Help with ROCA Cistern Problem
 
Hello,

I have a problem with a Roca toilet, the type with the two interleaved
plungers on top. Water is contnuously running through the pan and the
cistern requiring frequrnt refills. I have got as far as opening the
the cistern and not too sure how to proceed. The cistern has a
cylyndrical mechanism in the middle which i presume where the problem
lies but don't feel brave enough to open it as i am not sure how to go
about this. just wondering if anybody has a similar toilet and give me
any guidance..

Cheers.

If it is like mine, the lid won't lift off until you unscrew the chrome
bezel surrounding the two buttons. This is more easily done if you press
the buttons down before trying to unscrew the surround

I had this problem and found it was the inlet float valve with a build up of
slime on it (internally).

Just remove the lid (mine has the central chrome bezel to unscrew
initially).

The inlet float/ valve was obvious, as was the screwed locking ring to
dismantle. A clean of all components of the valve plus re-assembly was all
that was needful.

An isolation of the supply to the toilet is necessary first, of course.

Hope your problem is similar and as easily solved.
