Toilet cistern doesn't fill up

Cistern doesn't fill up, removed fluid master and the water just run very,very slowly.
valve is fully turn on. The supply pipe to the cistern are connected to tank in the attic. Is it possible that there could be an air lock in the pipes? or perhaps the gravity flow isn't good enough. Problem started with one toilet not filling up, now after 2 months the 2nd toilet stopped working. I checked the tank for any debris but looks clear to me.
Any solution?

Regards,
Darek

It sounds like one or more of your shut off valves has a glog from hard water calcium. were from indiana its a big problem here.To check this u will have to shut off main water supply and remove top of shut off valve and check for white crusty blockage, even if u see a few particals its present. It can severely restrict flow.

Try checking the supply valve under the toilet some times if they are old the gaskets will get all chewed up and partially blosck your water from coming into the tank

Can low water pressure cause my toilet cisterns to keep running

NO
persistent running is problem valve washers either in the water level control or the flush washer under the press buttons
low pressure will take a longer time to fill but when the level is attained the water will stop flowing in

Dual flush toilet fills slowly. The fill valve is pushing water cistern seems ok. The fill hose shoots water down overflow tube this is the design. If hose placed tank it fills no problem.

check /replace the small rubber washer at the end of the fill tube as they tend to grow with age and reduce the flow of water past the inlet

Ive replaced 3 toilet fill valve with 440a Fluid master fill valves height is good water level good.After a while it sounds like there is leak by from all toilet.Flappers have been replaced. What coul

check the overflow pipe in the cistern tank as some fill valves do not stop completely but allow input of water after the noise has stopped. This allows the water level to rise up and the water to flow out into the toilet bowl. Reduce the water level height by adjusting the cut off level and when the water rises past the new level the increase pressure on the valve will shut it off.

How to mend a running gural vitrifiye toilet cistern

With lid removed, look down into it and remove and replace the black rubber thing in the center. This is the flush valve and is worn to the point where is no longer provides a tight seal allowing water to pass and run into bowl. Also, could be something underneath it not allowing it to seat properly.

Twyford dual flush cistern

replace the whole control unit
There may be 2 problems
the small washer that shuts off the water flow when the level is reached may be swollen and not sealing properly
the section at the bottom has cracked at a thread level
so by replacing the unit you will eliminate both problems
to remove the unit, turn off the water tap, flush the system, holding the button down until all of the water has gone
remove the inlet pipe at the bottom of the cistern
undo the retaining nut under the cistern and lift the control unit out
there will be water in the bottom of the cistern so use old towels on the floor to soak up the water that will run out

I have a push button flush and water is filling up toilet cistern more slowly than usual after the flush has been used - is there a problem with this? I don't know what brand it is but probably comes from...

A couple of things you should check. Is valve on water supply line fully opened? Does 'flapper' or ball seal the discharge tube completely? Is fill tube functioning properly? One or more of these is causing the problem

Replaced the flapper with a new one and the toilet will lose water until it triggers the fill valve in maybe an hour. Is the gasket betwenn the tank and the cistern leaking slowly?

check the fill tube. sometimes they crack, put some food coloring in the tank and that will help you find leaks too. gently squeeze the tube and see if you see water running down the inside of the tube

Toto CST853 cistern will not refill. Was fine yesterday. City is working on pipes and broke a water main last evening, all other faucets and toilets are working....can I clean the water filter or does it...

alot of times you can turn the water off to the toilet and the tops of the fill valves usually pop or screw off. then if you put a small cup over the top of the fill valve you can turn it back on and flush the debris out and put it back together. if its a fluid master type you can pop the top off it. and turn the float arm a 1/4 to half turn and the whole top will come off
