![]() My upstairs cistern fills very slowly. I got round to looking at it today and it had a high pressure valve fitted (small hole) but bless the plumber who left the high pressure bit fitted to the arm! I have fitted it and it has made a difference, although not as much as I had hoped. The valve fell in the cistern when I took the old one off so I don't know if I have the cone and rubber washer the right way round. I have been Googling but I don't know what the bits are called which is a bit of a problem. Can somebody point me to a diagram or tell me what I should be Googling or please? Many thanks. -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK Though no-one can go back and make a new start, everyone can start from now and make a new ending. |

I really need something a bit higher resolution nd with more detail. My valve is like that but 180 degrees out. The diaphragm is at the inlet end and the cone shaped bit at the ball valve end. I wonder if somebody dropped the whole thing in the cistern once upon a time and put it together back to front. -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK Remember, the Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe. |
