quite simple, but its design is quite sensitive, which inevitably affects the functionality of the device. At the same time, mechanical damage is an insignificant part of the total number of malfunctions.

In most cases, the root cause of failure is the poor quality of the material from which the drainage mechanism is made and the structure of the water.


Proceeding from these factors, the following breakdowns can occur, which cause the fact that the liquid slowly enters the tank or stops collecting:

  • lack of water supply;
  • displacement of the float;
  • formation of blockage in the branch pipe;
  • accumulation of rust in the filter;
  • contamination of the float;
  • functional wear of the exhaust valve;
  • insufficient sealing of the units of the device.

If the tank is not filled, then the reason for this state is likely to lie in one of the above factors. In this case, each of them is a consequence of the manufacturer's negligent attitude to the device or the result of insufficient cleaning of the liquid entering the system.

Drain fault characteristic

When water is not collected in the toilet bowl, the problem can only be eliminated by manually cleaning a particular part or completely replacing it. In this case, and in that, and in another case, you have to disassemble the drain mechanism because the eye is difficult to determine the problem.

The skewing of the float is a fairly common condition, which can occur either as a result of mechanical action on the drainage mechanism, or as a result of a water shut-off. In the latter case, at the time of its supply, an excessive pressure is generated, which can lead to a violation of the position of the float.

A variety of blockages and pollution occur when exposed to insufficiently filtered water. Unfortunately, a similar factor is not so rare. Especially bright it manifests itself in those moments when repair work is carried out on the line. In this case, a large amount of dirt enters the system, leading to a violation of the sealing of the units and blocking the operation of the entire mechanism. In addition, insufficient filtration of the liquid can lead to sticking of mucus on both the float itself and the rest of the device.

Wear of the whole mechanism can also be the reason that the tank does not gain water. In particular, such a factor is manifested in the case of savings in the production of toilet. Low-quality plastic, which is often installed on Chinese structures, very quickly fails, deforming or cracking. The result of this process is obvious, and it consists in the fact that the liquid is poorly filled into the drainage mechanism, and in due course can cease to act at all.

Each of these problems requires a complete disassembly of the device and involves not only its diagnosis, but also a thorough cleaning and even replacement of some parts, and even the whole mechanism as a whole.

During the repair of the toilet, the installation of the toilet bowl is usually done carefully. This plumbing component is the main element of sanitation facilities. Nevertheless, even a correctly installed installation and compliance with all the requirements do not guarantee the appearance of various malfunctions in the device operation over time. Most often there are such problems with operation, as a breakdown tank. Sometimes the owners notice that the toilet bowl does not gain water at all or the liquid enters the system too slowly. Often such a malfunction can be easily eliminated by hand. The models of sanitary ware produced in our time allow owners to repair the toilet tank without resorting to the help of professional masters.

Before repairing the toilet flush tank, you should understand the general principle of its operation and be aware of the device from the inside.

Flush tank assembly

Today there is a wide range of different designs for draining water into the sewer, but they all have the same mechanism and principle of operation. The main nodes of such structures are a device for recruiting water and for its descent into the bowl of a toilet bowl. For flushing on cisterns, usually a button or lever is provided. It can be on the cover or side of the device.

The drain tank is sometimes installed at a certain distance from the toilet bowl along the vertical. In this situation, the tank is connected to the plumbing using pipes. This type of construction allows you to increase the strength of the flow of washable water.

In some models, the elements of the drainage system for draining are hidden behind a special decorative screen or combined in one design with the bowl. At the same time, whatever configuration the drain tank has had, its device remains unchanged.


Drain toilet bowl

The main functions of the product are as follows:

  • water is recruited into the system to a certain level or level, malfunctions in the details of this device are often the reason that water is not being collected in the toilet bowl;
  • the discharge of water into the bowl must be fully or partially discharged.

The main points of the device during filling it with water:

  1. That after the descent of water, its flow into the tank resumed, the float must work effectively, which is fixed at the end of the lever.
  2. After pressing the button, the float is lowered, opening a special hole for water supply.
  3. When the water completely fills the system to the desired level, the float rises again and closes the fluid inlet.

Today, devices are produced in which water is supplied from below. This is very convenient, since it significantly reduces the noise level during filling the tank. However, such designs have a more complex device and are much more expensive than conventional budget analogs.

In devices of the old model, a similar drain principle was used. A hole for water drainage covered a piece of rubber like a pear or a special valve. The lever, protruding from the structure, was connected to the body by a chain. To carry out the flushing, it was necessary to press the lever and he opened the drain hole.


Cistern. Inside view

If you are wondering why there is not enough water in the toilet bowl or is very slow, first of all, you need to check this component for a malfunction. Sometimes a significant amount of fluid simply flows through the drain, which is loosely closed. Further in this article we will consider ways of solving this problem.

Such designs are simple, they do not have a lot of small moving parts. If this system breaks down, you can easily repair it yourself. The toilet bowl in your bathroom will again work like a new one.

However, in newer models of toilets, another type of locking mechanism is being installed. Such fittings have the function of adjusting the flushing force or the volume of the drained water. Outwardly, the device is a double button, each half of which allows you to drain water with different pressure.

Technology of the waste tank repair

Water enters the drainage system from the water pipe, passing through a flexible hose. After the tank is fully filled, the floating float closes the membrane and blocks further fluid access. When you press the button or release the lever, the rubber pear goes up and the water pours out, washing the bowl.

It is these parts that usually break down, and then no water enters the toilet bowl or the device constantly flows. In this case, it is not necessary to immediately prepare for the replacement of the sanitary ware. Often it is quite easy to buy a new hose or other construction element.


Hoses for water supply to the tank

In some situations, you can do with the usual regulation of the water supply or replace the drainage system.

In order to repair a faulty drain tank, you need to prepare such tools:

  • sharp and long rod or nail;
  • adjustable wrench.

Step-by-step instruction

First, it is necessary to exclude the wrong position of the valve or the float. These parts can move slightly. If there is a skew, you should remove the lid from the toilet bowl and gently correct these items by hand, putting them in place. Often performing these simple steps is sufficient to troubleshoot the problem.


Adjusting the flush tank components

If this does not help, a minor repair will be required.

How to fix the situation if the system does not receive water

Before starting the repair, the tank closes the tap water in the system. Then perform the following steps:

  1. Unscrew the hose using a wrench, connecting the tube for water supply to the tank, and check the free flow of liquid.
  2. Eliminate existing clogging. This should be done when the water passes through the hose, but does not fill the tank. Contamination can be in the nozzle or the place of its articulation with the drainage system. This area is cleaned with a nail or any other long sharp object.
  3. After that flexible hose is connected back to the tank  and check whether the container is filled with water.

Repair of float

Malfunctions of this part, as a rule, are of two types: the float does not feed water to the system at all or completely does not block its flow. The causes of the problems are usually either in the float itself or in the valve. The structure of the float can be different. They produce models of sanitary ware, in which this detail is hollow inside. There are also floats, reminiscent of the shape turned upside down a glass. The first option is much more often stops functioning normally, since water can enter it. In this case, you can correct the situation only with the complete replacement of the locking mechanism. The second version of the float is somewhat more convenient to operate, however, over time, dirt accumulates on it and it can also fail. It is easy to fix the problem - it is enough to rinse this component of the system well enough.


Float in the mechanism of the drain tank

Locking hardware or a valve that restricts water supply stops cope with its functions due to contamination of the membrane or holes that allow water to pass through. To repair these parts, the float is dismantled. To remove the membrane, it is necessary to remove the protective cap by slightly turning it. All the membrane channels are thoroughly rinsed, and then put the part in place and screw the cap back on again. However, it is often advisable to replace the membrane. Usually, this spare structural element is included when buying a new float.

Adjusting the float

To adjust the position of the float, you need to perform a number of simple manipulations. It is necessary to fill the drain tank and trace the level to which water reaches. The liquid should be located three to four centimeters below the side openings of the tank. In some drain systems such lumens are not provided. Then pay attention to the body of the drainage device - the liquid should lightly cover it.


Repair and adjustment of the float

The required level of water in the reservoir can be obtained by raising or lowering the float. Having lifted this element of the system, you can increase the weight of the water that is recruited, and by lowering it, you reduce the amount of liquid. Adjustment is carried out with a special screw or rail (the second option is often found in inexpensive models of sanitary ware).

Troubleshooting a Drainage Device

The trouble that arises from the failure of the drainage mechanism is basically reduced to the continuous flow of water into the bowl of the toilet bowl. There are several reasons for this:



A leak may also occur at the junction of the tank with the toilet bowl. Such problems are eliminated by replacing all gaskets and rubber seals for fasteners or screws. To do this, the reservoir tank should be removed.


Disassembly and repair of the waste tank

If the failure occurred in the details of the locking mechanism, then it is necessary to replace all the failed components or buy a new shut-off valve.

As you can see, the device of the drain tank of different toilet models is the same, has a fairly simple principle of operation. If we understand the mechanism of action of all parts of the drain system, it will not be difficult to carry out current repairs. You can easily troubleshoot with your own hands. It is important only to notice the failure in time and solve the problem of the faulty tank.

There are circumstances when the water in the toilet tank is not being recruited or is too slow and too bad. In this case, you should first find the source of the malfunction (perhaps, a non-serious factor), and then eliminate the problem as soon as possible. Moreover, sometimes such an incident can occur in absolutely nonsense situations.

In what cases and why is it possible that the water in the toilet bowl is not received or recruited? The reasons can be as follows:

  • No water supply. First of all, it is important to check this version. After all, sometimes it happens that they block water around the house, and a person will look for a malfunction.
  • Wrong float position (skewed).
  • Damage.
  • Clogging of the place where the hose is connected to the tank. Usually this happens after repair work in the pipeline, when the hole is clogged with sand.
  • Deterioration of the intake valve in the mechanism.
  • Presence of rust in the filter.
  • A tightly assembled system of sanitation.
  • Formed mucus and plaque.

Methods of repair

Skewing of the float

Fixation should be carried out after the source is installed, due to which no liquid is supplied. If the liquid does not concentrate in the right place due to the skewing of the float, then it is easy to fix this circumstance: it is enough to correct a little buoy, so that he took his former position.

Damage to the supply hose

If a person thinks that the etiology of a malfunction in the damage to the supply tube, he should check this hypothesis. To this end, detach the hose, determine it in any capacity (for example, in a bucket) and turn on water.

If the liquid does not spill, then the fault is in the handset. To fix the situation, you should buy a new hose, which you then need to install.

Clogging the valve

If it is suspected that the toilet bowl does not pick up water due to clogging, it is important to first turn off the water supply, and then get the hose that connects the tank to the water supply system. Then check the water supply through the tube. If it does not, then the matter is in the blockage of the place where the hose is connected to the drainage device.

In this case, it is worthwhile to get a long, stiffened wire and to clean the junction site by slightly opening the valve in order to make the debris left.

After the volume of water has been preserved and the course has been adjusted, more 2 times open and close the valve. This is necessary to make sure that the residues of the slag are completely removed from the valve. Then the valve must be assembled in the open with the valve closed. The final stage is to open the tap for water supply and adjust its level by bending the lever.

Blockage in the sink

  1. First it's worth to look under the pear. And if the problem is there, pull the garbage with your hands.
  2. If the foreign body gets into the sink, you need to use tweezers and to try to remove the clutter.
  3. If you do not remove the clogging through the tank, the device needs take apart.

The deposits on the walls of the drainer can be removed with the help of a special chemical, which is easy to buy in stores where plumbing is sold. When the sink has been safely cleaned, it is necessary to assemble the device and install it in its original place. The components have been strongly twisted, then it will be enough for a person to solve this problem by weakening the details.

A frequent factor, because of which the drain tank does not gain water - the intake valve was initially poor. Then, regardless of whether the side or bottom of the lead, because of the quality of water on the float, plaque and mucus can form. And in the end, the float stops working. Then you need to remove it from the rod and clean it properly.

If the toilet bowl serves for a long time, then it happens that the exhaust valve mechanism simply worn out. In this case, you need to buy a new valve and put it in the device.

Possible consequences

If a person neglects to repair the drainage device and does not look for a reason that does not supply water, this will not end well. In addition, that the owner will harm the equipment of his toilet room, he can also spoil a bathroom  neighbors from the bottom.

The fact is that a tank that does not absorb water can pass it to a device for sending feces through a tube that connects the tank to the toilet bowl. In some cases, the hose itself may leak, which will lead to the flooding of neighbors.

Also, a person who ignores the problem at a time when the water flows too slowly may one day face the fact that the liquid will cease to accumulate at all. Then he will have to rinse the contents with a bucket, which is an uncomfortable and unhappy undertaking.

If the person and after that does not take anything, then soon she will have to acquire a new mechanism  and mount a new device. This, of course, will not only leave money, but time.

You will need

  • - adjustable wrench;
  • - a nail;
  • - carabiner wrench;
  • - drainage mechanism;
  • - sealing gasket;
  • - stop valve;
  • - rope;
  • - a bag of sand.

Instructions

If water does not get in the tank and in order to wash the toilet, you have to collect water in the bucket and drain it, as soon as possible solve this annoying problem. To do this, unscrew the flexible hose that connects the tank to the water supply pipe with the adjustable wrench and check whether water is flowing through the hose.

If the water is flowing, then the problem is not looking in the piping, but in something else: often the cause of the problem lies in the clogging, so take a nail or any other sharp object and clean the junction of the nozzle with cistern.

One of the most common malfunctions - oozing water in the toilet, because of which on its inside appear rusty streaks. If a similar problem is observed in your toilet bowl, try to change the drainage mechanism and the seal as soon as possible. To do this, close the water.

After that, unscrew the carabiner wrench with the fastener connecting the tank to the toilet bowl and change the drainage mechanism and the gasket.

If the shut-off valve of the tank has ceased to hold water, because of which the water simply overflows over the edge of the tank, then the locking mechanism has worn out. Urgent replacement of the shut-off valve and sometimes the float mechanism is required. Close the water, remove the locking mechanism.

Go with him to the nearest sanitary equipment shop (having an old locking mechanism on your hands, it will be easier for you to pick up a new part). Install a new shut-off valve and turn on the water supply.

If suddenly the toilet is littered, push a small bag of sand into it and drain the water: this way you can easily clean the blockage. If the attempt is not successful, use a cable.

The bathroom must always be in good condition, especially for the toilet tank. However, sometimes minor violations can occur in his work, which lead to significant financial losses. For troubleshooting, you can use the services of plumbing or repair yourself.

You will need

  • diaphragm, float valve, float, silencer, stabilizing valve

Instructions

Recover the skewed float arm. Set the lever to the horizontal position, about 2.5 cm below the intake inlet pipes  .Change the membrane. Release the water from the flush toilet bowl  , remove its cover, replace it with a crossbar, for example from wood  , tie the float lever to it. Unscrew the fixing nut that connects the flush pipe  to the tank. Loosen the siphon nut in the bottom of the flush tank. Disconnect the siphon from the water release lever, pull it out. Install a new membrane of the same size. Collect the valve armature toilet bowl  in reverse order.

Replace the float, it can be damaged and let the water inside yourself. If at the moment there is no spare, then remove the water from the float, fill the hole in it with heated plastic or wrap it in a plastic bag, tightly tying it around the float lever. Fill the float valve. To do this, replace the damaged or worn gasket that is in the piston valve  (installed in older models), or a membrane in the diaphragm valve (protects the flushing valve tank   from mechanical impurities  in water, is installed in new models). Make a membrane of hard rubber, the thickness of which should be from 1.5 to 2 mm. The size should exactly match the old membrane.

Replace the float valve. Remove water from the toilet flush tank. Unscrew the nut key  The shaped part that connects the supply pipe water supply  with float valve flush tank. Disconnect the float arm. Remove the outer and inner fixing nuts. Remove the float valve. Install the new flush tank float valve. Attach the float arm to the valve. Fill with flushing water tank. Fix the float arm in the desired position.

Attach a silencer (plastic flexible tube) to the float valve. This is necessary if the washing tank  filled with excessive noise. Install the muffler at the entrance to the float valve vertically above the water level. Lower its end lower in water, thereby the noise will decrease. Place a stabilizing float valve. This is necessary when the pressure in the float valve is very large and the muffler has no effect.

note

Float valves can differ in design, but the principle of their operation will be the same.

There are three types of float valves: for strong, medium and low water pressure. In a residential building, float valves are installed for low water pressure.

Helpful advice

Select the float valve taking into account the water pressure in the pipeline, otherwise if the valve is designed for a weak pressure of water, then at high water pressure it will pass water even in good condition.

  • Basic malfunction of the drain tank

If you have increased water consumption by the meter, there is a constant noise in the bathroom, neighbors complain of the appearance of wet spots on the ceiling, so it's time to check the toilet flushing cistern. Of course, there is nothing to break there. His scheme is very simple and primitive, but how many problems can be solved by making a simple repair or revision of the toilet bowl.

Instructions

Clean the water supply in the tank toilet bowl  . This follows do  when the water does not flow into it. In this case, it can be clogged valve  or a water supply hose. If the water flows and the toilet bowl does not fill, check the valve or float. The latter can be skewed. Carefully place them in the correct position. With any construction toilet bowl principle  he always has one left. Its essence lies in the fact that when you press the drain valve or lever, the pear, closing the drain hole, rises and drains off. For filling and adjusting the water level in the reservoir, the float "watches" the float, which, when lifted, covers it at a certain time with a check valve or, opening it, opens.

Clean the water supply to the toilet bowl. This should be done when water does not enter it. A shut-off valve or a water supply hose may be clogged. If the water flows and the toilet bowl does not fill, check the valve or float. The latter can be skewed. Carefully place them in the correct position.

Replace the locking mechanism, rubber seals and rubber gaskets. This is the most common malfunction of the toilet flush tank, they gradually wear out and let in water. As a result, there may be overflow of water over the edge, because the check valve is not able to keep the water pressure. Replace the check valve. You can also replace it with the float mechanism.
