FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You may need a screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, and a bucket to catch any excess water.

How do I adjust the water level?

Adjust the float arm to raise or lower the water level. Bending the arm will usually adjust the water level.

My toilet is still leaking after replacing the ball float. What should I do?

Check the flapper valve and the fill valve; these are common sources of leaks. Make sure your toilet is not cracked.

Is this ball float suitable for all toilet types?

While designed as a universal replacement, it's best to verify compatibility with your specific toilet model, ensuring the thread size and dimensions are suitable.

What are the dimensions of the ball float?

The ball float is 6" and the thread fitting is 5/16".

How do I know if the ball float needs replacing?

If your toilet is constantly running, not filling up, or if there is leakage, the ball float may need to be replaced.

Where can I find additional help?

If you have any further questions, you can contact the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Toilet is constantly running.

Check the ball float for proper positioning and adjustment. Ensure it's shutting off the water flow at the correct level. If not, adjust the arm or replace the ball float.

Toilet not filling up.

Inspect the ball float for damage or obstructions. Ensure the fill valve is functioning correctly. If the ball float is not moving freely, it may need to be replaced.

Water leaking into the bowl.

Check the flapper valve. If the flapper valve is worn, or if the chain is tangled, it can cause leakage. Ensure the ball float is not causing the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise until the water stops flowing.
  2. Remove the old ball float: Unscrew or detach the old ball float from the fill valve arm.
  3. Install the new ball float: Screw the new SPARES2GO ball float onto the fill valve arm.
  4. Adjust the float (if needed): Ensure the float is positioned correctly to allow for proper water level regulation. Adjust the arm if necessary.
  5. Turn on the water supply: Slowly turn the shut-off valve counterclockwise to restore the water supply and check for leaks.

Compatibility

This ball float is designed to be a universal replacement part. However, it's recommended to visually inspect your toilet's fill valve and measure the old float to ensure compatibility prior to installation. Ensure the brass thread size matches your existing valve.

Care

Clean the ball float periodically to remove any sediment buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals, which can damage the float's material. Regular inspection can help prevent issues before they arise.
