Toilet would nt stop flowing. Watched this video and took off the plastic screw and refitted it as shown and it solved the problem that had been driving us mad! Many thanks for all your help. I agree with M Paton regarding why is there no SIAMP stamp on the toilet to show which system it was!

Andy Macpherson did you have to isolate the water inlet first? as mine is hidden behind toilet and unable to access as it would mean completely removing the whole toilet, also main water stop tap is broken and i don't fancy going out into the street to switch off all water supply.

Worked a treat when I unscrewed seal a bug had gotten between the seal preventing the water stopping well worth a try very easy to do. Thanks for video

Thanks for this. My cistern was filling very slowly with just a thin spray from the outlet. I checked the rubber grommet and it was clogged with limescale; once cleaned and put back the cistern filled properly, the whole job took about ten minutes.

what helped me is after initial screwing of the cap, I opened the water, and then I was able to tighten the cap a bit more until the water around the cap stopped, thank you your video was very helpful, mine is fixed

Toilet failed to refill, just a stream coming from the plunger in the float which didnt do anything much. I removed the seal completely, reassembles the mechinism without the seal then turned the water to check its flowing. That was good, so replaced the seal (£3.70 from screwfix) and reassembled. Its working perfectly now, although the float needed a small adjustment so that it refilled upto the previous fill mark. Overall, it was very simple to sort once i watched the vid..

had a hissing toilet and eventually (and luckily) stumbled on this video. Thanks for posting it, as it helped enormously. However...almost a fiver for a new washer via plumb centre seems steep, but it has down the job. Plus... I wonder why SIAMP can't stamp SIAMP somewhere obvious on their parts, so non-plumber experts can at least determine the manufacturer rather than having to plough through the Internet.

Siamp is written on the float itself...

I had this problem a few weeks back bought the spare part Diaphragm from Amazon couple of quid, however managed to make a running repair by finding the perforation in the diaphragm and using contact adhesive and a cocktail stick to seal the air leak (or water?). did the job and still working spare part still sitting in the tool box!

Replaced washer bit just kept on filling and running through overflow, replaced complete bottom fill valve, no more Siamp for me I’m afraid!

I am not sure if you had the same issue as me the hinge locator was not moving, it should have some play otherwise the tank overflows as the hinge locator when it moves up with the water level rising should close the inlet valve. Anyways now you have replaced the entire thing it's history.

Our toilet kept running after refitting as directed. At about 1min 45 have a look at the little notch cut out at the top of the screw thread, there is a little piece that has to go into the notch to ensure that the seal is made. As ours is built in that bit was not visible working in confined space. Only when we took it all out did we notice that, once we connected the notched bit correctly the seal worked

Thanks Gillian! Even though I had lined everything up prior to screwing on the assembly, when I rotated the screw head, it kept knocking off the notch on the seal from the assembly. After many frustrating attempts, I came on here, read Gillian's advice and with ensuring the notch is in line at all times it made sure that the seal did it's job and all is well. :-)

Doing it this way does not seat the seal properly inside on mine, i have to position it in with the nut completely off and then thread the nut over the arm and into place while holding the seal in. did not know you could unclip the arm tho, thanks for that.

Found your infor very useful, have now changed the washer, old one was split, but the slow flowing cistern still persists. Any advice on what to do next?
