Troubleshooting

Water continuously runs into the cistern

Ensure the float arm is not obstructed and is set to the correct height. Check that the diaphragm inside the valve is properly seated and not damaged. Verify the securing nut is tight.

Cistern is not filling or filling very slowly

Check that the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the inlet for any blockages or debris. Ensure the valve is correctly installed and the connection is secure.

Leaking around the valve's external connection

Tighten the securing nut on the outside of the cistern. Ensure the rubber washer on the inside is present and correctly positioned. Check the integrity of the water supply connection thread.

Valve makes noise during filling

This can sometimes be normal water hammer. Ensure the valve is securely fitted and the water pressure is within normal ranges. Check if any internal components are loose.
