toilet tank no water.

[daku]

hey guys

just moved into a new property and flushed the toilet for the 1st time and all was fine.

few hrs later tried to flush again and it wont happen. There water doesnt seem to be flowing in the tank. Filled up the tank manually using a jug and the toilet flushed fine.

so no water is reaching the tank?? any solutions

much appreciated. thanks

water from taps seem to be working fine.

Is there a valve underneath the toilet or is the inlet valve stuck? Is it a ball float or a little plastic thing?

Is there an isolator underneath or anything? Welcome to the forum

hey guys,

not at the property at the moment, as far as im aware there is no ball pump in the tank. could the previous owners have turned water to the toilet off somehow? . will take picture once im there

Can you post a picture of the pipe under the cistern that feeds the black thing?

 

[daku]

ill try jc

anyone know where i may find the feed to check if its on?

thanks

 

[Whl4852]

Well it'll more than likely be on the pipe that's under the cistern, maybe not exactly right under. Look in boxing etc. a picture would help...

 

[PlumbBobBob]

have a look under the cistern on the side that the black fill valve is, you will see a pipe joined to it. is there a silver valve fitting on the pipe? like this
if there is, make sure the slot in it is going up-down not right-left.

thanks, ill check when im at the property
