Toilet Flushing
Anonymous user 1 March 2024 - 2.31 PM
My toilet will flush if i 'pump' the handle up and down 5 or 6 times. The metal bar connecting to the hook is not slipping but I am unable to get access inside the plastic container within the cistern with the other end of the hook mechanism joins?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, it sounds like the diaphram in the siphon,it can be replaced with a 2 part siphon, the cistern will need to be removed to do this then a coupling kit & doughnut ring may need to be replaced, with the new siphon fitted you can then change the diaphram when it goes again without dismantling the cistern.
Estimated cost for the job £75 Inc all parts.

your syphon is away in your cistern, does your cistern sit on the toilet or is the cistern on the wall (low Level which i think it is )
