Discuss Continously running toilet in the DIY Plumbing Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi,

My pump was cycling when no water was running and I finally tracked it down to a toilet where the water was continuously running into the bowl (only very slightly).

I have taken the top off the cistern and that has stopped the problem - leading me to believe that the problem must lie with one of the push buttons. However, I'm not sure what the next step is from here. Is there a way to adjust the system so that the buttons have to be pushed in further to activate the flush? Or do I need to file down the end of the lever on the button or something like that?

I've attached a photo in case that helps!

Matt

Unlikely to be the push button, as that looks original valve. Chances are it’s debris on the base of the flush valve seal. Usually a bayonet style, so twist anti-clockwise to undo, and pull out. Replace or clean seal as necessary.
