cistermiser

plumberkis2 · Dec 1, 2011

I have been to a job today where the cistermiser is constantly flushing and filling the cistern very fast so i turned the stopcock right down to slow the flow into the cistern which is fitted after the cistermiser and it suddenly stopped so i re opened the stopcock and now nothing is happening? It hasnt a infered or pir sensor on it its colour is gray and blue, how does it work and y has it suddenly stopped, if any1 could shed some light on it for me would be great thanks

When someone runs water the pressure change triggers a timed flow into the cistern, If yours has been working fine then suddenly gone off it probably needs a service, Take it off, clean out the filter on the inlet. Re-fit it and screw down the adjustment screw fully, then open it gradually, running a tap quickly to get the valve to flow.

On the model I think you are talking about don't open it up.

I'd just get a new one really.

Make sure you get the correct one, I think there's three different ones for different pressures.

You can re-set them quite easily if they go out of sync. Just do what I said with the adjusting screw. Count the number of turns you wind it in, then wind it back out by the same.
