Troubleshooting
Cistern not filling with water
Ensure the main water supply is turned on. Check that the 15mm BSP connection is secure and not cross-threaded. Verify the float mechanism is not stuck in the down position.
Cistern overfilling or water level too high
Adjust the float level screw counter-clockwise to lower the water level. Ensure the float is moving freely and not obstructed.
Cistern underfilling or water level too low
Adjust the float level screw clockwise to raise the water level. Ensure the float arm is not hitting the cistern wall or mechanism.
Water constantly running into the bowl
Check the float level is set correctly. Ensure the seal at the top of the valve is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.
Valve making noise during filling
Some noise is normal. If the noise is excessive or like hammering, check water pressure and ensure all connections are tight. Sediment buildup can sometimes cause noise.
