Blue & Orange syphon not shutting off properly....Help!

[RachH863]

Hi, I have fitted a new one and this hasnt really helped, Ive fiddled about with it and this hasnt really helped so now im completely stuck! Its a closed coupled toilet with an oval shaped push button flush, it flushes ok now but I cant stop the water from trickly into the pan continually. Any help would be magic!

ITs overflowing,just alter the water level in the cistern.

HI there, its not over flowing, it does it even if there is a small amount of water in the cistern

you say you have just fitted it, what make/model or if unknown some pictures would help ;-)

Hi, I stupidly didnt take any pictures and dont know the name of it... It has a blue pole type thing in the middle that pushed up through a white circle and circled around the blue pole is a yellow cup, it also has a sort of float vale type looking upside down cup thing attached near the bottom and at either side two white poles - this is where you can unclip it and change it without taking the cistern off - best I can do im afraid.

if you press down/lift the moving part of the flush valve with a little bit of force can you stop water trickling into the pan manually by holding the flush valve forcibly shut? if so the seal is not sealing as it should. a new one should have sorted the problem. so it might not been attatched properly or damaged?

if all else fails fit a fluidmaster.

A fluidmaster you say? With an oval push button affair? The plumbers merchant said that the above was the only type I could use??

he said that because it's all he had most probably.

No they always have everything in stock, I was pointing to the one i wanted and he said they wouldnt work.....strange
