    Hello,
    I have a problem with a cistern that has been leaking for a while.
    I tried all this mechanism, which drains the water when pressed, unscrew the stone, but it did not help.
    So I bought a whole new mechanism and the same thing happens.
    There is very little water flowing, but it is still leaking and you can hear that it is flying. I don't know what else to do anymore.
    Is this mechanism still somehow adjusted or how?
    I bought such a valve -> Link

    Thanks to everyone for any advice and suggestions! ] Link [/url]

    And the water level in the cistern is not too high? The float valve seals off the water supply?

    No, I set it up so that there is not much water.
    How do you check if the float valve is well positioned?

    If it is not overflowing, it keeps.

    Okay, so where is the water leaking?

    On the seal between the tank and the toilet seat.

    Ok, tight, what else do I have to do with it?

    If it leaks between the toilet seat and the tank replace the gasket, between the toilet seat and the tank this type of gasket is deformable reuse or tightening will not help with the sealing.

    The insert can be the type of the device company or a photo.

    Check that shutting off the water supply to the flush stops leaking into the bowl. If so, you have a problem with a leaky valve.

    The top is not always visible - it is sometimes a hole in one of the drain valve sliders.
    In addition, check that you can overshoot the level so that it is a centimeter lower and that the valve effectively maintains this lowered level.

    I shared this information in the first post (link)

    So yeah, I just put in a little water so it wouldn't come to the drain valve and it wouldn't leak, which is the gasket that sits directly on the shell and holds it.

    These were my first suspicions about the old valve, the water level is even 5 cm lower than the overflow hole, but the water continues to leak.

    Not a little water, but as much as it starts to leak, turn the valve off and watch when it stops flowing.

    Well, I have as much water poured in all the time, so that it does not overflow and the water runs all the time.

    Unscrew this new cartridge, perhaps the gasket on the middle part (bottom) has collapsed and the water is sealed off.

    I have already checked and undressed, everything is ok with her.
    The worst thing is that it flows the same with the old and the new cistern.

    If you turn off the valve, it still flows. Is the water waning? Maybe the problem with fixing the siphon behind the tank.

    I was also winding up with an unmanageable leak. Liquid, but it shouldn't. The valve - although new - does not always stick with the old tank. The more water in the cistern, the greater the leakage. I had to try different types. In the meantime, I used Dr. Tyck's method, consisting in weighting the mechanism with a few pebbles thrown inside. Stupid, but it helped.

    I was also thinking about some weight, but I didn't know what to use. I'll try it out and let you know.

    A long time ago I used lead fishing weights :) They also worked well, it was easy to choose the right weight.

    Unfortunately, weighting it down did nothing. However, I noticed that despite setting the float to pour less water, this water somehow reaches the cistern all the time and overflows the top.
    How to check the float?

    Float valve to be replaced.

    You don't answer the questions. You have a problem with the valve that works with the float. Did you replace it or at least clean it? The float should protrude above the water level. If it is submerged at the minimum setting of the water level, the answer is obvious. Or almost sunken, I don't know what type of float it is.

    When the water is closed, it does not flow and it does not overflow.
    The valve, unfortunately, I can not unscrew, it is so stony, do not know what.
    By the way, I will look somewhere in the store and exchange.

    Well, I am very happy at last. Joking aside, you will probably have two good siphons.

    Newer constructions can not be disassembled - welded in several places after twisting.

    By the way, replace the tubing.

    By the way, I don't know if it is important, but at this valve you can hear the air escaping somewhere.

    You can hear the fluid (fluids: liquids and gases) flowing through the small opening at high speed ("The given water, under pressure, meeting the opening or fissure, flows out. You cannot change the laws of physics ..."). It is the same as air leakage, hence a similar noise. ;)

    So you have a blast fill valve. Replace. Do not play with any attempts to seal it or regulate it - I know from practice that only the factory does this once, and only good.

    I had a similar problem. After replacing the entire trigger mechanism with a new one, it was still liquid. Replacing the filling mechanism helped. The cost is about PLN 12.

    I do not know. In "Mrówka", the water filling and shut-off valve costs PLN 26. I have long ago stated that fighting leaks is only effective by replacing components. Gaskets have a defined service life, besides, with time, various deposits adhere to them and the gasket ceases to fulfill its function. It makes no sense to fight windmills.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a persistent leak in a cistern despite the replacement of the gasket and installation of a new valve. Users suggest checking the float valve's position and ensuring it is not submerged, as well as inspecting the seal between the tank and the toilet seat. Recommendations include replacing the float valve if it is faulty, as well as considering the possibility of a defective filling mechanism. Some users share personal experiences, indicating that replacing the filling mechanism resolved similar issues. The conversation highlights the importance of replacing worn components rather than attempting to repair them, as gaskets and valves have a limited lifespan.
