noisey toilet

[adrianfs1]

hi guys looking for some suggestions,
have toilet that when flushed and starts to refill , makes a noise like a horn, any suggestions.

you will have to llok at reducing the flow to the toilet

The service valve may help if you turn it down a touch

Can see it beeing the fill vlave though creating a horn sound

It could be there's debris in the float valve, easily fixed, shut your water off, dismantel the float valve and clean out any crap..... taaa dahhhh!

good luck

Usually means a new fill valve.

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

get a part 4 and it will be quieter

When you have the float valve stripped down,grease all the moving parts with silicone grease or vaseline.

iv fitted more fluid masters lately and have not had any issues yet....

Thanks for the gen guys, turned out when i stripped the fill valve the diaphram was not seated correctly or had moved, reseated it and now seams fine.
