Overflowing urinal cistern

[Ray Stafford]

If its dripping steadily from the petcock into the cistern, and flushing periodically, its working exactly as designed.

If its dripping steadily from the urinal spreaders, then its the auto-syphon thats gone.

If its dripping from anywhere else - somethings leaking!

Start again ...... If the pet cock is letting a small steady flow of water into the cistern and the auto syphon is at its flush level , it will leak the same amount back into the urinal . Or have I had toooooo much jack daniels lol.

Put a new pet cock on or iso valve in the morning it wont do any harm to pull out the syphon out and clean it and give it a go.

Hopefully nobody has chucked anything in the cistern .

Pet cock is adjustable ..although under regs you are supposed to fit water saving device I.e cistermiser to save water...although a complete overhaul would not go a miss ....auto syphon sized according to size of cistern and amount of urinal's known as range of ...1 ..2..3.etc...regards Turnpin:smile5:

if itis filling as fast as its emptying it will constantly flush if it flushes and stops but still drips water must be passing into the syphon tube

Get the syphon for those at toolstation

Fit a timer for the syphon that what we had to do the other day in a school

doesnt make sense mate if you fit a timer to the syphon you would over flow the bowl

but if you mean fit a solenoid and timer to the mains would make more sense
