Help!! - I live in Spain in a rented property. My landlord expects me to pay for repairs. The old cistern had a side arm and inside it had a traditional ball cock system. It stopped working and the landlord brought in his plumber and the plumber replaced the ball cock, and lever with a push button (on the side where the leaver had been) and a contraption similar to the one you show here, connected by a length of tubing (?) the pushing of the buttons results in the water flushing the bowl but then it remains in the dropped position and of course water escapes into the bowl until you open up the lid and push the inside (shuttle) down by hand. We were told they didn't make ball cocks and levers any more, so have to have this system ( 🤔 huh? ) and the landlord won't replace the cistern with a new one. I'm damned if I want to keep paying for this but I need it to work - please advise what I should do 🙏🏻

If anyone watches this and it doesn't work ... I have a solution. This exact model of toilet. The toilet was constantly flushing, and I knew this behaviour from another toilet - the diaphragm was ruptured ... a £5 fix But, why was the previous diaphragm ruptured? I couldn't care. I replaced the part and it seemed to work fine ... for one day Maybe I hadn't put it in right? I tried again - and it seemed to be fine. And then it happened again ... And again ... And again ... ... Eventually, I took the decision to remove the intake valve and inspect it - the KZbin plumbers suggested a simple twist to the left - and off we go ... It didn't work - I twisted to the right and left, and even did the jitterbug ... eventually, it just came off in my hand ... I still don't know how. I inspected the pipe - and my face fell flat on the floor ... A large piece of grit had lodged itself in the tube (that's what's in my water supply!) Even when I had dislodged it previously, and all seemed to be normal, water pressure made it block the tube again. And when it did, the water pressure that escaped around it was so high that it was impossible for the valve to close and stop the toilet continuously filling. A piece of grit in the pipe. No problems since. Hope that helps somebody.

@FixitwithFowler 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for your in-depth comment. It's strange to have grit in your cold water supply. Have you had any work done recently or work in the street that could affect the water supply? The only reason I ask is because the same grit could be entering your boiler, and that is definitely something you don't want to happen.

@@FixitwithFowler Nobody has invaded our water supply since we moved in 10 years ago. The only serious plumbing work we had done was a new boiler, about 5 years ago. The previous one broke down due to water flooding its system We were without hot water for 2 weeks during that winter - mainly because Haart lettings, the agent, pretended to fix the problem and case closed, when all they had done was sent a plumber round to assess the damage. Eventually - even after their fibs about how they had informed the Landlady and were just waiting to hear back from her ... ... the landlady did actually hear about how she might probably need to fork out for a new boiler ... ... she sent her OWN plumber round - and he was superb. I saw him talking to her on the phone ... "yeah - the boiler's gone. They've been without hot water for two weeks!" She instructed her plumber to tell me to bypass Haart completely - and directly come to him if it happened again. But I don't think that's where the grit came from. We suffer from low water pressure - and the guy that came around to change our kitchen taps earlier this year remarked that even hot water was low pressure, suggesting something wrong in the boiler We got through the winter ok - but when the radiators come on, it smells like steaming smelly socks - it's horrible ,, what causes that? (I've looked - there's no smelly socks lodged down the back of any of the radiators!)

Thanks Fowler. I didn't do what you said, your video made me realise my cistern was over filling so I've had a play with the arm that controls the water level and turned it until the water stopped coming out after a flush, then adjusted it up again. Now the water is going to the "fill line" on the back of the toilet. Job sorted! That's a necklace and a toilet I've fixed today.

Great video I have exact same unit but I'm not not cleat what do with the tabs to release the unit. Do i need to pull them out somehow as I turn it? I've tried just turning it but it is not moving and don't want to force it.

Hi, you only need to turn the unit to release it. There are tabs on the side of the unit, but these are just for adjusting the flush levels.

Does anyone have experience with a toilet with double button flush, but the rod connecting the buttons from the action is two halves of a rod. One half for each button. The buttons stopped working, I found out of that. But not a living chance to get the buttons and the rod back together again..

@@FixitwithFowler This is the first time for me to 😳 I've spent hours trying to find out how it works and why it doesn't work now 😅 Because I can get it back together, it just stops working as soon as the buttons are in place. But I'm pretty sure Murphys law are effing with me, so I'll just try to do it the wrong way and maybe it works out 😂

Yes, the inlet valve on the left-hand side would just need adjusting. If you just lift that up, then that would fix it!
