Apvman 2nd Gear January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 Saw different types of flushing system in DIY shop. Range between $30~50. Is the base thread to screw into the body standard size? Standard size but the different flsuhing system had different hieght.. My advice is for you is to take out the current faulty system, bring to the shop and compare.. they will be able to advice you on the spot... Happy hunting, bro ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altivo 3rd Gear January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 i had the same problem to both my cisterns 3 months ago. I went to a hardwareshop and bought two new replacement valves that comes with 1/2 flush and full flush feature. Cost me $30 each. Unless you can find the exact O ring, otherwise, i suggest you change the whole system. At least, you don't have to worry about a leaky cistern which translate to wastage of water and that is $$$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlet Neutral Newbie January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 (edited) I was charge $180 for the first toilet. 2nd toilet I DIY with parts bought from Home Fix. Full set cost about $60 (with 1/2 flush function). Which is the same type which the contractor used. I re-used the O-Ring mention as the new one was smaller and unable to cover hole at the base of the tank. Thus leak can be due to the rubber valve inside the flushing system too. Mine Potex too. Note. there is a round rubber funnel at the base of the tank which funnel the water into the well. place it back when you seat the water tank onto the seat.

Wegona Neutral Newbie January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 Hi Civic 6656, can you tell me where to find this rubber? Mine is also Potex and have exactly same problem!leaking also but chose to ignore... Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade777 5th Gear January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 Current market do not carry this model (for Potex) already. You need to change to another model (full set) - cost about 110 dollars including installation . I am also facing this issue too. Rdgs So ex. Frankly just remove the mechanism in the cistern will do and bring that to the hardware shop. There are various types which you can choose and replace. Prices range from $10 to $ 30 dollars but you got to DIY. DIY very simple coz you just need to screw it back the new mechanism. At first I also thought difficult and gotta change everything but later learnt and do it myself is like ABC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
