Feeling less than flushed

[ThePlotter]

Sorry this is a non caravan question.I have a dual flush loo at home and a while ago had a new valve thingy fitted but now both flushes are the same amount and it refills quickly my guess is that the valve is set at too low a level so that the cistern is only part filling.

OK the question is how do you adjust the level

There should be a ball or similar shaped float in the cistern, it needs raising on its arm.

Usually there is a grub screw in the collar of the float, undo it, raise the float and tighten the screw again

There in lies the problem it isnt the ball valve type as I know how to do those this is the more modern type

 

[Damian]

Plotter, then it may have an adjusting screw (probably plastic) in the hinge end where the float acts on the valve, the screw sets the rise limit, undo it a bit to let the float arm raise up more......other than that I am not sure

If the float valve is working correctly and filling the tank, the problem probably lies in the central mechanism. I have a toilet tank of French origin which has dual flush and the amount appear to be controlled by the position of a "bucket" on the outside of the central syphon. This "bucket" is a white plastic affair about 6cm x 2cm at the top and about 10 cm high. It fits on a rachet mechanism and is fairly easy to move from it's original position - up or down. It needs to be nearly at the top of the travel for best results. If yours has such a device the experiment with different positions of this bucket.

Hope this helps - trust you appreciate us Mods putting our reputations on the line !!
