Hello,
with our "concealed" toilet flush, the float valve was leaking. Took everything out, popped out the cylinder seal and reinserted it rotated 180°, and beforehand placed a washer cut from 1/10mm thick plastic underneath. So far, so good, so tight.
But: After reassembly, I noticed that while filling the installation box, water spurts out of the float's mounting pipe, which is secured at the top with an open clamp ring (white on the grey body in the photo on the right). At first, only a little water comes out, but the fuller the box gets, the higher the float rises, the more it spurts out at the top. When the float is all the way up and closes the float valve, of course it stops. But that cannot be intended or normal. I have taken the whole thing out, disassembled and reinstalled it multiple times—without success. Everything moves freely, fits together without force, nothing broken or defective. Since I unfortunately do not know and do not understand how this mechanism works (apart from the floating up of the float and closing of the inlet float valve), I am asking the experts here what might be wrong with this symptom.
