Any toilet bowl, always causes a lot of problems. It begins to spoil the mood, irritates the noise of continuously flowing water.

Large numbers appear on the water meter, you have to pay for water several times more. The surface of the toilet begins to be covered with rust. On pipes, condensate droplets are becoming noticeable, which can cause corrosion, mold formation.

The tank should be immediately eliminated to avoid the emergence of negative consequences.
Today, the formed flowing in a bowl toilet can be easily corrected, without resorting to the services of specialists. But for this you need to understand the principle of operation of such a system and its components.

The tank may proceed for various reasons. To eliminate it, there is only one solution. Each tank design is different characteristic features. Therefore, the approach to solving such a problem will be individual. However, the most common is the "classic" design. Therefore, we will consider the problem of leaks by taking exactly this design for the database. We give 7 solutions on how to eliminate flow in the toilet and why can the tooche toilet?

The first reason: overflow

Perhaps the most popular and obvious cause was the banal bunch overflow. When the toilet tank passes water in the toilet. Excess water just goes into the overflowing hole. The main reasons for the appearance of such a passing can be:

• Rubber gasket lost its elasticity. Long exploitation of the tank led to a loose overlapping of the flow of water. The gasket began to deform and skip fluid;
• The gasket is poorly pressed and looked closely closes the outlet, located near the drain valve, thereby creating a leak. Such a gasket has retained its elasticity, there are no traces of deformation. Water begins to flow due to its bad clamping to the wall of the toilet;
• Perhaps the stilette of the valve, which holds the float. This occurs in the process of long-term operation and the appearance of corrosion on the body of the hairpins;
• In the valve case itself, a crack was formed. Water begins through it.

Note! When a brass valve is installed in the tank, no cracks can simply be. They occur only on plastic products. Brass parts are distinguished by high reliability.

How to cope with such a leak

To quickly eliminate the problem when water leaving the tank in the toilet, it is necessary to figure out the true cause of the tank. To do this, you need to carry out a small testing.

Remove toilet lid. Float rising hand up. One centimeter is enough to stop the flow. Consequently, the lever float bent is not entirely correct. It simply cannot overlap the water, it flows freely through the drain hole.

To correct and eliminate levers, it is necessary to slightly adjust the lever so that it began to overlap water, as soon as it reaches a certain face.

If, after raising the lever, the lever did not stop, you need to carefully inspect the valve. A special fixing stud must be in its place. It should not have any damage. It should stop the float lever, being inside the valve. In addition, you need to check the condition of the opening in which the stud is located. It may be deformed.

The heel that has become unusable can be replaced with a copper wire, a large cross section.

When deformed holes, you need to install a new valve.

It is possible that leaks appear due to gasket. If after pressed it to the valve, the water stopped flowing from the drain hole, it is necessary to adjust it to the clamp. If it is not adjustable, you need to install a new gasket.

We reviewed the main causes and methods to solve the problem of the tank leakage on the classic scheme. It has been used for over 40 years. However, every year new designs of tanks appear with a specific principle of work. Try to further explore and their design.

Reason Second: Bolts

Quite often flowing water is associated with bolts that connect the tank and toilet bowl. Metal bolts over the years are covered with rust, plastic simply burst, from this and the toilet tank flows.

How to solve such a problem

First you need to be thoroughly examined all the reinforcement. Perhaps you will need to replace only one bolt. However, in order to additionally do not run to the store, it is better to immediately buy a new set of spare parts for toilet.

To accurately determine the cause of the leaks, you have to disassemble the tank. Sometimes it is simply not visible, which item has failed, which requires immediate replacement.

How replacement is performed

To eliminate the flow of the toilet bowl:

• Before starting disassembly, you need to overlap the water supply;
• Remove all water from the tank;
• Unscrew the flexible lining through which water is supplied;
• Unscrew all bolts. If the body of the bolts was covered with a large layer of rust, they need to be cutting with a metal with a metal. Buying new bolts, much cheaper installation of a new toilet bowl. After all, the old one can break, when unscrewing rusted bolts;
• The toilet tank is postponed back;
• The shelf lying on the cuff is removed;
• Water residues merge;
• All detected rust is removed.

For the assembly, all actions are performed in the reverse order. New bolts are installed, rubber gaskets change.

When tightening bolts, the slightest skew is not allowed. The tight must be performed by making a little effort. If you start greatly putting on the bolt, you can easily crush faience.

Third reason: pear

A rubber pear has failed and the toilet flows constantly after washing. With long-term operation, rubber becomes inelastic. It grundes and can not take the right form. As a result, water in the toilet is constantly flowing.

Solution to the problem

How to eliminate flow in the toilet? Repair a pear that has lost its form is almost useless. You can spend a lot of time, and the result will be zero. Much easier to purchase a new pear in the store.

When buying, you need to choose from several products the most soft. It can be operated for a long period of time until it becomes tough.

Mount pear is done on the thread. To remove it, you need to turn the pear clockwise. For installation, the pear turns in the opposite direction. While there is no new pear, you can use the cargo hanging on the stock. He will put pressure on the pear, and press it to the saddle. In such a cargo can be any heavy nut.

Fourth Cause: Skot

A tank malfunction can be associated with a breakdown or a large displacement of the lever, which holds the float. The reasons for the formation of the skew is quite a lot. For example, a hole, through which water begins to fall into the float. Perhaps the lever moved a little toward due to long-term operation.
Another reason when the toilet tank flows may become low-quality plumbing parts purchased in the store.

How to solve such a problem

If you purchased a bad float in the store, it must be changed to more reliable and high-quality. When forming a small hole in the float, it is easy to close with ordinary polyethylene. You can also warm the piece of plastic and close the hole.

But such a repair is considered temporary, all the same will need to replace the float.

Fifth Reason: Depressurization

Between the toilet and fastening of the tank appeared to flow. Such a leakage in the area of \u200b\u200bthe tank and the toilet itself, appears if the joint has occurred. Typically, the cause of such a phenomenon becomes a large deformation of the rubber seal.

To eliminate leaks, a new gasket must be installed between the tank and the toilet.

Such work is performed in the following order:

• Water supply is disconnected, for which the main water valve is closed;
• From the barrel remove all the remnants of water, collecting it with a soft kitchen sponge;
• Lightly unscrew the drain nut. It can be found directly under the saddle of the trigger valve;
• Completely unscrew the screws that fasten the tank to the toilet shelf. Tank disassembly is performed;
• A lockout is unscrewed, which holds the drain, after which it is removed from the tank;
• A new gasket is installed. Each gasket is manufactured with certain sizes and shape. Therefore, before buying a gasket, you must definitely choose the exact size of the sample.
• If the gasket is less or more, the problem will remain unresolved;
• The drain node is fixed with locknuts;
• The tank returns to the shelf and is fixed with bolts.

It must be said that flowing between the toilet and the tank may be associated with other circumstances:

• Strongly rusted the bolt holding the tank capacity on the bowl;
• The insulation came into disrepair, creating the sealing of the bolt planting hole.

Of course, you have to install a new bolt and replace the seal. The work must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Water supply overlaps;
2. Dried;
3. All bolts are out and removed from the landing holes;
4. On the bolts wear sealing washers;
5. Bolts are installed in place and tighten with nuts.

Your cash costs will be:

• Gasket - 200 rubles;
• Bolts set - 50-300 rubles;
• Master services - 1200-1400 rubles.

Sometimes no replacement is needed. It is enough just to pull the weakened bolts. To do this, the nut hold the key, and the fasteners are tightened by an ordinary screwdriver.

With this work, care must be taken. Ceramic products do not differ great strength. It is quite stronger to tighten the bolt, and a crack may appear on the bottom of the barrel. So that this does not happen, much calmer will just put new gaskets.

Sixth reason: shut-off valve

Fastered shut-off valve. From this constantly flows water from the tank in the toilet. Of course, you can try to engage in disassembling the shutter valve. Perform the adjustment of the pressure of the hatch on the drain nozzle, slightly heading his end. Such manipulations require large labor costs, and the desired effect is not always achieved. It suggests a simple conclusion, it is not necessary to repair the repair, it is better to completely replace the whole drain node or completely cistern Toilet bowl.

To do this, you must perform the following actions:

• Toilet room need to turn off the water supply. To do this, the central water supply valve is tightened.
• The remaining water is washed off in the toilet;
• Open the lid and sponge remove all the remnants of water;
• We remove the locking screws;
• The tank is removed from the shelf;
• Sealing gasket is removed;
• Unscrew the lock nuts fixing the drain node;
• The old mechanism is removed;
• A new system is installed.

Before buying a drain node, you need to try to acquire a similar model that stood before in the tank. As a last resort, the same manufacturer. In other words, if the tank was made by the company "Cersanit", then the drain node should be the same brand.

The new node is fixed with new locknuts, a new gasket is installed.

Tank return to the shelf, new bolts are inserted into the holes. We screw it to the toilet shelf.
It remains to connect water and check the tightness of the new plum.

In principle, this work is not very complicated, it is enough to have a set of precipitated keys and several divorce.
Buying a new plum will cost 400-4000 rubles. It all depends on the type of mechanism. Elite systems are much more expensive.

If the work will perform a professional master, you will have to pay 1600-1800 rubles.

Seventh Cause: Cracks

The toilet tank flows due to the resulting cracks at the bottom or sides. With such a serious problem, you can cope, without even changing the entire toilet.

What should be done

The tank is disconnected from the toilet and dried well. All the cracks that have appeared need to smell with high-quality sealant. It must be said that this method gives the biggest effect. Of course, the sealant is not designed for long-term operation, still will have to buy a new tank and toilet bowl.

If the toilet tank began to flow with the button

First of all, the switch is in what position is the switch. If the return spring weakened, the button may simply stay in the mine. As a result, the lid of the drain hatch will be all the time in the "open" position.

To repair the toilet tank with the button, you must follow a specific sequence:

• Dismantling covers;
• The scapular switch is removed;
• Spring changes;
• Connected landing place. It is located right below the hole made in the lid.
• Perform a reverse assembly.

Preventive work

If you do not want your toilet to break, it is necessary to constantly fulfill certain preventive measures.

Once for six months you need to clean the tank and bowl toilet bowl.

Constantly browse in what condition is fittings and related fittings.

Any toilet off does not "like" mechanical damage, it does not tolerate temperature jumps.

On time, the prevention will extend the service life of the entire system.

When the leaks appear, first correct the simplest breakdowns and only then proceed to solve more serious tasks.

The flow of the drain tank can be eliminated with their own hands. The construction of the tank is so simple that does not require a special tool. After completing this repair yourself, you will definitely get great pleasure.

Conclusion

We gave the 7 most common decisions on why water flows in the toilet. In a 95% case, you have a similar problem. But if you all tried and nothing happened, what then to do if the water still flows in a bowl toilet bowl? Better to call plumbing. He will eliminate the problem in less than an hour.

If the broken tank passes water, it causes not only the inconvenience in the operation of the structure. Additional cost of expenses will be a large volume of dried water. In more serious cases, such problems lead to a flood in the apartment.

Sanitary fixture device

Before fixing the toilet that flows with the button, you need to deal with the entire device. The design of the usual toilet bowl consists of a bowl and drain tank. The last device can join the layer of toilet bowl, attached separately on the wall or fit on a special frame.

The drain tank works for this principle:

1. when you press the drain button, the shut-off valve rises;
2. water gets free current into the bowl of the bowl of the toilet;
3. through uniformly distributed openings under the rim of the bowl, the aqueous stream is washes over the entire cavity around the perimeter;
4. when all the water from the tank is gone, another valve opens, admits the pressure from the feed pipe cold water on the apartment;
5. the level of recruited water in the tank is adjustable using the float.

Under the cover of the tank is the fittings of the entire device: the float for controlling the level of the type of water, seals and levers of feeding and cutting off the aqueous stream.

The valve of the constipation is responsible for the flow of water. It is attached on the way of connecting the hose for water supply to the tank. The system of his work includes a float and membrane.

Tacks with economical water flow assume the presence of two buttons in their device - for small and large drains. The mechanism of work is no different from standard tanks.

Plumbing preparation for repair

At the first stage, the crane with water supply to the tank is overlap. Depending on the mounted cranes, you can deprive the entire water apartment or overlap the flow only to the tank. If the mechanism of water constipation is damaged, that is, the risk to organize a flood in the apartment.

At the second stage, the tank cover is open. Here you need to carefully treat the existing snags. If the design is broken by force, then it will be difficult to choose a similar cover (plumbing stores sell the collected kits, not separate components).

Before you start independently repair the toilet device that flows with a drain button, you need to prepare the necessary tools:

horn keys of several sizes;

• screwdriver;
• pliers;
• tape with adhesive base for isolation.

Elimination of constant Tech

Any tank model is equipped with a water type and trigger system. If the container is not filled to the desired level, the water constantly flows into the bowl or is overflowing through the top, then the problem lies in the accumulation systems or water descent.

A possible problem lies in a pear, which does not fit the drain hole quite tight. In this case, a small cargo is hung on a pear.

Water does not enter the tank capacity

Such a problem occurs when garbage in a narrow part of the valve device. First, it will take all the water from the tank. Fully remove the valve with a lever and float. Then you can see a clogged hole. Through this pass, water is recruited into the tank. It is possible to clean the garbage with a thin wire or sewing needle.

On the input armature, the valve is slightly unscrewed and the inside of the water jet is washed. If, after removing the zero, water comes without obstacles, then you can screw the retainer and collect the entire mechanism.

Troubleshooting a drain tank with a push-button mechanism

The tank button is responsible for the descent of the water in the bowl itself. After completing the drain process, the float remains at the bottom of the device. The valve of the valve reinforcement comes to such a position, opening the hole for the flow of water. When typing in the tank, the water raises the float. The lever begins to move under this action.

Lifting up to the desired level, lever and the battlefield occupy a certain position. In this case, the shut-off valve tightly covers the bandwidth of the nozzle and water ceases to gain.

If the toilet tank flows with the drain button on the lid, then you need to perform the following actions:

1. Find a fixing ring located around a drain button.
2. Press the button and unscrew the plastic stopper.
3. Remove the lid and proceed to repair.

The locking devices of the buttons are made of plastics. An excessive mechanical effect on this element can lead to a device breakdown.

Water can flow by continuous flow and constantly flows from the installed tank to a layer of toilet bowl with a button. In this case, you need to check the position of the float. To do this, open the cover of the tank and align the floating element.

In another case, water can constantly flow into the bowl due to the open opening in the pipe for a drain. You can check the version by pressing a pear. In case of stopping the jet, the reason is clarified. We decide the issue of weighing pear - hanging extra cargo.

In the event of the failure of the rubber pear in the device of the shut-off valve, the tightness of the entire tank design is disturbed. The solution to the problem will be replaced by a spoiled element. For this, the float is brought to the upper position and fixed in such a state. We unscrew the connective nut from the tank and take out the mechanism. From the valve remove the worn pear and install a new one.

New pear need to choose as softer. At the same time, the size of products must coincide.

Check fixing bolts for pear.

If they come into disrepair, then you should purchase new and install:

• water is completely removed from the tank;
• between the valve near the float and eyeliner there is a naked nut that needs to be unscrewed and removed;
• unscrewed tank's earcators to the shelf toilet bowl;
• lightly tipping back the tank, gently take out the rubber connective layer between the capacity and the installed bowl of the toilet;
• damaged bolts are removed;
• the faience section under the pear is well cleaned by the formed nour and dirt; The shelf and the top of the tank are also washed out;
• if the old pear is installed back, it is necessary to apply silicone to its surface for a more dense connection with the opening;
• all tank elements are installed on their place, and fixation is performed using bolts;
• connecting cuff is installed on its place;
• several times in a row, water is launched into the tank to complete the results of the work.

If only one locking bolt came into disrepair, then you need to buy everything. These elements must be the same in structure and length.

Problem with overflow

If the water leak is detected in the tank through the overflowing hole, and the restoration of the lever position does not help, then check the state of fixing spills. The unsuitable element can be replaced with a combine of a wire made of copper composition. The thickness of the broken and new elements must coincide.

If the hole where the stud is placed, ceased to be round, then the valve is changed. It is important to acquire a completely similar new element.

If you put a new plumber in your home, including the toilet, be sure to pay attention to the correctness and reliability of the connection of all components of the equipment. The uninterrupted operation of the device depends on the tightness of the connections.

Operating toilet brings to your home a high level of comfort. However, any plumbing can break. Especially often trouble occur in old devices. The degrading effect on the component parts of the system of discharge of the toilet is provided by poor water quality. Rigid water with outsided impurities gradually displays equipment. Each homeowner should be aware of how to repair the drain tank toilet bowl.

Device of a drain tank

At first glance, the drain system in the toilet looks sufficient simply - it is a faience or plastic container, automatically filling with water, which is then consumed for washing unclean.

The main components of the toilet tank

1. Armature responsible for filling the tank with water
2. The mechanism that initiates the drain of water from the tank (rod / lever or single / duplex button).

Such basic elements of the drain tank are practically in all models, even in old devices soviet period. They may differ on the materials of execution and appearanceBut their main tasks: set control and the initiation of water flow remain the same.

The main types of design of drain tanks for the toilet is float mechanism and drain column.

The following figure shows the device of the classic drain tank with a float mechanism. Such internal reinforcement was equipped with drain tanks of the Soviet period and continue to be used at present on devices with a side lever.

All major knots of the drain tank are interconnected. Damage to one element can cause failure of the entire equipment.

Float mechanism

One of the most common breakdowns of the toilet tank mechanisms is a constant flow of water. The reason is the malfunction of the float device, which should turn off the water supply to the container when a certain level is reached.

The main reasons for such behavior of the float mechanism may be the following factors:

• water intake valve breakdown in the tank;
• improper position of the lever responsible for the inclusion of the drain mechanism;
• wrong work float.

In old models, inspect the float. This is a hollow plastic container. Cracks may form from long-term operation. Then water from the tank penetrates inside the float, and it is sinking. Such a node is easiest to replace - the float is usually attached to the screw with the nut.

IN modern models Drain tanks hollow plastic float missing. The input valve is closed by another node - drain column, which is easier to replace entirely. Some models of drain columns have an adjustment mechanism that determines the level of tank filling and the amount of descent water.

Check the operation of the Bachka intake valve

1. To understand how correctly the valve closing mechanism is in a tank, inspect the leverLocated next to the valve.
2. Swover water And watch the tank filling.
3. Stir the lever.
4. When the lever is placed in a certain position, it must lock the inlet valve. If the lever wounded during operation, get it configuration.
5. If the knot jin, which provides the movement of the lever, make it replace.

Another reason for constant plum may be fault intake valve. In this case, despite the serviceable operation of the float mechanism, the tank is constantly filled with water and constantly merges. Valve breakdown can occur due to water pressure jumps in pipelines. In this case, the valve is easiest to replace - this is a pretty simple device that can be found in a practically any economic store. Remove the valve and purchase a similar one. TO aK, you can read in our article.

Constant flowing water from the tank in the toilet can occur the reason for the damage of the producing valve. This device should not be repaired, it is better to replace it entirely on identical. If, after dismantling the exhaust valve, it will be found that a rubber gasket of the siphon was worn out, then it should be replaced. It is worth this item is not expensive.

What if the toilet tank is loudly noise?

The noise of water filling the drain tank can cause discomfort from your households. Usually such a problem occurs from the toilet tanks with the upper water supply. This problem is easily eliminated in two ways.

1. In some models of tanks the diameter of the inlet can be adjusted. Reduce its cross section. The tank will fill slower, but it will not make annoying sounds.
2. You can also several modify the internal reinforcement of the tank:

• find a plastic or rubber tube with a length of about 30 centimeters;
• install it in such a way that one end of its end is dressed on the inlet, and the second is lowered to the bottom of the tank.

  Now the water will not arrange the "waterfall", and the tank capacity will fill silently through the tube.

We replace the bolts in the current toilet

Most models of drain tanks toilet bowl is attached to the shelf using bolts that pass through the bottom of the tank. Metal bolts are subject to corrosion and after a while they can contradict. Water in this case will leak through the holes, drip on the floor.

Algorithm for replacing bolts

1. We close the water supply faucet to the tank.
2. We drag the remaining water from the tank to the toilet.
3. We dismantle the inlet valve of the tank.
4. We dismantle both connecting bolts that are fixing the tank to the toilet shelf.
5. The tank is on the rubber cuff. Raise the tank and clean the cuff. If necessary, replace it.
6. We carry out the cleaning of the connection places, free them from dirt.
7. We carry out the equipment assembly in the reverse order with the insertion of new bolts. When tightening the bolts do not make excessive effort so that Sanafayans does not burst.
8. We carry out a tank testing and the absence of leaks.

In the drain tank does not come water

The reason for the fact that your drain tank toilet ceased to fill with water can serve as three types of faults.

1. On the initial stage check the condition of the reducing flexible hose. To do this, it is necessary to overlap water, disconnect the hose from the Basket case and open a slightly shut -tented valve by sending the end of the hose to the toilet. From a good hose flows water. If water does not flow - a flexible supply hose must be replaced with identical.

1. Also the cause is not water receipt can be clogging of the incoming valve. It can clog impurities contained in tap water. You can try to clean the valve hole with a thin long object.
2. The inlet valve can for one reason or another completely fail. In this case, with unsuccessful cleaning attempts, the valve must be completely replaced.

We change the inner reinforcement of the drain tank

Faults in the reinforcement of the tank may occur avalanche-like. In this case, you can not change the wear parts, but replace the inner reinforcement of the drain tank entirely. Examine the fittings device available in your tank. Drain tanks are produced with various designs of internal reinforcement. In particular, the toilet tanks differ in the type of water supply - flexible hose can be connected to the top, side or bottom of the tank.

We will understand how to replace inner reinforcement on a tank with lower water liner. For these works, a minimum set of tools is required: wrench and pliers.

1. Close the shut-off valve.
2. We dismantle the water drain button. It can be offended or fixed on clips.
3. We dismantle the top cover of the drain tank.
4. We unscrew the fastening of the supply hose to the drain tank and disconnect it.
5. Turning 90 degrees, remove the upper half of the drain column.
6. We unscrew the bolts that fasten the drain tank to the toilet.
7. We lay the drain tank on the toilet.
8. We spin the nuts that are fixing the inlet valve and drain column, dismantle the remaining part of the column.
9. We establish the internal reinforcement of the tank and collect the equipment in the reverse order.

Installing a new column

1. A drain column is placed in an empty tank. It is located above the outlet.
2. On the bottom, the drain column is fixed with a cuff with a carvings.
3. Over the inlet, the inlet valve is placed with the fill adjustment mechanism.
4. The inlet valve is fixed by cuff carving from the bottom of the bottom

Eliminate leaks in a drain tank

To eliminate leaks in a tank, you need to carefully check all the places of threaded connections. You can put the pieces of toilet paper or paper napkins under them, on which even the smallest drops will be visible. When the leaks are detected, the location of the pipeline connection is collected again using an additional sealing tape.

Replacing the drain tank

Any internal nodes of the drain tank toilet can be replaced. But this can only be done if you fare you will find an identical device.

Every year there are tanks with new designs of internal fittings that may be incompatible with previous generations. In this case, running on shopping, you can decide to buy a new tank. It is easier to solve this question if your toilet tank and toilet are made as separate elements Designs. There are models of sanitary equipment in which the tank and bowl of the toilet are made as a whole.

Replace the toilet tank is also subject to cracks in Sanfayans. In this case, no repair will help you, the process of destruction is irreversible. A temporary measure may become drying of the tank and applying a thick layer of silicone sealant to the crack area.

As you can see, the cost and duration of repair of the toilet tank depends on the nature of the damage. Some faults can be eliminated by the replacement of the elements of the internal reinforcement. In case of detection of cracks in the tank housing, or it is impossible to purchase a suitable fittings - you will have to change the drain tank, and the entire set of toilet bowl is possible.

Video - how to fix the drain blade toilet bowl

No matter how qualitative to the toilet and fittings, problems occur periodically: the water is not recruited, then on the contrary, it constantly flows from a drain. All these problems are associated with the reinforcement (drain and intake valves), which is put in the drain tank. Next and let's talk about how to install it yourself, with your own hands, change, regulate and repair.

Internal organization

The toilet drain tank consists of two simple systems: a set of water and its drain. To eliminate possible problems, it is necessary to understand how everything is arranged and running. First, consider from which parts the tank for the toilet bowl of the old sample consists. Their system is more understandable and visual, and the work of more modern devices will be understood by analogy.

The internal reinforcement of the tank of this type is very simple. The water supply system is an intake valve with a float mechanism. Plum system - lever and pear with a deck valve inside. There is still an overflow tube - there are excess water from the tank, bypassing the drain hole.

The main thing in this design is the correct operation of the water supply system. A more detailed scheme of its device - in the figure below. The intake valve is connected to the float with the help of a curved lever. This lever presses on the piston, which opens / closes the water supply.

When filling the tank, the float is in the lower position. Its lever does not press the piston and he is pressed by the pressure of the water, opening out the output into the nozzle. Water is gradually recruited. As the water level rises, the float rises. Gradually, he presses the piston, overlapping the water supply.

The system is simple and effective, the level of the tank filling can be changed by the exaggeration of a bit of the lever. The lack of this system is tangible noise when filling.

Now consider how the water drops in the tank. In the variant shown in the figure above, the drain hole is overlapped with a trigger pear. A chain is tied to pear, which is connected to the drain lever. Press the lever, lifting the pear, the water merges into the hole. When lowering the level, the float is lowered down, opening the flow of water. This is how the drain tank of this type works.

Modern models with lever plum

Less noisy when filling a tank for toilet bowls with lower eyewash water. This is a more modern version of the device described above. Here the crane / inlet valve is hidden inside the tank - in the tube (in the photo - a gray tube to which the float is connected).

Device of a drain tank with water supply from below

The mechanism of work is the same - the float is omitted - the valve is open, the water comes. The tank was filled, the float rose, the valve blocked the water. The draining system remained in this version almost unchanged. The same valve that rises when pressed on the lever. Almost not changed and the irrigation system of water. This is also a handset, but it is bred in the same drain.

Vite the work of a drain tank such a system can be seen in the video.

With button

The model of tanks for the toilet with the button have similar water intake reinforcement (there is a lateral supply of water, there is from the bottom). Drain fittings they have another type.

The system presented in the photo meets most often in the toilets of domestic production. She is inexpensive and reliable. Device of import units Other. They are mostly lower water supply and another drain-overflow device (in the photo below).

Such systems are different:

• with one button
  • water merges while the button is pressed;
  • drain begins when pressed, stops when repeated pressing;
• with two buttons producing different amounts of water.

The mechanism of work here is a bit different, although the principle remains the same. In this reinforcement, when you press the button, a glass of blocking plums is rising. The rack remains stationary. If briefly, it's all the difference. The drain adjustment occurs with the help of a rotary nut or a special lever.

Installation and replacement of drain tank replacement

A significant part of the problems with the toilet is solved by adjusting or replacing the replacement of the tank. In any case, you need to know how to disassemble and assemble the insides of the tank. This skill is accurately useful. When replacing, you must first dismantle the old device, and then install a new one. We describe the whole process in the details, including the installation of the new fittings.

How to remove the cover from the tank

If the drain tank is repaired with the button, it is not always immediately clear how to remove the lid. Make it easy: Press the button, turn the ring.

If it does not work with your fingers, pressing the button, we consider it internal bezel. There are two special slits. You can take a screwdriver with an unbroken end, it turns a little ring. Then you can also unscrew your fingers.

After that, take a button, pulling it up. Everything, the lid can be lifted.

Dismantling tank

To replace the old reinforcement reinforcement, it should be removed from the bowl of the toilet bowl. First of all, overlapping the water supply, then drain the water from the tank. Then, with the help of keys, we remove the hose underlining water (it is attached to the side or below).

Next, you need to disconnect the tank from the bowl of the toilet bowl. If you look below it, you can see bolts that are tightened with nuts. Here and unscrew them using a set of horn keys or adjustable. Before it, near the toilet, put the container or bed with a rag - some water in the tank remains always, when unscrewing nuts, it will merge.

By revealing two nuts - right and left, remove the tank. There is usually a gasket. If it is deformed or dryed, it is also desirable to replace it.

The tank is placed on a flat surface. In its lower part there is a large plastic nut. It holds the drain mechanism, we unscrew it. Sometimes the first turns have to do with the help of an adjustable key, but not too press it - plastic can be fragile.

Now the water drain mechanism is easily removed.

Similarly, remove the water supply mechanism. At the bottom feed, the fastening nut is also located below (right or left from the center).

After that, look inside the drain tank. Usually a rusty sediment is accumulated on the bottom, small particles of metal, sand, and the like. All this must be removed, if possible, rinse. The interior should be clean - the garoils that have fallen under the layers can cause the appearance of leaks. After that, start mounting a new fittings.

Montage of reinforcement of drain tank

Everything happens in the reverse order. First install a new rack of the drain mechanism. We unscrew the plastic nut from it, we wear a rubber gasket on the nozzle. It can be white (as in the photo) or black.

The device we get inside the tank, with the outer side, screw the plastic nut. It is spinning, while it is possible, with your fingers, then tighten a slightly key. Dry it is impossible - burst.

Sealing

Now on the toilet bowl replacing the sealing ring, sealing it with a drain tank. In this place, dirt and rust often accumulate - it is pre-wipe it, the landing place should be dry and clean.

Installing the fastening bolts inside the tank, without forgetting to put gaskets. Plum tank put in place while you can not align. The main thing is to get the screws and the prom part of the seating. We take the puck, nut and screw them on the screws.

When both nuts are installed, but not yet tightened, align the container. Then, with the key, start tightening the mount. Through a few revolutions, then on the left.

We put the exhaust valve

Last but I set the inlet valve for the drain tank. It could be put before, but then it is inconvenient to install fastening bolts - too little space. On the output nozzle, we also wear a gasket, then we install inside, fix with the nut.

The next step is to the same pipe, we connect water. Before connecting the flexible water hose for some time, we open water, allowing you to remove the scale, which accumulates each time after closing the crane even for a short time. After pulling out some amount of water (substitute the bucket, so as not to wet the floor), we connect the hose to the fitting (we turn off the water again).

Although the fitting and metal, heavily delaying this connection is also not necessary - first with your fingers, then one turn is a key. If when the water is turned on, the drops will be detected, you can pull it up on the floor of the turn. After that, check whether the system works correctly. If all right, we install the cover, screw the button. You can once again test. On this, the installation of reinforcement of the drain tank is finished. As you can see, everything can be done with your own hands.

Adjustment and repair

When operating the toilet, problems periodically arise - then it flows, on the contrary, water is not recruited into it. Sometimes, tired of inconvenience, people buy new toilets. And in vain. Most of the faults are eliminated for 10-20 minutes. Moreover, everyone is so simple that everyone can cope. You do not need to call plumbing. You can do everything with your own hands.

Water level adjustment

It will be about devices with lower water supply. After installing the drain tank for the toilet, it is necessary to adjust. By default, they come to the maximum amount of water in the container. This amount is often redundant. With simple adjustment, we can reduce the volume of water in the tank. For this:

The same procedure is necessary if water constantly leaks out of the tank. One of the reasons is too high raised float. Because of this, water flows through the overflow system.

In the lateral supply of water and the float mechanism, the adjustment occurs even easier - we change the position of the float flexing its lever. On the one hand it is simpler, but on the other, it is more difficult. You have to bend it many times to achieve the required level.

Tank toilet flows

If water in the toilet is constantly leaking, and its level is normal, moving on. There are several reasons for the appearance of this leak. And if so, then the elimination methods will be different.

• The sealing gum under the trigger valve in the tank was stolen, dirt got under it, a furrow (or several) appeared on her surface. The method of treatment is the cleansing of the acting laying or its replacement for a new one. For resuscitation, old it is necessary:
  • turn off the water, pull it out,
  • remove the descent mechanism by reloading the plastic nut below;
  • pull out the shutter valve, remove and consider the gasket, clean it from the axial particles, if necessary (there is a groove), pollute very shallow sandpaper before smoothness;
  • install in place, connect everything and check the work.

Water is not recruited

Another problem, which can be eliminated with your own hands - water is not recruited in the drain tank. Most likely, the case in the cloud - a filter or tube has been hammered. To tell for a long time, better watch the video.

Really comfortable and convenient for accommodation will be the apartment or a house in which the plumbing will function well. In the event that there is a need to repair the toilet with their own efforts, first of all, it is necessary to figure out how it is arranged.

Any model of toilet bowl includes a bowl (fixed on the floor) and (located above the bowl). Most often, the need for repairing the bathroom occurs due to breakdowns inside the drain tank.

There are many problems related to the repair of the tank. One of the most complex and time consuming is the repairs of reinforcement. - This is a device with which the tank is again filled with water after the completion of the drain, automatically controls the volume of the water being drained, as well as overflow.

To sort out what problem arose in the reinforcement, you need to know what elements it consists of:

• dried hole located at an angle;
• straight to the drain hole joins the overflow tube;
• valve covers with dense elastic;
• mechanism required for filling;
• the mechanism of the drain button.

Having at home the following problems with a tank, it's time to think over it with a repair or complete replacement:

1. (Even a small trickle).
2. The drain process is not immediately after pressing the button, but as a result of multiple repetitions.
3. The process of the tank filming is very noisy.

If separate elements of the drain tank reinforcement are unusable, it is possible to replace them only, however it is important to ensure that all connecting elements are 100% approached to each other. Otherwise, the repair will not succeed and this will entail a complete replacement of all reinforcement.

How to open the lid?

It is possible to perform repair of the drain and other mechanisms of the toilet bowl after disassembling it and remove the cover from it. Consider their varieties and learn to open each of them.

With one button

To open it, you need to perform such actions:

1. using a flat screwdriver, turn carefully counterclock-wise Ring buttons;
2. when the ring will move easily, it is necessary to completely unscrew it without sweater tools;
3. pulling out the ring, reminiscent of the cylinder, shift perpendicularly the lid;
4. in this position easy to remove a double-sided clothespwhich holds the button;
5. now remove the upper part and repair the repairs;
6. when the breakdown is eliminated, collect the design in the reverse order.

With two buttons

Perform the following activities:

1. click on one any half buttons and roll with a finger side hole in another;
2. inserting a flat screwdriver to the found slot, carefully pull the button and get it off;
3. remove the second half;
4. in the resulting hole can be seen slotch screw to be unscrewed;
5. shift gradually the lid until it occurs perpendicular position;
6. remove the double-sided clothespin;
7. put the released lid on a flat surface so that it does not break;
8. after repair work, gather everything, observing reverse action.

Learn more about or two and repairing their specific breakdowns.

With stretching pull

There are models where the drop of water does not occur at the expense of pressing the button, but by raising up the thrust, which is located in the center of the lid. Remove the top of the tank will succeed when you will move away a small ball located at the end of the thrust. After that, the lid will easily rise.

Built-in toilet bowls

The design of similar tanks is very simple, unlike the above listed. It has only a small drainage device, which is a block. With a breakdown of a stipulated tank, only he can break.

To remove it, you do not have to break the walls. You need simply unscrew the wall button and get a drain device through it. After repair, it is easy to return it to the place through the same hole for the button.

How to disassemble a drain mechanism?

The scheme of disassembling the drain mechanism does not deliver special troubles and difficulties, if you adhere to some recommendations on this:

1. Remove the tank cover.
2. Look, is the locking mechanism well. The float is no more than half the water, and the water is not too close to the drain tube.
3. Before repairing, shut water and limit it to the tank.
4. Determine the kind of pear (pear-valve or pear-float).
5. Unscrew the Pear-Float in the event that additionally hold for stock.
6. Pear valve closes the plastic ring, which holds the trigger. You should take a ring and turn it counterclockwise, freeing the pear for inspection.
7. It is possible to remove the described device from the rods by pressing one of the clamps (four of them all).
8. If there are irregularities, cracks or rust in the pear, it must be replaced.
9. When replacing one device to another, make sure that their dimensions are completely identical.

Performing all the above instructions, you will never have a need to call the wizard, because all the work is under the power to implement yourself.

Adjusting individual elements

To install a new system that is responsible for filling with water, we need such tools:

• plastic ruler or metal tape measure;
• adjustable key;
• spanners;
• recently acquired components of reinforcement.

Water can enter the tank. If we are talking about lateral summing, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Install the diameter of the water reducing pipe.
2. Choose the system that is needed for your model. It is quite simple to make it - you need to remove the cover from the tank and see which the armature is in it. After that, to buy the same for sure.
3. After the whole design is purchased, you can install new water intake reinforcement.
4. Discharge water access to the toilet.
5. Open the lid and completely drain the water.
6. Remove the old fittings. You can do this after you turn off the nut on the flexible hose. At the same time, be sure to hold the whole design.
   

   This event under the power to fulfill and one person - the main thing is to work with both hands..

In the case when the water comes from below, it will be necessary to face it pretty to unscrew the nut. It will turn out to be made only by handicraft materials or before shorting the standard wrench:

1. Carefully inspect the strip already used. If it does not have visible damage or disorders, it is allowed to use it again for a new design installed.
2. New reinforcement should stand so as not to interfere with the operation of the drain system, as well as Do not touch the walls of the tank itself.
3. Connect water.
4. Check the accuracy of the work performed.

Customize the plum system

Provided proper work Plum systems can be saved a significant amount of money that it would be necessary to spend for excessive water consumption. So that without the help of the wizard to start repairing a flip tank, all stages of work should be performed in strict sequence., not missing possible breakdowns and shortcomings.

1. Get rid of breakdowns of the float mechanism. Understand whether there are problems with him quite simply. The main indicator - the tank is constantly filled with water, and it immediately flows into the toilet.
   

   There are several reasons leading to this process:
   

   • bad inlet valve (In some cases, it fails due to a large water pressure);
   • incorrect functioning of the buoy (as a result of long-term operation, the float can crack and fill with water);
   • skotsky lever (It should be horizontally 20 mm below the hole through which water is recruited).
2. Eliminate the constant flow of water in the toilet. Most often, this problem arises due to the expiration of the expiration date of the ziphon membrane. It must be replaced with a new one.
   

   To do this, drain the water, remove the siphon, replace the old new membrane, Install the siphon to place, attach it to the lever and tighten the fastening nut.

For full adjustment of the drainage mechanism of a flip of toilet bowl, if he broke, it is necessary to eliminate all these malfunctions.

Replacement of reinforcement with their own hands

Start a replacement work follows disable water supply and draining it. After that, the feed hose is removed and the tank itself is unscrew. Then the old reinforcement is pulled out and the water supply faucets is unscrewed.

The final stage of repair - installation of new fittings and fixing the bowl on the toilet. Check the correct position of the float And the normal functioning of the sealing washer located on the water supply hose. Special attention is paid to the nut tightening the hose. Extra effort In its twisting is not needed.

Video on the repair and replacement of the replacement of a drain tank toilet bowl with their own hands help you better understand the question:

How to remove the tank completely if the repair is impossible?

If the toilet tank is not subject to repair, it should be accurately replaced - but how to do that? It is necessary to act in a specific sequence:

1. Stop water supply. With a Swedish adjustable key, disconnect the water supply.
2. Unscrew the drain button.
3. Remove the lid.
4. Unscrew two screws that bowl joins the toilet (they are at the bottom of the tank).
5. To install the old gasket to install a new. This will help in the future to avoid possible leaks.
6. Attach a new tank to the toilet, strictly adhering to the reverse sequence of actions.

Install the tank should be definitely smoothly, otherwise it or crawl or will leak. The bolts towards the toilet are screwed gradually to avoid skews.

In case of problems with the work of the toilet no need to panic and immediately contact the master. Having at home some screwdrivers and pliers, as well as listening to the recommendations of specialists, all work can be performed by yourself, even if you do it for the first time.
