Toilet leak in into pan.

[rocketmanbkk]

Hi Friends,

Looked at a toilet that I was told was overflowing.

It's got a top push button flush - Siamp. It's another one you can twist off.

In looking at it, it's leaking into the pan, not overflowing.

I tried adjusting it, twisting off/on etc. but nothing.

Does it need renewing? Hard to know without seeing it I know.

The inlet valve is ok but it seems that the siphon isn't sealing to the bottom part.

Any thoughts on this one?

Also, basin thread to follow!

Thanks.

It will overflow into the pan if that's the problem but I would Just remove it and check the washers and seat

Thanks for the quick reply. It all looked good to me. No scale, tears etc.

Best to replace it for the price of it ?

 

[rocketmanbkk]

yes, need to fix it somehow. I hope they're not on a water meter!

You can sometimes just replace the lower large rubber washer on siamp. Took one out the other day looked fine until I turned it over. Totally deteriorated.

I've got some spare ones too. Thx

Yes change washer, simple but effective

Sometimes for a temp repair you can get away with flipping the washer over. Saves the customers water bill till you can return with the correct part.

Trouble with this type of washer is they look o.k but they lose flexability just had to change mine easy enough to do and worked a treat.Regards Turnpin
