Mend Ideal Standard Signature Park Flush Toilet Time

Ideal Standard Flush leakage?

The Ideal Standard toilet bowl and flush assembly is probably from the builder's time in Signature Park. Lately it has been seeping slightly into the toilet bowl from the flush tank. This means that the FW tap filling the flush tank has to be kept closed after every flush. The assembly looks complicated and I don't know how to open it and how to repair the leakage. Grateful if you can advise.

The water level has become too high in the cistern - old cisterns used to overflow through a pipe to the outside of the property - modern installations have the overflow into the pan.

Take the lid off the cistern and operate the flush mechanism - you will see a float on an arm fall with the water level and then slowly return as the cistern fills.

Lift the arm by hand until the water stops coming in - watch the inlet valve close and open again as you raise and lower the float arm.

Notice the nylon adjuster screw - you want the screw to close the valve sooner - screw the adjustment in towards the control so that the level of the water when it shuts off is about 15 mm below the level of the overflow tube.

Do up the locking nut - else it may all happen again.

Go in peace...
