Thank you so much Mr Fowler. I managed to replace my Siamp inlet valve following your great instructions. 4 days on and still no leaks and seems to be working fine.. only problem I had was the fibre washer that was supplied didn’t fit my pipe connector but luckily I had one that did. Great video not sure I would have managed without it..👍

Thank you so much Mr Fowler for making such a super, instructive, informative and detailed video! This has enabled me to fix our bust bog with confidence and at a total cost of less than £18 (for the Siamp 99T from local plumber merchant). For me the hardest bit was working out how to remove the surrounding fascia to our toilet. Rest was easy peasy thanks to your video and great commentary. Thank you!

@@FixitwithFowler thank you 🙏 I was thinking if it was the push down buttons it would just be them that didn't work, but would have no effect on water cistern not filling up. I'll take a pic of inside and take to local DIY shop for replacement. Fingers 🤞

Yeah thats a good idea. If you find a plumbers merchant/wholesalers, they are normally really helpful.

Really helpful video, just replaced mine and I feel like I’ve earned a new #dadskill badge. I had no disasters with water and no mess after following this. Toilet is super quiet on the refill and flushes like a dream. I went for the Flomasta from screwfix as it was reasonably priced and had the brass thread.

great video. ive just replaced the valve on mine. made sure i levelled up the little plastic markers but now it screams and pressure builds up and it shuts off the water! ive loosened off the plastic screw for now but its really loose to stop the noise. i definitely have the right valve.

Have you tried closing the isolation valve on the outside of the toilet slightly? That will reduce the flow/pressure inside the fill unit.

Hi! Thank you for this! I've managed to fix mine (only the rubber bit needed replaced) but I'm a bit confused where the water is actually coming out. Any chance you could explain? I get paranoid unless I fully understand how something works 😅

@FixitwithFowler

Жыл бұрын

Hi, the diaphragm (the rubber bit) basically acts like a seal that opens and closes. Sometimes, these can become perished or dirty, meaning they dont work properly.

Hiya, thanks for sharing. Why did you replace the whole fill part rather than just the valve that was split?

Hello Thanks for the tips - mine is not filling up.. Can I manually fill the tank for use until plumber gets here?

Yes you can fill the system manually. Just be careful when pouring the water in.

@FixitwithFowler

Жыл бұрын

Yes of course you can, don't overfill it though

We have a Siamp toilet suite. A small grey plastic "plug" that controls the outlet flow, keeps popping out of the top of the inlet when the cistern is filling. When that happens the water sprays up, hits the lid causing it to leak down the outside of the cistern. We've turned down the water pressure to stop this but the cistern now takes ages to fill. Can it be replaced or do we need to replace the whole inlet unit? Hope you can help.

Its normal for the seal on the plunger of the flush unit to distort and that can cause the toilet to run continuously
