The drain blade of the toilet is not attracted to the household out of the time until strange dripping and burglary sounds begin to break out of the toilet. But this is not the worst thing. The water meter suddenly "goes crazy." Its mechanism works in a rabid pace, and by the end of the month you have a round sum for water payment. Familiar situation? The toilet tank flows, and with this certainly necessary to fight!

For many, it's easier than to repair a broken tank for toilet bowl, buy a new one. But you should not hurry! After all, often, this repairs can do without attracting plumbing, and therefore, without unnecessary costs. Try repairing the toilet bowl with your own hands. Before proceeding to eliminate the breakdown, overcoat the water in the riser. Then remove the toilet tank cover and carefully examine its contents. At the same time act neatly, remember that such covers are not sold separately.

Drain tank in open.

In the case of repairing a toilet bowl with a button (compact), open the lid is easier than it seems at first sight. The draining button itself is the answer to the question: "But what about the Larko opens?" Unscrew it, and the lid shakes without effort. By the way, in such toileties, the cause of the constant leakage is often the displacement of the drain button as a result of frequent use. Adjusting its position, usually eliminates the problem.

Button of drain tank

The mechanism of a toilet bowl is simple, as well as the device of the toilet itself as a whole. The algorithm for its work is to supply, accumulate and draining the water. In these processes, water supply hose, leverage, float system and shut-off valve, overlapping the flow after tank filling to a certain level are involved. Washing is done by lever or buttons.

Arm yourself with a hammer, wrench, a rigid brush, and dare!

Guide to the action for a novice plumbing-amateur

Design of drain tank

1. Look inside the housing and determine the character of the problem experimentally. To do this, shut water a couple of times, and observe how the details of the mechanisms behave.
2. Find the detail of the reason for the improper operation of the drain system. May be. Something is broken, torn or shifted.
3. Try to eliminate the problem. Longly send the locked item, secure the spelling, clean the clogged, etc.
4. If the fault repair is not subject to, replace the outstanding item.

Most often arising situations

Too much (or too little) water enters the tank

To eliminate the problem, you need to bend up or down the wire holding the float.

Incorrect position of the float

At the same time, the water continuously enters the tank and, without filling it, flows into the toilet. Survey the location of the float. If he resembles, is shifted relative to the drain hole and discarded on the day, move it with hand from side to side. Place the shut-off valve.

If the events described did not give a positive result, the tank will have to disassemble.

• Remove water from the tank.
• Disconnect the float from the water supply valve, unscrew the nut fixing the drain pipe using the pliers or wrench.
• Remove the siphon nut at the bottom of the case. If the first attempt was not crowned with success, try to loosen the fastening, easily tapping the hammer on it.
• Pull the siphon.

• Rigid brush remove the limestone and rust from all parts and overstate them with running water. Do not use powder cleaners for flushing.

Mechanical damage to the float

For diagnostics carefully examine the float. In such a situation, the liquid fills the float cavity, it loses ease and settles on the bottom. You can get out of the current situation by replacing the proceeded item. You can resort to temporary tricks: the dehydrated float is placed in a sealed polyethylene package and fixed on the lever. But this measure is applicable only in an emergency.

Float, Spoke Float and Valve

Wearing a float mechanism, shut-off valve, seals, rubber gaskets

In this situation, the water completely fills the tank, but does not overlap. It is simply diagnosed with a light lift valve up. If the water pressure decreases, up to a complete stop, then everything is in order with the float mechanism.

Determine the leakage due to a malfunction of the shut-off valve, if the valve is a bit for a bit. Water began to gain? So, the culprit is he. There is a certain adjustment.

What will be the repair of the toilet tank in this case?

• Pre-overlap the water supply.
• Remove the shut-off valve or float mechanism and we carry into a construction store.
• We select similar spare parts for replacement.

Water is not poured into the tank capacity when the lever is pressed

This is probably caused by clogging of the hole of the float valve.

• Discharge water.
• Remove the precipitant nut with the valve lid.
• Remove the float and rubber membrane from the housing.
• Clean the hole for supplying water from rust and other garbage to thin sharp item.
• Carefully open the valve, let the water.

Flow in places of fasteners and connections

Threaded connections are also deformed and destroyed over time. Plastic fasteners, losing flexibility, crumble and crack. Solving the problem is to replace the attachment. But, as an emergency, you can try to apply a spike or rowing.

Plastic nuts twist only manually using gaskets and sealants. Do not pull them up with a wrench, because These compounds are very sensitive to the slightest effort and are destroyed.

Filling the tank capacity is accompanied by outsiders

It seems, and there is no breakdown. Mechanisms work clearly, water does not flow anywhere. But, in view of the subtle mental organization of some citizens, this sound asophony becomes problem number 1, acts on the nerves, deprives sleep. Loss of unwanted noises easily, attaching a rubber tube to the float valve. If this does not help, try to install a float valve equipped with a hollow piston with a stabilizing chamber.

We really hope that our tips will facilitate you repairing a drain Tank toilet, and will give answers to the questions that have arisen in the process.
