The toilet is probably one of the most necessary and amazing achievement of human civilization.
If you want your plumbing equipment to work with maximum efficiency, you must periodically monitor it, as well as even the smallest problems in time to eliminate. If you have interruptions with a plum of the toilet, then in the future this will lead to the fact that you have inconvenience of its operation. Although it is possible to eliminate the problem quickly enough and yourself.
How to adjust the plum of the toilet
The drain barrel has 2 main mechanisms.
Filling
This mechanism is responsible for filling water in the tank to a certain level. Typically, the composition of such a device includes a shut -off valve and a float mechanism, t.e. Bottis on a metal or plastic lever. Depending on the water level, the float is lowered or rises, while the lever drives. When raising the float to a certain level, the shutter valve is closed with a lever and the water into the barrel ceases to flow from the water supply. The flow of water is opened due to the fact that the lambing with the lever is lowered down.
Draining
This mechanism is responsible for the drain into the water toilet. The drain siphon lift the handle or the descent lever, and it, in turn, opens access for water. Rubber cylinder, refers to the simplest type of drain siphons. He must provide hermetic closure at the drain opening, then you will not flow water.
How to adjust the plum of the toilet
In order to repair the drain tank, you need to raise its lid. No need to disassemble the wall for repairing intra -wall drain tanks, you just need to remove the button that regulates the drain of water.
Repair a drain tank is a common task for a home plumbing.
Your further actions will depend on the nature of the malfunction. All the details during the repair that you will need to be replaced can be bought at any business store.
Failure in filler reinforcement
With this problem, the following problems are possible:
Water does not step into the barrel. First try to shake and twitch a plastic lever or wire, a float weighs on it. Perhaps your adjustment has simply been violated. Then turn off the water supply valve and unscrew the flexible hose, it connects the water supply to the tank. If there is water flow, then you do not have a hose, then you should change the eyeliner. If it’s not a hose, then clean the place where the tank and the pipe are connected. Then connect everything back. They ate and this did not help you, then change the float valve.
Water flows, but the tank fills it. So you have a violation of the float, you will need to adjust the float mechanism.
Water shimmers over the edge. Check, the float rises or drowns in water. Change it if he drowns. If not, then you need to change the shut -off valve. It can be changed along with the float mechanism.
The filling of the tank is very noisy. At first glance, this is not a serious problem, but if you are filling the barrel at night, then you will constantly wake up. You can eliminate this problem very easily, buy and install a stabilizing float valve.
Malfunction of the drain mechanism
Water leaks from the tank. This problem may occur if the drain mechanism or gaskets that are responsible for the tightness of the washing of the flush to the tank came out of the system. In the first case, turn off the water supply and replace the float mechanism. In the second case, wait for the water to completely merge from the toilet, unscrew the mount from the toilet to the tank and change the gasket.
