Hi All, just joined to ask this question as although it’s nothing major it’s doing my head in a bit! We have moved into a house with a loft conversion with an en-suite and the toilet is a Roca Polo single flush top push button close coupled affair. It works fine but I noticed a tiny water trail at the back of the pan (inside it I mean from where the water is supposed to come from under the rim) so thought I’d change the sealing washer on the flush unit.
I got the original Roca washer, correct one for the single flush, watched a video and saw how to take the top part of the flush unit off by unclicking it all and change the washer, easy. So 10 mins after you flush it there is a drip of water appears from under the rim down the back of the inside of the pan, there is even a small vertical groove cast into the pan for it to run down it seems, and then into the water.
If you comeback 12 hours later that’s one drip/run a minute and 24 hours later once every 100 seconds, but then it never seems to go away, once every 2 mins for ever it seems, or at least the last 2 days. I shut the water off to the cistern and noted the water level, right on the 6 litre line, came back 12 hrs later and it had not moved down one *** papers width. I suppose if I wait a week it might stop but my question is where is the water coming from?
It’s doing my head in a bit as I know most loos run a tiny bit from under the rim for 10/15 mins after you flush then stop but this seems mad. It’s not a lot of water I know, it’s just not knowing is doing my head in.
It’s not draining the cistern at all (done the water turning off twice now overnight for 12 hours each time and the level never moved a fraction either time) so do these Roca loos have some sort of hidden under the rim cut outs, reservoir or gulley in them that holds the water unseen under the rim or cistern/pan join from the flush water which ever so slowly drips out?
My simple thinking is if the water level is not going down it’s not leaking past the flush washer or main washer that seals the unit to the cistern, so why does it drip so long? It is not lost on me that this is a pretty minor issue and it seems stupid to ask, but please can someone put me out of my misery!!!
Thanks, Steve.
