Fixing My Very Slow Filling Toilet Cistern

Thanks for joining me on the channel, I hope you enjoy & find it useful.

This had been going on for a long time with the cistern taking circa 20 mins to fill, but in the last couple of weeks even an hour wasn’t enough so couldn’t delay this job any longer.

I look forward to your comments & please subscribe.

All you need to do is change the faulty inlet diaphragm. You dont even need to take everything apart

As a site maintenance guy in a school, I am always fixing toilets, I could strip one down and reassemble it blind folded lol

great video as i gone through a similar issue the little inlet valve is the answer £2 on ebay give or take. full system flush and inlet valve dont make £50 i'm going to buy a couple for spares for the future

Check the obvious the washer first before you start taking it apart from underneath, should of known when I seen putting wood filler in before removing all the rot, splicing new piece of timber is the answer

What a cowboy all that when it only takes a £2 membrane wash

What is the name of a top mounted push button cistern?
Thanks anyone know?

Plumbers mate, on a rubber washer, lol

When the diaphragm perishes, parts of it can block the outlet since its such a small hole. Unblock it and renew the seal.
You're welcome.

Looks like tha siamp washer was faulty ie spilt so repair insitu possible - £3 and 10mins, but you now know all else is okay with feed... An all round helpful video post. Cheers.

I don't think you're supposed to use PTFE on plastic fittings...

This is why plumbers are loaded, go the massive long way around before checking the obvious
