Good morning everyone,
we have had the problem for some time that water runs quietly but steadily in our toilet, although supposedly everything is closed.
So I thought, it can’t be that difficult, so off to the hardware store.
As the first recommendation from the hardware store, replacing the seal for the flush valve was mentioned as a solution.
So I invested 2.90 euros and after more or less a lot of fiddling, replaced it.
The first 2-3 times it worked, but then the trickle returned.
Then I ordered and replaced the following flush valve. Again, nothing.
What else could it be?
As an idea, I possibly have dirt or lime where the valve should seal.
But how do you get there and with what do you clean it? It’s all quite tight and built-in and you can’t see anything.
I had already held my GoPro action cam in there once, but it didn’t help much.
I’m afraid if I call a professional, we’ll have to renovate the whole wall/the whole bathroom afterwards. ;)
